Corfu Holidays
Corfu is a real gem, the most northerly of the Ionian islands lying between the heel of Italy and the coast of mainland Greece. The island has lush vegetation, white sandy beaches lapped by crystal clear waters and backed by pine trees, cypresses and olive groves. A place of great beauty made famous by the books of Lawrence and Gerald Durell, particularly 'My Family and Other Animals' which was also made into a Television series.
Corfu is perhaps the best known of the Greek islands, famed for it's lovely sandy beaches and hidden coves, it is by far the prettiest of the Ionian islands and has lush green vegetation even throughout the hottest summer months. This natural beauty combined with excellent accommodation, good restaurants that offer good traditional Greek cooking and the warm welcome of the locals make the island of Corfu one of the most popular destinations for holiday makers heading for Greece.

The island of Corfu has a huge amount to offer, whether you want a beach holiday with plenty of lively bars and night life or a more laid back holiday where you can totally relax and soak up the sun in a peaceful Greek fishing village. There are plenty of activities available, such as waterskiing, windsurfing, horse riding and walking holidays for those who don't want to spend the day soaking up the sun by the pool. The elegance of Corfu Town makes it a top destination for Corfu's visitors, move further north and there are some lovely unspoiled quieter resorts such as Barbati and Arilas. If you like your nights more lively try Kavos in the south of the island.
Featured Villa - Villa Santa Barbara
Owners Overview
Location - Agios Stefanos NE - Sleeps 9
Description:Villa Barbara is most favourably situated for the enjoyment of glorious views - across rolling green coastal hills, over the sea towards the Albanian mountains. Nestled amongst an olive grove coated hillside overlooking Agios Stefanos bay, Villa Barbara provides a spacious, Corfiot style interior whilst enjoying the captivating views of the wonderful and panoramic views out across the Ionian Sea.
It is one of a new generation of villas that has appeared in Corfu in summer 2007. There has been a more cosmopolitan approach to design and as a result such villas no longer follow rigidly traditional Greek ideas on style and equipment. With many bold and innovative features, such as the very individual and rather glamorous bathrooms, and the colourful bedrooms, Villa Barbara has a very comfortable interior, the master bedroom is particularly pretty, and has its own private terrace for quiet moments overlooking the stunning view.It is perhaps the beautifully equipped exterior living areas such as the rattan sofas grouped in a shaded corner near the pool, that make the biggest impression.The amazing outdoor swimming, raised up on its own terrace, is the best indication of the refreshingly modern style of this lovely house. Air-conditioned throughout, with glorious views of the perfect harbour of Agios Stefanos, Villa Barbara is an excellent choice for a thoroughly relaxing holiday.The amenities of St Stephanos and Kassiopi, the superb beaches of Avlaki and Kerasia, are very close, as well as a good selection of restaurants and excellent water sports facilities, such as the highly professional sailing school at Avlaki.

Beaches:
KERASIA BEACH
Until recently one of Corfus well-kept secrets, Kerasia beach is a wonderful long quiet pebbly beach tucked away between Kalami and St Stephanos. Tantalizingly close when viewed from the road it is only accessed via Agios Stephanos or by boat. With one friendly taverna a small tourist kiosk and a few sun loungers it is a favourite with the local people and can get busy at weekends. In the week though it is rarely very busy and is ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
AVLAKI BEACH
One of the most attractive beaches on the North East Coast Avlaki has its borders in the Eremitis nature reserve and has a small lagoon, which is a nature lovers delight. The beach, a long curved stretch of white pebbles shelves into the brilliantly blue and fresh sea and there is almost always a cooling breeze blowing across the wide bay. There is a very good taverna in the middle of the beach and another slightly further along plus sun loungers towards the center, a windsurfing/dingy sailing school and small boat hire jetty.
AGNI BEACH
Agni beach is a narrow stretch of pebbles set in a bay at the bottom of an olive and cypress tree valley. With three traditional beachside tavernas all ready to feed and entertain you. The beautiful scenery makes it a popular stop for boats of all sizes. A short walk around a small headland brings you onto another quiet shingly beach that is excellent for snorkeling.
