About this destination

Corfu is the greenest of the Greek islands, with olive groves, cypress lanes and Venetian architecture shaped by centuries of British and French rule. The UNESCO-listed old town of Corfu Town feels like a Mediterranean fairytale.

The island balances lively resorts with remote mountain villages. The north coast offers sandy beaches and family facilities, while the south is wilder and more rugged – ideal for those seeking solitude among Byzantine churches and hidden coves.
