St George
by antz
In Benitses, as in most resorts, there are a number of water sports that you can take part in. One day, just sitting in the bar, we saw a stand on a pier that was doing paragliding. My friend went down to check how much it cost as she knew that I would do it. I said yes straightaway and it is one of the best things I have ever done! The feeling you get up there is amazing as is the view. I would recommend to anyone to try this! We made friends with a family from Britain who were staying in the same resort as us. One day they invited us to go with them to St George to where there was a sandy beach (as the ones in Benitses are rocky). We went and got ourselves sun loungers, made ourselves comfortable, and lay in the sun. Just a few minutes later, I saw something I have never seen before - men walking along the beach selling doughnuts! We made friends with one of them, a local named Kostas - his cousin owned a bar in Benitses and he invited us to meet him for a drink. We did so and ended up going out for dinner and had a fantastic night! If you go to St George and speak to the doughnut sellers, speak to Kostas and tell him Karen from Scotland is thinking of him!

You must rent a car or a bike and drive around the island, so you can discover the exrtremely beautiful seasides.There are so many beaches around the Kerkyra island that no mater how long you are going to stay is not enough. In the north part of the island there is the famous beach of SIDARI, the CANAL D'AMOUR as it is called. Don't miss it.

KANONI PENINSULA (5 km south of Corfu town). This is the site of the ancient capital but the most visited sight are two beautiful islets: MONI VLAHERNAS, (reached by a causeway - on this photo) & MOUSE ISLAND (PONDIKONISSI) (on the next photo).
Spianada and Liston
by Christianne
Spianada or Esplanade the largest square in the Balkans.
Have your breakfast here. I used to do it with my aunt when I was a child.
On the north - western side of the Spianada is the Liston, an arcade of mansions modelled on the famous Parisian Rue de Rivoli.
