Corfu

Like many Greek islands, Corfu is the perfect mix of vibrant, action-packed resorts never too far from sleepy fishing villages. Escape to the north or the west in beachside settings or feel the buzz of the vibrant east. Either way, Corfu makes for a great beach holiday.

Never a last resort

Corfu town is a rich and vibrant port town with plenty to see and offering plenty of places to visit and stay too. Party central Kavos, or Gouvia, supply the open-air beach bars; not that you'll hear them over on the west coast of the island. The likes of Agios Georgios Pagon offer more tranquil, relaxed beach atmospheres, where you can enjoy a wide range of water sports. What's more, hopping from one part of the island to another is easy thanks to Corfu's regular bus services.
