Archaeological Museum of Corfu
The museum was built between 1962 and 1965, in a plot donated by the Municipality of Corfu, on 1 Vraila Armeni St, in order to house the sculptures from the temple of Artemis. In 1994, two more rooms were added, and now contain finds from the recent excavations in the city of Corfu. The collections of the museum include: An old collection of unknown provenance, excavation finds from the ancient city of Corfu, finds from the Kerkyraean Cassiope, and finds from the excavations in the district of Thesprotia.

Municipal Gallery of Corfu
The Municipal Gallery of Corfu has been in operation since 1978 in a building which is a legacy of the Dalietos family. When the gallery became a legally-recognized public institution in 1991, an effort was made to make its collection, mainly constituted by donated works, more widely known. Among the most important collections are those of the Samartzis collection (42 works), the Aglaia Papa (23 works) and Philippos Makotsis (12 works) collections; while there are also two works donated by Nikolaos Ventouras.

The island has so much to offer in terms of interesting sites and excursions. Please ask us for more information.

From Sidari you can take a boat to the three picturesque offshore islands of Erikoussa,
Mathraki and Othoni.

Carnival celebrations on Corfu has widened and has been enhanced with Venetian influences. The first parade takes place in Corfu Town on the first Sunday of Carnival with a procession of floats to start off the fun and get people in the mood. On Tsiknopempti (the last Thursday of Carnival) the taverns filled with song, glasses filled with wine and the streets filled with confetti. The highlight of the celebrations take place on the third and final Sunday with the procession of the Carnival King, who is brought to trial for the sins of the previous year and sentenced to death by fire, so that all the evil is burnt with him. At the end of the procession he is cremated, his will is read and a great party with music and dancing follows. However, it is in the countryside and villages that Carnival really returns to its roots. The villagers disguise themselves from head to toe, often as old women and dance together to the music of the local 'orchestra'. These disguises traditionally allowed women to join in the fun without fear of recognition. The dancing is followed by the cremation of King Carnival accompanied by much eating and drinking before the forty days of fasting which precede Easter.


Corfiot Easter - For the Greek people, Easter is by far one of the most important festivals of the year and Easter in Corfu is unique! Good Friday brings solemn processions in memory of the burial of Christ. The processions are happening throughout the Island in every little village. The main procession that holds the most splendour starts at the Cathedral in Corfu Town at night fall and is watched by thousands of people. Many visitors come from Athens and all over Greece to fill the narrow streets of Corfu. The heart of the procession is the ‘Epitaphios’ a figure representing the body of Christ, beautifully decorated and carried aloft by soldiers and sailors, with all the High priests in brilliant robes, uniformed bands, school children, choirs, and all the faithful believers.

Holy Saturday - At 9:00 am begins the procession of St. Spyridon, the saving saint of the island. The relics of St. Spyridon are kept in a silver coffin in a tiny dark room in the corner of the church, where the main source of light comes from the slender votive candles carried by the faithful. His remains are carried through the town as the bands play the theme from Hamlet (played only on this day, and at no other time throughout the year ) .The most interesting place to be at the stroke of 11:00 on Saturday morning is the old section around the Liston Where the peaceful calm is shattered as a shower of pots and vases filled with water are thrown from thousands of windows and balconies to the streets down below, much to the delight of the locals and bewilderment of tourists! This symbolizes good luck for the year to come. A custom celebrated only in Corfu.
The evening once again brings thousands of people to the town where everyone assembles holding unlit candles while the Bishop of Corfu conducts mass. At the stroke of midnight the Bishop announces that “Christ has risen” and the bands burst into sound, cannons roar from the fortress, fire works explode, bells start ringing and everywhere is once again ablaze as every one lights their candles. A spectacular event! Not to be missed.


Pelekas Streetbeat - Pelekas, a small picturesque village in Corfu, has for more than 20 years, been a destination for travellers in search of something different. In the 80s and early 90s backpackers from all over the world flocked to the village looking for cheap, alternative holidays. Some of those same people still return every summer to meet up again with old friends.

The alternative life style, the beautiful beaches, the bars, clubs and restaurants have, over the years, attracted many musicians. At night the bars, taverns, squares and of course the beach were always full of live music. Guitars, didgeridoos, bagpipes, fiddles, harmonicas, trumpets, saxophones (and many more) have all featured at some point in one gig or another. Buskers would exchange song books and copy chord patterns from each other. Jam sessions were monumental and the sing-along of epic proportions - especially under a full moon. Bands, duets and trios, would form from one night to the next and contacts were made to follow up on at a later date.

Some of those same musicians, together with a new, younger generation, still bring their instruments as well as their bathing shorts. In recent years their desire to perform in Pelekas, together with the desire of the local council and businesses to attract visitors, gave birth to Pelekas Streetbeat.

Most recently, in 2004, bands from Italy, Greece, Holland and the UK played in the two village squares. People came from surrounding towns and villages to enjoy the music, eat, drink and dance.
