Corfu holidays

Olive groves, Venetian elegance and turquoise coves

Introducing Corfu

The greenest of the Greek islands, Corfu blends cypress-dotted hillsides, a UNESCO-listed old town and a coastline of quiet pebble coves.

Set in the Ionian Sea off Greece's north-west coast, Corfu is lusher than most Greek islands, with centuries-old olive groves and cypress trees running down to the water. Corfu Town's old town, with its Venetian fortresses and elegant arcades, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The north-east coast, around Kassiopi and Kalami, is known for its clear water, small coves and views across to the Albanian mountains. The west coast has bigger sandy beaches and dramatic sunsets over the sea.
