Vido

Island Small island off Corfu, WWI cemetery site

Vido lies at the mouth of Corfu’s harbor, reachable by short boat from Corfu town; visitors stop for sheltered beaches, pine walks and war memorials.

Vido is a small island at the entrance to Corfu harbour off the eastern coast of the Greek island of Corfu. The island is best known for the World War I Serbian military cemetery and memorial established for soldiers who died after evacuation to Corfu.

The island has sheltered bays and short boat connections from Corfu town, and visitors commonly go ashore to visit the cemetery and memorial monuments. The landscape is rocky and largely undeveloped apart from memorial structures and basic visitor paths.

Vido sits immediately off the port of Corfu, close to the Old Fortress and the central town, and is reachable by short passenger boat trips from the harbour.

Serbian cemetery: A Serbian military cemetery and memorial on the island commemorates thousands of Serbian soldiers who died after evacuation to Corfu during World War I.
