The spectacular scenery, great beaches and little coves, water sports, friendly villages, mountains and nature reserve provide a great contrast to the bigger, livelier holiday resorts where you can really let your hair down. It’s all so gloriously Greek! The food here is pretty special, with the freshest fish you’ve ever tasted. It’s hard to beat the pleasure of a long slow meal with local wine at a beachside taverna as the sun goes down. Corfu is a magical place of lush valleys and rolling hills with a dramatic mountain backdrop lavishly covered in cypress and olive trees. You can opt for a villa in a tiny secluded village for total peace and relaxation, and from there visit Corfu Town. It's got layers of history to explore including churches, narrow cobbled streets, fine museums and two fortresses. Take a break from sightseeing in the excellent restaurants, bars and pavement cafes and hidden leafy squares. Hiring a boat is a most enjoyable way to explore the extensive coastline where you'll discover hidden beaches and coves, some only accessible by sea. Or let someone else be the captain and join one of the many tours which depart from the resorts.
