The beautiful island of Corfu forms part of the idyllic set of Ionian Islands – and is renowned as being one of the most picturesque of this set.

Corfu resided in Venetian hands from 1401 to 1797. Thanks to its history, there’s a visionary feast of Venetian architecture to be seen in Corfu, especially in Corfu town. This influence can be seen in the narrow, winding streets of the old town, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. This unique architecture differentiates the island from those around it. You’ll also notice the Venetian influence on day-to-day island life. Local cuisine, for example, contains many Venetian delicacies.

More than 1 million visitors flock to Corfu each year in search of a beach getaway, attracted by the warmer temperatures (which can reach 40 degrees in the height of summer) and the golden sandy beaches. The package holiday is big business in Corfu and you can’t miss the generic beach resorts, with their English pubs and beaches with endless rows of sunbeds. However, if you’re looking for a retreat away from the masses, you’re best to steer well clear of the clubbing centrals Kavos and Corfu town and head North East, to the quieter resorts. The island has a wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets. Click here for hotels in Corfu

The residents of Corfu have a reputation as a hospitable bunch and this, coupled with the islands picture perfect scenery, good weather and unique architecture, makes Corfu a great choice for a summer getaway.
