Corfu island is one of the most famous holiday destinations in Greece and wolrdwide. Situated north-west of Greece in the Ionian sea, also known as Kerkyra, it's quite different from the typical Greek islands as in Corfu the vegetation is lush, giving the island a green color everywhere you can look. There are more than 2 million olive tress (once the base of the local economy), as well as many other comon and rare vegetation.

Corfu's coast formation differs from the west to the east: the north-east side has pebble beaches and amazing small bays with deep waters while the west is full of golden long sandy beaches with shallow crystal clear sea, giving even to regural visitors an exotic feeling. Corfu island is approximately 90km long from the north to the south and there are everywhere on your way places of interest or small traditional spots and villages who remained unchanged from the mass tourism of the previous decades.

Kerkyra has been a top holiday destination thus here someone can find Corfu studios and hotels for every budget, ferries to Greece and connections to smaller islands near by as well as any other possible tourist activity you can imagine.
