The gorgeous Greek island of Corfu shares its nickname ‘the emerald isle’ with Ireland. Enveloped with lush green forests and olive groves, Corfu holidays attract travellers for its fantastic sunny weather and inviting beaches. Add to that pretty coves, sleepy villages, delicous cuisine and pastel-coloured cobbled towns and you have an idyllic short haul holiday destination.

Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
The airport is located 3km south of the island’s centre so, although car hire is available and there are plenty of options for taxi, bus or shuttle bus transfer, the journey time will depend on your resort’s location. Most resorts are easy to get around on foot, but many tourists hire a car so they can explore this large island. There’s also a good bus service and taxis are widely available.
Corfu Town
Historic Corfu Town is a lovely place to spend a day. Visit the magnificent Old Fortress then explore the squares and cobbled streets lined with Venetian mansions, museums, speciality shops and cafes. Some of the island’s best restaurants can be found here, and it’s also a great place to find a boat trip.
Nightlife
Kavos is the place to head to if your holiday is all about clubbing and beach parties! But if you like your nightlife lively but not completely full on, the resort of Kassiopi on the north eastern tip is a good bet for its lovely pebbly beaches and buzzing nightlife. Or try Sidari, which also boasts a good balance of beach and bars.
Visit Paleokastritsa
The beach resort of Paleokastritsa is also home to a 13th century monastery and its beautiful courtyard is framed by bougainvillea blossom. The water is warm and clear, ideal for swimming, and there are all the normal tourist attractions. Grab a seat at a waterfront beach bar and enjoy the views of the surrounding rugged cliffs and olive groves.
Explore Mouse Island
Just south of Corfu lies the “green rock” - the small island of Pontikonisi which is locally known as Mouse Island. Home to a Byzantine chapel, this scenic spot is supposed to be the petrified remains of an ancient Phaeacian ship. It gets its name from the white stone staircase of its monastery, which resembles a mouse’s tail.
