Corfu

Corfu is where Greece turns wonderfully green. One of the Ionian Islands, Corfu combines turquoise coves, olive-covered hills, elegant Venetian architecture and a distinctly laid-back Mediterranean atmosphere. It is an island made for exploring, with something to tempt beach lovers, families, foodies and culture seekers alike. The coastline is dotted with beautiful beaches, from long sandy stretches to secluded pebble coves framed by dramatic cliffs. The clear, calm waters are ideal for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking and boat trips, while the island’s lush interior offers scenic walking and cycling routes through olive groves and traditional villages. At the heart of the island, Corfu Town is a highlight in its own right. Its atmospheric old town, colourful streets, arcaded squares and Venetian fortresses reflect centuries of Mediterranean history and have earned UNESCO World Heritage status. Cafés, tavernas and small shops make it a pleasure to explore at a leisurely pace. Families can enjoy water parks, boat excursions and gentle beaches, while couples will find plenty of romantic viewpoints, sunset spots and waterfront restaurants. Add excellent Greek cuisine, local olive oil, fresh seafood and Corfiot specialities, and Corfu becomes an easy island to fall for. Whether the plan is beach days, island adventures or simply enjoying the Greek sunshine, Corfu delivers a wonderfully varied holiday.
