Corfu, Greece
Corfu, or Kérkyra, is one of Greece’s most enchanting islands, a place where lush green hills meet crystal-clear Ionian waters. Famous for its Venetian elegance, golden beaches, and rich cultural heritage, Corfu blends Mediterranean beauty with European charm like nowhere else.
Centuries of Venetian, French, and British influence have shaped Corfu’s unique character. Its capital, Corfu Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a maze of cobbled lanes, pastel mansions, and lively squares, crowned by grand fortresses and shaded by elegant arcades.
Corfiot cuisine is a celebration of flavour — a delicious blend of Greek tradition and Italian inspiration. Signature dishes like pastitsada, sofrito, and bourdeto pair perfectly with local wines and the island’s signature kumquat liqueur.
Corfu is more than a destination, it’s a feeling. Whether you’re wandering through sunlit olive groves, listening to a local band in a shaded square, or watching the sunset from a clifftop taverna, the island captures the perfect balance of relaxation, culture, and natural beauty.
