We’ve been visiting Corfu for over 30 years now and it’s a place we really love. We’ve spent many wonderful holidays soaking up the variety of experiences it has to offer. There’s something for everyone - from beautiful beaches to elegant architecture and a thriving nightlife. But the thing we love most about Corfu is that despite the ever-growing tourist market it has retained its natural beauty and charm. Much of the island remains exactly as it was before the tourists came.

Our favourite place on the island is Corfu Town - it’s an absolute must to visit and we love the way it blends the new with the old. It’s the largest town in the Ionian Islands and is built between two Venetian castles. We like to wander around its streets, visiting the thriving mass of shops and businesses set amongst some very distinctive buildings and churches. There are lots of narrow alleyways leading to hidden squares and we particularly enjoy visiting the Esplanade (Spianada Square), which is one of the biggest squares in Europe and the hub of Corfiot life. It’s a wonderful place to grab a table in one of the many café bars and watch the world go by.

The food on the island is in the Greek tradition, with lots of olive oil, onion, garlic and pepper in most recipes, and it is absolutely delicious. We’ve had some wonderful fresh salads here, including the unique roka and glistrida varieties. Make sure you sample them here because you won’t get them anywhere else!
