How to avoid the worst of it today
- The old town lanes 9:00 At nine the kantounia are washing lines and bakeries, two hours before the tenders land.
- The Achilleion First entry The coaches own it from ten to three; take the first entry or the last hour.
- Paleokastritsa Afternoon The coves empty once the day boats scatter, and the mountain villages never fill.
Where the crowds are
- The port-to-Liston corridor: Cruise floods channel up the same three lanes.
- The Achilleion's terraces: The coach loop's fixed anchor.
Quiet places in Corfu
- The back kantounia: Two turns off the main flow the town is residential again.
