Monument of Menecrates

Attraction· 6 min from marina (461m)

You'll find this ancient cenotaph from 600 BC right in Corfu town, making it one of the oldest surviving monuments from the original Greek city of Korkyra. The tomb honors Menecrates, and what makes it special is how remarkably well-preserved the archaic Greek inscriptions are after over 2,600 years. It's a fascinating glimpse into ancient Corfu's early history that you can easily explore while wandering through the modern city.
