Corfu holiday villas Holiday rentals - villas & holiday homes to rent in Corfu
Corfu, also known as Kerkyra, is the most northern of the Ionian islands and sits 63kms of the mainland. Corfu is easily accessible by air or by boat with ferries from Igoumenitsa on the mainland taking around 90 minutes. Corfu is one of the most popular summer destinations in Greece and is known for its stunning landscapes, white silky sand beachs, warm turquoise waters and wild nightlife. The capital city of Corfu Town is the heart beat of the island where the nightlife runs from dusk til dawn.
However, Corfu has far more to offer than its ledgendary nightlife with plenty of family resorts, history and culture as you would expect. Not to be missed is the UNESCO Corfu Old Town with its cobblestone streets, pastel-colored Venetian architecture and lovely Spianada Square. And, if you you walking, Corfu is a labyrinth of hiking trails especially in the north where you will discover Corfu's peaks.
