Homer described Corfu as a 'beautiful and rich land' and few would argue. Colourful villages melt into musky olive groves and church bells echo through the verdant, pine-clad mountains of the inland while on the coast, golden beaches lead to sparkling, warm seas. Corfu is known as the Ionian 'emerald isle', a name inspired by green fields and the explosion of springtime colour. Meadows, decorated with wild flowers, tumble inland towards Mount Pantokrator, the island's highest peak. In among nature's bounty you'll find villages and towns bearing the hallmark of the island's Hellenic, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian past. A truly enchanting destination.
