Corfu

Green hills, Venetian streets, turquoise coves, and a Greek island that feels completely different from the Cyclades.

Corfu feels distinctly different from the Cyclades, with green hills, Venetian streets, turquoise coves, traditional villages, and a coastline made for exploring beyond one resort. These guides focus on practical island itineraries, beaches, Corfu Town, transport, driving, and how to balance the island’s best-known highlights with quieter places that are worth making time for.
