Corfu

With the long rows of white houses, it’s easy to tell that Corfu is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. But its unique location close to the Albanian coast also gives it some unique characteristics: a slightly stifling climate, stunning green landscape, and distinctive Venetian architecture.

Between the olive trees and flocks of sheep, the Corfiot countryside is nothing short of a haven of peace. With the exception of Mount Pantocrator, the mountains are not very high, offering beautiful views right down to the coastline. With its coves and creeks Palaiokastritsa is one of the most beautiful places on the island.

Built on a hilltop, the monastery is a real gem of beautiful architecture! The traditional fishing settlement in Kassiopi, the citadel of Corfu, and the villages of Nisaki and Kalami- from which you can see the Albanian coastline- are just some of the beautiful sights to visit on the island. What’s more, some of the scenes from Rien que pour vos yeux just so happened to be filmed in Kalami Bay! 

Greek food is known for being healthy, although taste is certainly not sacrificed! Start with a couple of snacks along with Tzatziki and Taramasalata… then get down to business with Souvlaki or Stifado, and if there’s room for dessert, try a galaktoboureko... or Greek yoghurt with honey if you fancy something lighter!
