LOCATION – CORFU IMPERIAL
Set on the exclusive Kommeno peninsula, Grecotel Corfu Imperial enjoys a privileged location between Dassia and Gouvia Marina, within easy reach of Corfu Town (12 km / ~30 minutes), a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its charm and lively Mediterranean spirit. The hotel’s position offers effortless exploration of the island—from the renowned “Kantounia” of the Old Town to nearby marinas, which provide opportunities for elegant sea transfers to Corfu Town and the surrounding Ionian islands.
PAXOS
South of Corfu, Paxos reveals a quieter side of the Ionian. Best approached by sea, the island is known for its white limestone cliffs, blue caves, sheltered coves and the waterfront villages of Gaios, Loggos and Lakka. A private cruise can continue to neighbouring Antipaxos, where pale beaches and breathtaking turquoise waters invite long, unhurried swims.
VENETIAN FORTRESSES
Corfu’s imposing fortresses bear witness to more than four centuries of Venetian rule. The Old Fortress rises dramatically above the sea, while the New Fortress overlooks the historic town and harbour. Walk through monumental gates, stone passages and fortified walls to discover the island’s strategic past, together with sweeping views across Corfu Town and the Ionian.
CORFU OLD TOWN
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Corfu Old Town is a fascinating blend of Venetian architecture, French influence and Greek island life. Wander through the narrow kantounia, past ochre façades, hidden squares and small neighbourhood churches, before reaching the arcades of the Liston and the grand Spianada. Historic landmarks, local shops and lively cafés unfold around every turn.
HOW TO GET THERE
Corfu Imperial is approximately 14 km from Corfu International Airport “Ioannis Kapodistrias” (CFU), around 40 minutes by car, and 11 km from Corfu New Port, approximately 30 minutes away. Corfu Town is 12 km from the hotel and can be reached in around 30 minutes.
