You can even jump on horseback for a trek around the wild and rugged countryside with an experienced instructor – an ideal way to enjoy your summer holiday and the surrounding scenery. Bird watching, cycling, paragliding and water skiing are also all available to try on this Greek island in Greece.
The beaches in Corfu are both pebbly and sandy, and many slope gently into the sea. Its secluded coves and clear blue waters have made the island a particular villa holiday favourite. A wide variety of beaches curve around the Corfu coastline, most equipped with waterside tavernas, beachside shops, and pedaloes and sun loungers for hire. There are some lovely bays and dramatic cliffs that attract walkers, cyclists and bird-watchers. Sports fanatics will also enjoy the varied watersports available at the main summer holiday resort beaches.

An island immersed in legendary Greek history, Corfu’s ancient sites have survived through the centuries to remain standing today. Corfu Town is a maze of narrow stone-paved streets dominated by two stunning Venetian castles – the Old and New Fortresses. Other architectural attractions on this Greek Island include well-preserved palaces – one famously home to the Greek Royal Family. Monasteries, chapels and old Roman ruins are dotted around the Corfu countryside, while mosaics, sculptures and frescoes have been carefully retained in their original domains for public viewing. Rich in Mediterranean flavours, traditional Corfu cuisine consists of local ingredients grown or found on this Greek Island. In particular, olives, lemons, tomatoes and freshly caught fish feature strongly in most local dishes. On your Corfu holiday, find a waterfront taverna and dine on the terrace overlooking the sea as homemade Greek dishes are lovingly prepared and served to your table. Why not enjoy the tranquillity of your own private holiday villa, and feast on a long lazy lunch of grilled fish and fluffy fresh bread drizzled with just-pressed olive oil.
