A jewel in the Ionian Sea

Corfu is the second largest Ionian island in Greece. It lies southeast of the Italian "boot heel".
Corfu is also called the "green island" because of its beautiful vegetation due to the Mediterranean climate.
The island is about 62 km long and 28 km wide. You can discover the island wonderfully by car.

In the north-east of Corfu, at Kerasia, you are only two nautical miles from the Albanian coast.

Corfu impresses with its natural and cultural diversity.
Centuries-old olive groves, long sandy beaches, magnificent cliffs in the west, old mountain villages and remote monasteries give the island its beauty.

Kerkyra City

The lively town known as Kerkyra is one of the most beautiful island towns in Greece. The old town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.
There are many churches and museums worth seeing.
Kerkyra is known for its historical architecture, which was influenced by different cultures, such as the Venetians, the British and the French.
In the streets and the winding alleys you can observe this time travel. Here you can still recognise the style of the many French cafés and the two Venetian fortresses.
Culture, landscape and history combine in all directions. From the roofs of the city, you can look out into the picturesque hinterland.

The North

In the north of the island is the highest mountain, the Pantokrator, which with its 900 m clearly stands out from the landscape.
The view extends far into the Greek mainland and is unique.
You will be rewarded with many breathtaking sights in the northwest of the island. Discover the huge white cliffs here, which are easy to climb in terraces.
The Canal d'Amour with its caves and tunnels, which you can discover by jumping into the turquoise blue water, or the impressive Cape Drastis.

The West

Corfu's highlights are the diverse landscapes with their lush vegetation.
The west coast impresses with its cliffs and beautiful viewpoints with olives and cypresses on the mountain slopes.
There are numerous coves and grottos nestled between the cliffs. A great place for seaside activities.
A popular bathing paradise for tourists and yet the few houses blend naturally into the scenery.

The East

The east coast is very attractive for families with small children. South of Corfu Town, you will pass beautiful beaches on the east coast of the island. Long, gently sloping pebble beaches stretch from Moraitika to the small harbour of the village on the Messonghi River. Here you will find a wide range of water sports and tavernas right on the beach.
This side of the island is well protected directly opposite the mainland.

The South

With an endless variety of beaches, nestled in dunes, the southernmost part of the island is also convincing.
Kilometres of golden sandy beaches and crystal clear water lead all the way to Lake Korrission.
For nature lovers, a must.
The lagoon is a national nature reserve where you can often see flamingos.

Only a few steps separate Lake Korrission from the turquoise sea at Halikouna Beach. Carefree and full of bathing fun, you can enjoy the peace and quiet here with your family.
