7 Nights Family Holidays in Sidari, Corfu - From Cork

Corfu Holidays

Lying off Greece's northwest coast, Corfu and its famous beaches define our notion of an idyllic Greek getaway. Flying direct from Dublin, holidays to Corfu offer Venetian fortresses, winding streets, great beaches, and lively nights out, all in just one trip.

Sun, sand and sea

Complemented by the sparkling Ionian Sea, Corfu's shoreline is famous for its picturesque golden sands and seaside cocktail bars. And with beaches as big as Halikounas and Kalamaki, you can always find your own spot on the dunes. This, alongside the waterfront’s traditional Greek cuisine and family-style restaurants, gives Corfu's beaches a particularly welcoming atmosphere.

Old meets new

Ancient Greece was once the hub of Western culture, and so its historical sites are especially interesting. Corfu’s Old Town has earned UNESCO’s approval. The narrow, maze-like streets and ancient castles embody Greece’s world-famous past. For a more contemporary trip, visit Sidari or Roda. Here, local bars and cafés have catered to tourists for decades. And for a true party-island experience, the clubs and cocktail bars lining the streets of Kavos are renowned for their energetic nightlife.

Rural getaway

Corfu is not all about cobbled streets and party hotspots. It's affectionately referred to as the “Emerald Isle”. Corfu's green orchards, cypress trees and wild fauna embody a more traditional side to Greece away from its famous shoreline. In fact, Corfu’s mountains are as impressive as its beaches. The quieter resorts of Gouvia and San Stefanos offer a more rustic escape to the island’s green hills and secret coves.
