Is Corfu just a busy party island, or is there hidden charm behind the hype? Welcome to Episode 4 of my Mediterranean Cruise on the Enchanted Princess! Today, we arrive at our second port of call: Corfu, Greece. Join me as I set foot on Corfu for the very first time! From navigating shuttle bus confusion at the port and finding its a Greek Orthodox holidaylocal to exploring historic fortresses and tackling a sudden turn in the weather at sea, here is everything that happened in port two of this short 5 day cruise. 📍 WHAT’S IN THIS EPISODE: Port Prep & Breakfast: As the sun tries to peek through, it's time for breakfast at the International Café, before taking the $15 Princess Cruise shuttle into Corfu Old Town. Port Logistics & Advice: Why walking to town might waste your time, where to find taxis, and why you should avoid the Hop-On Hop-Off bus here! Exploring Corfu Old Town: A surprise run-in with Greek Orthodox Easter Monday, closed local markets, quiet alleyways, and a surprisingly lively local atmosphere. The Old Fortress: 2 hours exploring historic battlements, incredible coastal views up by the lighthouse, a beautiful interior church, and a very windy outdoor café! Sailaway Drama: Port views, ferry traffic, and watching a 'pier runner' catch the ship, with the help of port staff, before the gangway goes up! Unexpected Rough Seas: Captain's weather warning! After 4 days of smooth sailing, the ship starts to "rock and roll"—leading to closed outer decks and some struggling first-time cruisers. Evening Fun & Entertainment: Main theatre magic show, dinner in the Main Dining Room (with a bittersweet chef's parade), the classic Marriage Match Gameshow, and Party Band Easy Life performing on a rockin' Piazza dance floor! ⏱️ CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS: 00:27 - Welcome to Corfu!

The walk from the ship to the town exit is long, and walking into Old Town takes 30–45 minutes. Skip the Hop-On Hop-Off: The bus cannot enter the narrow interior streets of the Old Town where all the charm is! Check Local Holidays: Orthodox Easter falls on a different date than Western Easter—keep an eye out for local closures! 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: Have you ever cruised to Corfu?
