Corfu offers everything you'd expect from Greece and more: from sparkling blue seas to its golden beaches, isolated coves, sleepy villages, lively resorts, outgoing people, and sweeping garden-like landscape. Amidst the towns' winding alleys, scent of citrus groves and silvery olive trees, you'll find welcoming tavernas and bars plus forested mountains sloping down to intimate sand and pebble bays. Topping it all are the stunning cliffs and coves of Paleokastritsa and the cool, scented slopes of towering Mount Pandokrator. Holidays to Corfu can be almost anything you want them to be. From the quaint fishing village that is Kassiopi to the non-stop resorts life of Sidari & Kavos. You'll find a dramatic and beautiful island that's full of contrasts. It all helps to explain why holidays to Corfu are so popular. |
| A wide selection of beaches can be found on Corfu island. From sandy beaches on the west coast, whilst on the east coast there is more shingle which keeps the sand at bay. The beach at Glyfada is reputed as the best on the island and a trip to Sidari's famous Canal d'Amour area with a couple of sandy coves is a must. Acharavi and Roda offer sandy beaches, ideal for families. Along with many of the Greek islands the best way to appreciate the great variety of Greek specialities is by ordering a meze which will consist of small local plates of dips as well as local fish and meat dishes for the whole family to enjoy. Taverna and restaurants offer a wide varierty of local and international cuisine |  |
