corfu is one of the most beautiful of the greek islands and it doesn't get enough attention
outside of europe that's why today i'm going to be sharing five amazing things to do on your next
trip to corfu you've got to put this place on your radar it's absolutely incredible here we go
one of the key differences between an island like corfu and the ionian sea and we are closer
to italy right now in albania is the architecture this isn't like the the cyclades this isn't like
santorini or noxos or poros or mykonos i don't see white houses here with blue roofs no this place
has a lot of venetian influence but also french british it feels more like you're in italy to be
honest with you i haven't been in italy but i've been in spain and it reminds me of seville spain
a little bit when you come to corporate town you have to embrace the history here we're about to
enter the old fortress this was built in the 6th century that's old 6th century started by
the byzantines and then completed by the venetians who ruled here for 400 years and you're going to
see a lot of their influence all over this town corfu was prime real estate and now you can see
why the location here of the old fortress was so strategic the admission to the old fortress is six
euros i would have paid double for this absolutely incredible place with so much to explore we're not
very far from italy pinocchio this is our fifth island in greece and adriana and i both agree
corfu town is our favorite city i mean it feels like a big town but it's our favorite city so far
this is the most european car you could possibly rent i never see this in new york city the smart
cars something very distinctive about corfu and the ionian islands in general is just how lush and
green the landscape is here completely different than visiting let's say santorini or mykonos
agios spiridon beach at paglio castriza this is the most popular beach in all of corfu
and obviously the most crowded here on a sunday but adriana using her cat-like
reflexes pounce the second somebody left he snagged us these two chairs for how much
for 10 years and you can stay as long as you want and we get this view right here
all right it's time to jump in water is cold rocky you might want to bring water
shoes for this but when it's you know like over 90 degrees just hopping in here it's gonna be heaven
i would best describe that as jumping into an ice cold bath
we are driving up this winding ass road to a monastery above the beach
they always like you more why no admission charge was originally
a byzantine monastery built in the 13th century
and it's very beautiful just to walk around this place just makes you want to take a nice nap
somebody pinch me this is by far the nicest hotel room i have ever stayed
in my entire life and may ever stay in my entire life we've got a private pool
and a private jacuzzi i mean i would have been happy with either or but no they gave us both
and this my friends is why it pays to have status with hotels i am now marriott
platinum and i booked the domus miramar in korfu 35 000 points a night a category five
i was absolutely shocked that that was the value for it i had some free night certificates
and lo and behold they upgrade us to this room if you've seen my vegas videos you know how we talked
about the mini bar if you move anything you get charged for it here it's the opposite everything
in here is included the first round i don't even know if this is alcoholic i'm just assuming it is
we've got five nights here it's gonna be tough to leave the hotel room we will leave the room
of course because corfu is such a cool island but oh so hard to leave the room you can hop
right in to the ionian sea with our type of room we have access to something called the hout
living room which is like a private area here private pool private beach right here also snacks
unlimited drinks though if you don't have one of the rooms on the higher end of this resort
the rest of the hotel is still gorgeous the beach for the majority of the guests
the pool this hotel has had by far the best breakfast buffet i've ever seen in my entire life
they have everything do you even get champagne you're looking for luxury looking for a place just
to unwind the domus miramar absolutely couldn't recommend them any higher check the link down
below in the description if you're interested in booking them i wanted to show you guys something
that really wasn't in that many guidebooks for core food it's called part of my pronunciation
clomos and it's one of the oldest villages on the entire island dating back to the 13th century
one of his nicknames is the balcony of corfu absolutely spectacular views from up here
this is very refreshing because a lot of corfu is really developed with
the tourism infrastructure and this village right here feels like it's pretty much stuck in time
and that's an amazing thing in today's world especially on a very popular greek island like
corfu i think we've actually seen more cats than people here i don't know what he's trying to do
we decided to stop at this little cafe here at the beginning of town with this just epic view
frito cappuccino number 50 on this trip at least one a day minimum requirement
we're so close to albania we're picking up stations from tirana right behind me is kanala
the amore one of the most famous beaches in all of corfu now there's a legend that if two people
swim together here and kiss they will love each other forever but as you can see it is really
crowded and it's a small little beach even at 4 30 on a monday so the main beach was so crowded
that adriana and i decided to walk a little further down some steps and there's a couple
of other beaches that you can access i mean yeah feel free to go to the famous beach to take the
pictures fly your drone whatever but if you just want something a little more chill a little bit
less crazy there's a lot of kids over there come to one of the neighboring beaches this is perfect
i originally was not even going to include this place
in the video but adriana and i have been in greece for three weeks been to five different
islands and we've never experienced hospitality out of taverna quite like this one you've gotta
see this there's popular and then there's like the whole village is waiting to get in popular
run restaurant all you need is good food and make people feel welcome i feel like i'm training for
the beer olympics remember this is not on the menu but now you know you can order this you saw this
ah video workout so must be also a reason why you come back to have the same stuff
same thing yes indeed welcome home thank you from the house it's a toast with cheese tomato sauce
and then more cheese on top i swear i never had a toast this delicious in my life ever
it has onions too so good this lamb is from the village
slow cooked and i already know it's amazing
oh wow so tender
i don't even want to talk i just want to eat
more i rarely say that in a video that i don't want to describe it
amazing what kind of alcohol curious grapes grapes teach your
this is the kind of place where you come in like 8
30 and you leave sometime at dawn the next day and you don't live sober by the way
if you come to corfu and you don't eat at village taverna you are doing yourself a major disservice
just everything you you honestly feel like you're part of their family when you come to
their restaurant i will leave it at that check out our other greek videos in the playlist
