If you're after a seaside stop away from the crowds, holidays to Alykes Potamos in east Corfu could be just the ticket.
Picture-perfect town
Cosy little Alykes Potamos is a hop-skip from Corfu Town – its much bigger sister. With tightly packed brown roofs and cobbled streets, it's a postcard moment of years past. Some say the town's Medieval aura can make you feel like you've stepped into a time portal.
Corfu culture
Corfu Town's your next-door neighbour, so it's only polite to say hello. Release your inner mermaid at Aqualand, or flex some 007 muscles on a jet-ski. For some local culture that's fun for kids, catch a folk puppet show. Don't forget to wolf down some pastitsada – that's chicken and pasta – from a taverna while you're out.
