    Corfu town is just around the corner

This beautiful fortified city is a huge attraction for people of all walks of life. For some, the fort and castle is the main draw. For others, it’s the upmarket commercial centre.

    If you make it to the capital, you mustn’t miss the vibrant market streets which wind endlessly around Corfu Town. Here is where you’ll find all the souvenir shops you could hope for selling locally bottled Tsipouro, olive-oil, leather sandals, satchels and Tavli boards, or backgammon as we call it.

    And the sunset

    After a long day out sampling the spoils of Corfu, there are few better ways to spend the evening than in front of the most beautiful sight of them all – the sunset. Corfu is famous in Greece for its unobstructed view of the setting sun, and hundreds of people flock to the western side of the island to watch this spectacle every night. You’ll be lucky enough to have prime position in your own peaceful resort with a drink in hand and dinner in front of you.
