Corfu

An island of old towns, palaces and bays

Corfu is one of the greenest Greek islands, with Venetian lanes, olive groves and a coastline of sandy beaches and rocky coves.

Sinarades sits in the middle of the west coast, so most of the island is an easy drive away. These are the places we recommend.
