Corfu, set in the turquoise Ionian Sea, is often considered the most beautiful of the Greek islands. Wildflowers, cypress and olive trees colour the landscape, complementing pale sandy beaches. The west coast charms with small coves framed by cliffs and trees, while the north reveals a rugged coastline where clear waters carve pebbled bays. Explore ancient ruins, savour delicious Greek cuisine, and enjoy the splendour of this unforgettable island.
