What to skip in Corfu

Only if it fits your trip

• Is a Corfu food tour worth it?: It depends: operator sites list guided Old Town walks of about 3 to 3.5 hours with tastings and a seated meal from EUR 70 to 95 per person, which suits visitors who want a guide and a fixed plan, not those who want to pick their own taverna.
• Is a Paleokastritsa day trip worth it?: It depends: Paleokastritsa gives you six small coves, clear water and a monastery viewpoint, and the Green Bus A9 reaches it in about 50 minutes for EUR 2.80. Travelers also describe a crowded main beach, narrow roads and pebbly shores, so it suits an early or late visit more than a midday one.
• Is a Paxos and Antipaxos day trip worth it?: It depends: operator sites list Paxos and Antipaxos day cruises from about EUR 50 per adult, and the few verified traveler reports praise the water but describe crowded beaches and a long day. It suits swimmers with one free day, less so anyone who wants quiet coves.
• Is the Achilleion palace worth it?: Only as a short gardens stop for now: the palace interior has been closed since 2021 and the official restoration timetable now runs to about June 2029, so what you can buy for EUR 7 is the terraced gardens, the two famous Achilles statues and one of the island's best views. Worth it if you are nearby or care about Sisi; not worth a dedicated trip while the rooms stay shut.
• Is the Mount Pantokrator and north-coast day trip worth it?: It depends: a video uploader describes a panorama over the Ionian Sea, Albania and mainland Greece and a walker found Old Perithia quiet in the morning, but a hiker called the summit itself a disappointment of masts and fencing. Go early, with a car or a tour, for the view and the village lunch.
