explore corfu: just a taste of what to expect upon your arrival
Corfiots have a long history of hospitality to foreign residents and visitors. Is typified in the 20th-century childhood reminiscence “My Family and Other Animals” by Gerald Durrell. If you have the chance to visit and explore Corfu then you will fall in love forever with this fascinating island!
Explore north Corfu
The northern part of Corfu is the most dramatically diverse part of the island. If you drive north out of the Town and along the coast road you will falsely assume that it was going to be nothing but a long string of similar-looking holiday resorts. Bronzing bodies on one side and disco trips on the other. No indication of this!
A few kilometers away a real paradise unfolds in front of you. A wonderful combination of the horizon and natural colours. Kassiopi, Sidari, Canal d’ Amour, and Agios Stefanos are some enchanting areas to enjoy.
The Northeast Coast has been heavily developed by some British travel companies, with expensive holiday villas. These vacation packages are available on the north, east, and southwest coasts.
Today the middle class (mainly from the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and Germany) visit this part of Corfu widely. But with the creation of cheap vacation packages, Corfu has become one of the top destinations for mass tourism. However, it is still popular with the extremely rich. In the northeast of the island, homeowners include members of the Rothschild family and Russian oligarchs
Explore central Corfu
A few kilometres south of Corfu Town is Achillion Palace which after Corfu Town is one of the most remarkable sights on the island. The holiday home of Empress Sisi of Austria is located in the historical village of Gastouri. The beautifully manicured gardens with the fabulous views over Corfu Town and the sea make this place one to remember. Especially for the fans of James Bond. Several scenes of ”For Your Eyes Only” were filmed here.
The central area has several small unspoiled places but also big traditional villages. Furthermore, there are many tourist seaside resorts and beaches. Both on the East and on the West coast of the island. Picturesque resorts like Benitses, Messonghi, and Moraitika welcome many visitors every year. Generously offer their hospitality without losing their traditional character. Unique beaches are hidden in verdant landscapes. Kontogyalos, Gyaliskari, the nudist beach of Myrtiotissa, the beach of Ermones, Agios Gordios, and Glyfada, the island’s most cosmopolitan beach are some of them.
Explore south Corfu
Do not miss the chance to explore this part of the island. It will amazingly surprise you. In the south part of the island, you will find many picturesque places like Boukari, and Petriti. Amazing sandy beaches like Prasoudi, Marathias, Issos, Chalikounas, and Lake Korission. Issos is an unspoiled endless seashore with sand dunes and crystalline waters. The rich flora divides the shore from the most important wetland of Corfu, the Korission Lake. The lake is a magnificent natural reserve that provides shelter for the birds which migrate south.
