We had a great time in Kanoni and mon repos park. Not so keen on the achilleion and this wasn't worth the extra euros. Due to being out of season we got a visit to the observatory which was so good and made our day with the views of corfu. Tips- wear masses of anti repellent for the park, mosquito everywhere and we had avoided bites until then. Guide was polite, friendly and helpful and gave some great background and interesting stories.
