 Corfu may have been the first Greek island to attract package tourists, but there are still unspoilt villages and beaches to be found, and this delightful island remains popular with independent travellers and package tourists alike. In fact, no other Greek island attracts more British holidaymakers. History lovers will be fascinated by the ancient sites dotted around the island, and the place is steeped in Greek mythology. You’ll find every kind of landscape here – farmland and green countryside, rugged mountain scenery and jaw-droppingly gorgeous beaches. The most popular are the stretches of sand around Corfu Town, the island’s capital and a destination in itself with its narrow, cobbled streets. Greeks are famously friendly, but, even by their standards, the welcome that awaits you on Corfu is a warm one.
