Jagged mountains add drama to this paradisiacal island that’s encircled by cerulean waters and boasts a fascinating cultural heritage that has influenced its food and architecture.
Corfu may be a large island, but it has the personality of one far smaller. Rustic towns hint at the miscellany of its European influences, their buildings baked and bleached by long summers. The hospitality is friendly and warm, with deliciously fresh and hyper-local menus that are distinctly Corfiot.
Many of Corfu’s waters are blue to the point of surrealism, where milky turquoise hues mingle with sapphire and bright aquamarine, and it's easy to find a quiet spot on a secluded beach and appreciate the view. But the temptation of Corfu’s fascinating past may prove too hard to resist both the Achilleion Palace, an Empress’ splendid summerhouse, and the Palaio Frouio that stand ready to tell their stories about the island.
Our Corfu experts can reveal more about this Ionian island and plan the perfect trip.

Corfu to Albania in a Day
Peeling yourself away from the tranquility of postcard-perfect Corfu won’t come easy, but this day-long trip to Albania is well worth switching things up for.

A population of picturesque villages present the ideal spot for a leisurely saunter, while a fusion of snow-capped peaks and glittering emerald lakes offer plenty to marvel at. One of the highlights of the trip has to be our visit to Butrint. This UNESCO world heritage site plays home to a captivating hub of historical remains, lending an authentic glimpse into times gone by.

Sail the Blue Lagoon: Parga & Sivota
From the leisurely lap of the sparkling Ionian sea to the spectacular shimmer of the cobalt-hued Blue Lagoon, this trip is all about embracing nature’s beauty. Cruise from Corfu harbour with its old time surroundings to the Kanoni peninsula and make memories that will last a lifetime as you soak up some of Greece’s most magnificent panoramas. Think powdery white beaches, intriguing sea caves and waters so clear you can see straight to the bottom. The blue caves also play home to the Mediterranean monk seal, so if you love nothing more than a bit of wildlife spotting, be sure to keep your eyes peeled. For those that would rather while their time away in pretty boutiques and traditional tavernas, a stop off in Gaios Village offers just the ticket. Scoop a souvenir as a memento of your adventure or if you’d rather, savour the mouthwatering flavour of Greece with a freshly-prepped salad and a sip Ouzo. As the saying goes, ‘it’s five o’clock somewhere!’

Where is Corfu?
The Greek island of Corfu is off mainland Greece’s northwest coast, circled by the Ionian Sea.
Corfu Town
The island’s capital is disarmingly lovely, with Venetian architecture flanking cobbled streets. It’s honoured with UNESCO World Heritage status for its outstanding authenticity and architectural integrity.
East coast resorts
The areas of Dassia and Messonghi on Corfu’s east coast enchant visitors with their beautiful beaches and relaxed ambience.
North Corfu
Head to the north of Corfu for bays and coves along the shoreline, only interrupted by taverna-lined towns. Hire a car and set out on an exploration, hopping from village to village on a scenic drive to the summit of Mount Pantokrator. Or pay a visit to the beautiful white cliffs at Cape Drastis in the northwest corner, kissed by azure waters.
West Corfu
The west coast of Corfu is wild and dramatic and has a far-flung feel. Porto Timoni Beach and Rovinia Beach are both secluded stretches of sand only reached on foot or boat. Or you could search out Angelokastro, a Byzantine castle perched on a peak near Paleokastritsa.
Hilltop villages
Hire a car and zigzag your way up to the island's heartland through traditional Corfiot villages where time has seemingly stood still, and olive groves and ancient churches line the roads.
