Homer called it a rich and beautiful land, Lawrence Durrell called it this Emerald Isle. However, you choose to describe Corfu, holidays there will leave you captivated. While Corfu may appear to some to lack the ancient splendour of Crete, last minute Corfu holidays spring plenty of archaic surprises, including; Roman temples, Byzantine monasteries, medieval churches and even a fabulous ruined castle.
