Beach and Cultural Adventures in Corfu

Corfu provides the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration.

From vast expanses of golden sand to small pebbled coves naturally shaded by pines and cypress trees, and from organised beaches with tavernas and waterfront bars to those where you can watch the sunrise in solitude, there is a spot of Ionian coastline to suit all. Not to be missed is the 3km Halikounas beach, set next to Lake Korission, which is a magnet for birdlife.

Another favourite for the Sunvil team and our guests is Aghios Gordis on Corfu's west coast. Stay at one of our handpicked cottages a stone's throw from the 1km beach - from where some of the best sunsets on the islands can be enjoyed. This is the perfect spot for a Corfu beach holiday.

Head inland to discover the island's rich culture. Here you'll find wonderful atmospheric villages such as Old Perithia, where time has seemingly stood still, and artisans and galleries galore - the island's olive wood artefacts are worthy of note. The views as you wind along the mountain roads will take your breath away, and there is nothing better than taking a short stop at a traditional kafenion where you will receive a warm welcome alongside the locals. Read our blog about the Top Things to See and Do on Corfu for further inspiration.
