A narrow causeway shaves along the sea as your private car eases out of Corfu Town; gulls wheel and the runway beyond Kanoni hums with compressions of arriving jets. In four purposeful hours you move from the manicured terraces of the Achilleion to the layered streets of Kerkyra’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, each stop a different tempo: palace gardens that stage Greek myth, a postcard-perfect Vlacherna islet, and cobbled alleys where Venetian arches lean over cafe tables.
