Corfu, known as the emerald island, has two hundred kilometres of coastline with long golden, sandy, white pebble and shingle beaches. Forty resorts and two hundred villages are scattered amongst ancient olive groves, lush green cypress, orange and lemon trees. Fascinating landscapes in numerous shades of green are fringed by aquamarine blue seas. You will discover a sophisticated cosmopolitan capital, breathtaking panoramic scenery, quaint fishing harbours and elegant marinas, pastel-painted Venetian houses, brilliant whitewashed Byzantine churches and secluded coves. The island is not short of vibrant nightlife either! Lively bars, trendy tavernas, rustic restaurants and fast food diners are plenty and will tempt you to while away the hours. Also on hand are popular watersports and a charming championship golf course if the leisurely pace of life gets too much!
