Situated just off Greece’s northwest coast in the Ionian Sea, the cosmopolitan island of Corfu is among the most beautiful of all the Greek islands. It is most famous for its emerald mountains, sun-baked olive groves, and crystal-clear waters lapping the rugged coastline. Visitors can explore the maze of narrow cobblestoned lanes in the Venetian old quarter of Corfu Town; discover the picturesque cottages covered in wisteria, bougainvillaea, jacaranda and roses scattered around the island; and enjoy the many delightful beaches. Don’t miss the opportunity to trace the steps of the famous author, Gerald Durrell, who spent a few years of his childhood exploring the beauty and wildlife of this enchanting island in his widely acclaimed book: My Family and Other Animals.
