Faliraki
Just a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Corfu Town lies the little harbour of Faliraki. Though there are a few small tiny patches of beach, you’re better off just following the lead of the locals and jumping off the side of the pier. Don’t expect golden sands and azure water; the beauty here lies in its evocative location, with Venetian townhouses looming behind you, and views out towards the Old Fort and Vido Island. A perfect place to take a quick dip while exploring the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town.
