The Archeological Museum impresses, the many archeological exhibits aside, by its famous Gorgon Medusa statue, which is said to be one of the best preserved archaic works of art in the entire Greece. All items displayed are findings ascertained to date back from Antiquity, more precisely, from the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods, so a visit to this museum is a complementary manner of spending good quality time in Corfu.
Given its location in the Ionian Sea, Corfu – which is the northernmost of all significant Ionian Island – makes possible trips to Albania (port of Saranda)
As far as northwestern beaches go, the Sidari Beach, part of the homonymous resort, is said to be the most impressive of all, which is why it is so highly frequented.
The Kapodistrias Museum complements the picture of museums and galleries Corfu is replete with. Dedicated to Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first governor of Greece
