As we had previously visited the port and done a rather extensive tour of the major sights we opted to have a slow day and wander around the historic old town by ourselves. I could easily spend a week on this delightful island.
I just managed to sort and label our photos this morning so, while it's fresh in my mind I'll share a few.

The sun was shining and the sea was sparkling as we drew up in Palaiokastrista, Corfu a charming beachside village. As part of our tour we took a boat ride to see the caves that were just off the beach. It was an enjoyable, calm cruise in a traditional boat out to see the caves and all the pretty small fish.
Of course I took several photos of the caves and the area. My only regret was that we didn't have enough time to take a dip at the beach.
