1. Corfu Donkey Rescue
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 457 reviews
Hope was our first rescue in January 2004, Dusty the second. Since then over 450 donkeys have been taken into our refuge here in Corfu. As a refuge we aim to give: the old a safe and happy retirement; the sick a chance of cure; the injured the chance of recovery; the abused the chance of regaining trust and hope and the abandoned the feeling of security again. Take a look on our website for more information, pictures and a detailed map.You are very welcome to visit us, see the work we do and experience the calm company of our donkeys.
2. Church of Saint Spiridon
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 720 reviews
Saint Spyridon Church , the miraculous and Saint of Corfu The history and the tradition of our local Church from 1456 is imminently connected with Saint Spyridon. The arrival of his holy relic from Istanbul, his staying in Corfu, the built of his church along with the establishment of five big feasts based on Him led the christians to believe that Corfu cannot exist without Him. But even our local Church owes Him a lot. Not only did He protect it during the hard times of the Venetian Occupation, but also from other foreign occupations. French, Russians, English, Italians and Germans have passed over our island, staying for different lapses of time.

Hi, The church has a lot of history behind. There are benches inside so you can sit and contemplate. Around the church are a lot of good stores where you can buy a lot of religious souvenirs.

A beach so spectacularly blue you have to pinch yourself hour after hour to check you are not dreaming. The water is immensely clear and the blueness goes on forever. It is a cove surrounded by luscious green mountains - with mountain goats for added Greek authenticity and the white sand is like silk upon the soles of Your feet. The waves are strong and the current powerful which makes it difficult to get out for a swim but it is immensely fun playing around in the waves on the vast shoreline. There are umbrellas and sun beds for a small fee of 3.50 each and a little beach bar with showers and toilets. I would recommend getting here before midday as the car park got quite busy. On the way down to the beach you must stop off at the viewpoint and film the panoramic views of the mountains meeting the ocean - I have never seen a view like it. Only A couple of warnings would be there are paragliders which land on the beach so be careful to stay out of there way and be careful with children playing in the sea without an adult. As I said the waves are powerful and will. Drag you under if you are not careful. I cannot recommend a beach to go to more highly than this for a perfect peaceful and fulfilling day on your travels.

7. Arillas Beach

Reviewed By andysmith1925 - England, United Kingdom
This beach is well suited to families in the central area with the usual sunbeds, brollies and showers. The north and south beaches are textile optional and both are sheltered by high cliffs. Access to the south and north beaches is sometime limited by high water levels and wading may be needed in places.

Picture perfect beach in Lefkada. High cliffs and clear blue water makes a perfect getaway. Make sure you come early in high season as parking lots aren’t very spacious. Windy road to get there but not too difficult to reach it.

Currently free parking at the Aquarium just at the bottom of the hill with a variety of tavernas and cafes. Beautiful cove for swimming, or just enjoying the view and taking photographs. It's a 20 minute walk up to the monastery from here, and although it is possible to drive up further, it's a very narrow road controlled by traffic lights, so unless you have mobility problems I would suggest taking on the walk and enjoy the view as you go! The monastery is lovely, we sat for a few minutes of quiet reflection and took the opportunity to light a candle, (donation invited). There is also a small museum which was fascinating, great collection if liturgical vestments, religious artworks and prayer books, some from the 15th century. Amazing collection with I imagine lots of stories to tell. Well worth a visit. There is also a lovely gift shop selling honey, and religious memorabilia as well as Corfu guide books in English and most other common languages.
