Corfu is one of Greece's most popular and mesmerising islands. It offers everything from developed resorts with all the amenities you'll need to secluded beaches and unspoilt countryside. Known as the "Emerald Isle" because of its green fields and abundance of colour in spring, Corfu is an ideal location if you want breathtaking scenery and the chance to explore relatively untouched landscapes.

As well as being a great setting for your holiday, Corfu also has brilliant weather and beaches, along with water sports, nightlife, delicious food and drink, great shopping and lots of culture and history.  

It's a family-friendly island full of charm and natural beauty - a real treat among Greece's Ionian islands.

    Achillion Palace

    Famed for its part in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only, the Achillion Palace was originally built for Empress Elizabeth of Austria in the late 1800s. Its neo-classical style isn't to everyone's taste: Elizabeth herself disliked the palace but stayed due to her love for Corfu. Inside, look out for the magnificent paintings and original furniture, while outside, the green gardens are lined with palm trees and bronze statues, the grounds offering wonderful views of the coastline. Located in southern Corfu, 12 miles south of Corfu Town.
