Corfu Holidays

Corfu has a fascinating history shaped by Venetian, French and British influences, giving the island a character unlike anywhere else in Greece. Its UNESCO-listed Old Town is filled with elegant architecture, colourful squares and impressive fortresses that reflect centuries of cultural heritage.

Away from Corfu Town, you'll discover traditional villages where local customs remain part of everyday life. Historic monasteries, charming churches and welcoming tavernas provide plenty of opportunities to experience the island's authentic culture while exploring beyond the coastline.

Corfu enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate with long, sunny summers and mild spring and autumn months, making it an excellent destination for holidays throughout much of the year. Summer temperatures regularly reach the high 20s and low 30s°C, providing ideal conditions for beach days, boat trips and al fresco dining.

Thanks to its lush landscape, Corfu is greener than many other Greek islands, with olive groves, cypress trees and rolling hills adding to its natural beauty. Spring and autumn are particularly popular with visitors looking to combine sightseeing with pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds.

Corfu's cuisine blends traditional Greek flavours with strong Venetian influences, creating a unique dining experience. Fresh seafood, locally produced olive oil, seasonal vegetables and aromatic herbs feature heavily on menus across the island, while traditional dishes are often passed down through generations.

Whether you're enjoying grilled fish at a waterfront taverna, sampling local specialities in Corfu Town or relaxing with a drink overlooking the Ionian Sea, every meal reflects the island's warm hospitality. Many all inclusive hotels also offer an excellent choice of international dishes alongside authentic Greek favourites.
