Kerkyra is the Old Town of Corfu, filled with charming historical narrow streets to wander around. Any tourist map here will be irrelevant, the route for research will be found by itself.

This is noticeable in the architecture of local fountains and houses, unlike the rest of Greece. The entire area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you can visit interesting souvenir shops, restaurants and taverns.
Achilleion Palace is another attraction of the island, which was built by the Empress of Austria, Elisabeth of Bavaria, to forget the personal tragedy - the death of her son. She was deeply attached to Corfu and obsessed with its beauty. Italian architect Raffaele Carittobuilt this palace inspired by the legends of the ancient hero Achilles. When the Empress was assassinated, the German Kaiser Wilhelm II purchased the castle as his personal property, preserving the beautiful gardens and architecture until it was sacked during the First and Second World Wars. The building was both a military headquarters and a summit meeting place, and only recently became a museum.
Paleokastritsa is a village in the northwest of Corfu nestled between hills of olive groves and citrus orchards.

Corfu Residence 4 reviews
According to most tourists, the hotel rooms are spacious, with good air conditioning, TV, refrigerator and a small kitchen. Some holidaymakers at the complex commented that their room looked dated when they checked in, with a dirty bathroom. The apartments are really just renovated and need updating. The hotel rooms are very spacious, the terrace is great for exercise. Vacationers hadthe opportunity to practice yoga every morning in the fresh air, listening to birds singing.
Some vacationers got rooms without a sea view. In addition, the bathroom was damp and smelled of sewage. The hotel's television programs were limited to news, with no proper selection of films or children's entertainment. Towels in the hotel are not changed every day. Vacationers did not like that the Wi-Fi signal was poorly connected, and mobile communications were constantly interrupted. The hotel staff, according to reviews, is very pleasant and friendly.
The nearby beach is about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. Not only is it pebbly, it is also very small. But at least the sea was perfect - crystal clear and warm. The hotel is in a beautiful location and is located on different levels, it is quite a steep climb, which makes it unsuitable for tourists with disabilities. The reviews also note that the hotel's location is the best on the island of Corfu, thanks to which guests were able to travel a lot, sightseeing, without additional financial costs.
Nissaki beach is small but clean, with delicious Greek dishes at the Mitsos tavern nearby. And the sea is fantastic for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. The nearest shops are within a 1-minute walk from the hotel. The beach is a little further away (about 8 minutes walk from the complex).
The dining room of the hotel is not large enough to accommodate all the guests at the same time,and not very clean. And although the meals were distributed within two hours, the guests had to queue. Many vacationers noted good food in the dining room of Corfu Residence Hotel 4. According to reviews, the food in it was homemade, tasty and quite varied. It offers traditional Greek dishes with a small selection of salads and appetizers. A good choice was meat dishes, seafood and desserts, as well as pasta and vegetables.
Tourists liked the pool. It is small but clean, with many buzzing bees around it. This unpleasant moment can be a problem for people with allergic reactions. There are not enough sun loungers by the pool for all guests.
Tourists who got two-room apartments noted in their reviews gloomy, dark ceilings in the rooms, an old kitchen set in the kitchenette and a dirty bathroom, as well as the deterioration of the bathroom itself with black smudges and mold on the walls. There was no sea view from the apartments. Constant complaints were about the terrible food with processed products left after lunch and served at dinner. Guests were disappointed by the low-quality tea bags and tasteless coffee, as well as the serving of drinks in fragile plastic cups without ice. Disappointed with the choice of desserts and fruits (except apples and watermelons). There was dissatisfaction with the same breakfast every day. It also gives advice to other tourists not to try the terrible "cocktail of the day" in the pool.
On the positive side, it was noted that Nissaki is a quiet place withbeautiful nature. There are many villas in this area. Unfortunately, there are only two mini-markets and only four cafes. For lovers of nightlife, bars and discos, Corfu Residence 4 is not the right place.
