Short answer: Day 1 Sidari and a boat, Day 2 Peroulades, the cape and sunset, Day 3 a quieter north-coast village such as Agios Stefanos or Roda. Hire a car for days 2 and 3.
Day 1: Sidari and the boat
Walk to Canal d’Amour in the morning, then take a boat trip along the coast. Check wind and the operator’s hours first.
Day 2: Peroulades and Cape Drastis
Drive to Peroulades, walk the gravel track to the viewpoints and return before dark (see how to see Cape Drastis). For the sunset also compare Logas Beach.
Day 3: Agios Stefanos, Roda or Acharavi
Pick a quieter village. Distances from Corfu Town: Agios Stefanos 39.5 km, Roda 37.5 km (atcorfu.com). We did not verify beach details, so check recent reviews. Also see tours from Sidari if you prefer a guided day.
Car
Flights and base
For a base, Sidari suits days 1 and 2; Peroulades or Agios Stefanos suit quiet nights. This is our opinion; see where to stay.
