Holidays to Corfu

Introducing Corfu Holidays

Tucked away amidst the shimmering Ionian Sea, a Corfu holiday for 2020 will be chock full of cypress trees, olive groves, dramatic coastlines, and rustic stone buildings; finished with a deep blue sky. Due to its rolling green hills and abundance of olive patches, Corfu has the curious nickname ‘the Emerald Isle’ (which it shares with the island of Ireland, our neighbours will be tickled to discover). But what really gives this idyllic island an air of mystery is not just its spellbinding scenery or laid back way of life, but its intricate roots with classical Greece. For millennia, Corfu has been famed for its culture, art and education; qualities which can still be seen today in both the ancient architecture and sophisticated lifestyles of the locals. Like many other islands in the Mediterranean and elsewhere, watersports, sailing and other seaside activities are among some of the top pastimes in Corfu. A veritable paradise island, Corfu has its very own sea school offering sailing lessons for all skill levels and motorboats for hire, should you fancy a day trip out on the gentle waves or open sea. Also available are cruises around the neighbouring islands and beyond the dramatic cliffs and coves of the coastline are also popular daytime excursions during down time. If topping up your tan is imperative on this trip, Corfu also has around 57 glittering beaches to relax on when you want to get back on dry land.
