All Inclusive Corfu Holidays

Corfu holidays deliver sandy beaches by the bucketload, pinch-yourself landscapes, and a capital that’s packed to the rafters with sightseeing fodder.

Sand and scenery

Corfu’s a bit of a Jack-of-all-trades on the holiday front. It’s no slouch in the beach department, with plenty of sand and pebble sweeps cosied up to the Ionian Sea. Pretty olive groves and cypress trees take over as you follow your feet inland, and you’re never far from an historic dot on the radar. Corfu Town and Kavos, meanwhile, take on the mantle when it comes to lively nights.

UNESCO-ranked

Corfu Town’s the sort of place you can visit again and again without feeling like you’ve seen everything. The old town’s earned its UNESCO stripes thanks to its castles and warren of interwoven lanes. The Old Venetian fortress takes pride of place on a peninsula overlooking the city, with the New Venetian Fortress in eyeshot above the rooftops. And once you start exploring the maze of narrow streets, it’s easy to lose hours among the every-flavour shops and cafés.

Old and new island

Tradition keeps a firm grip on Corfu, even when the island plays host to droves of holidaymakers in July and August. There’s no mistaking its identity as a Greek island – the cuisine has plenty to answer for on that front, along with the personal touch that its hotels and tavernas pride themselves on. Family-friendly towns like Sidari and Gouvia have broken rank and adopted a handful of modern features, but you can still count on Corfu showing its roots.

Aghios Georgios North

Aghios Georgios North is one of Corfu’s sleepier customers. The village sits on the west coast, with plenty of elbow room. Its standout feature’s a huge scoop of sand, which counts itself among the best sunbathing territory on the island. And unlike Europe’s busier beaches, this stretch shies away from the spotlight. Tree-brushed headlands form a C-shaped barrier against the Ionian Sea, and the waterfront’s backed by traditional villas and cosy tavernas.

Aghios Gordios

Agios Gordios has gone for gold in the looks department – it’s sandwiched neatly between two lofty hills, and is considered by some to be the prettiest town on the island. But this isn’t an all-icing-no-cake deal. The main street running through the centre’s lined with local eateries and watering holes, and there’s no shortage of nightlife. It also comes with the superstar stamp of approval – Queen frontman Freddie Mercury picked this spot as his holiday go-to more than once.

Aghios Ioannis (Corfu)

Aghios Ioannis is a pocket-sized place with the laidback vibes to match, plonked right in the centre of Corfu. It's best-known for Agiotfest. This rock, soul and folk festival is staged in an olive grove, and families flock to listen to the chilled-out tunes. If you’re after a beach, you’ve got plenty of options, too. Cocktail-mixing beach bars and watersports are doled out at Blue Flag-waving Glyfada Beach, which is a 20-minute drive away. Or, sand-smothered Kontogialos Beach is 15 minutes away by car.
