Corfu
Greece – Ionian Islands
Corfu is one of Greece’s greenest and most enchanting islands, where turquoise waters meet lush olive groves and dramatic coastlines. Steeped in a mix of Greek, Venetian, French, and British influences, the island offers a rich blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Its charming capital, Corfu Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with pastel-coloured buildings, cobbled streets, and elegant squares.
The island’s coastline offers something for everyone—from the golden sands of Glyfada and Agios Gordios to the hidden coves of Paleokastritsa. Inland, rolling hills and sleepy villages provide a taste of authentic Corfiot life, with tavernas serving fresh seafood, local wines, and dishes infused with Mediterranean herbs. Corfu’s warm climate, scenic landscapes, and welcoming atmosphere make it a favourite for couples, families, and culture lovers alike.
