More Than Just a Beach Holiday! |

Corfu offers far more
than just a beach holiday. Years of culture have honed
the island during the ages. If you are visiting for more
than a week - then it is likely that you will want
to explore. Having advised you to drag yourselves away
from the pool, I had better make it worth your while!
Take your pick from the following:

Town : Kerkyra |

Old Perithia

'Corfu town is Venice and
Naples, a touch of France and more than a dash of
England, apart of course from being Greek' - well worth
a visit: Corfu Town Kerkyra

Mt Pantokrator dominates the
Northern part of the Island and is over 1000 meters high. During the winter
months, it is occasionally 'snow capped'. There are several villages to stop
and see on the way such as Strinilas,
which are well worth a visit: Mount

Perithia is a deserted village. It is located high up, off the main road between
Kassiopi and
Acharavi. It is strange driving in the mountains, coming across this deserted village with a few sheep and a
couple of Tavernas in the middle! Perithia Corfu

The Palace is definitely
a place to take your camera. This beautiful building in
picturesque gardens overlooking the sea and Corfu town
is one of Corfu's top attractions.

It is famous for being the
islands most treasured beauty spot, and becomes busy with day trippers
throughout the season. Luxury yachts sail in to admire the back drop of the
beautiful green hills, while coaches clog up the narrow roads leading into
town!

Greek holiday is complete without a 'Greek night'. I am
