Nature & walks · Corfu · ★★★☆☆
A wooded islet at the mouth of Corfu's harbour, about 1.2 km from the Old Port: shady paths, two small beaches, the ruins of its forts and the mausoleum of the Serbian soldiers who died on Corfu in the First World War. Reached only by boat, in summer.
Boats leave from Corfu's Old Port, but the service changes from year to year, so check at the port before you go, and take water and something to eat. The island is under a kilometre across; its beaches lie on the north side, and the mausoleum is near the landing. The sea around it, where thousands of Serbian soldiers were buried in 1916, is remembered in Serbia as the Blue Tomb.
