Corfu offers everything you'd expect from Greece and more: from sparkling blue seas to its golden beaches, isolated coves, sleepy villages, lively resorts, outgoing people, and sweeping garden-like landscape. Amidst the towns' winding alleys, scent of citrus groves and silvery olive trees, you'll find welcoming tavernas and bars plus forested mountains sloping down to intimate sand and pebble bays. Topping it all are the stunning cliffs and coves of Paleokastritsa and the cool, scented slopes of towering Mount Pandokrator. Holidays to Corfu can be almost anything you want them to be. From the quaint fishing village that is Kassiopi to the non-stop resort life of Sidari.
You'll find a dramatic and beautiful island that's full of contrasts. It all helps to explain why holidays to Corfu are so popular. CHC has cheap holidays to Corfu in named accommodation as well as our Hot Offer holidays that offer even lower prices for the ultimate bargain holidays to Corfu.

A wide selection of beaches can be found on Corfu island. From sandy beaches on the west coast, whilst on the east coast there is more shingle which keeps the sand at bay. The beach at Glyfada is reputed as the best on the island and a trip to Sidari's famous Canal d'Amour area with a couple of sandy coves is a must. Acharavi and Roda offer sandy beaches, ideal for families.
Walking in Corfu is delightful, so make sure you enjoy some of its stunning, unspoilt countryside on foot. A huge variety of landscapes awaits: hillsides awash with wild flowers and tall cypress seas, craggy cliffs lapped by azure seas, wizened olive groves and in the centre, Mount Pandokrator, Corfu's highest point. You can take the trail to the summit to experience the wonderful panoramic views and maybe even spot the orchids that bloom here in early summer. You'll also find little cobblestoned tracks linking many of the older villages, and if you're a keen walker, following the signposted Corfu Trail, which spans the island from north to south, will take you through the island's finest scenery.

Locally made goods are very reasonably priced and available in most resorts as well as Corfu Town. They often make unusual gifts and range from olive wood statues, to lace and leather goods. Gold and pottery make good buys, as does the locally produced Kumquat liqueur. Head for Corfu Town for the widest selection of shopping. Along with many of the Greek islands, the best way to appreciate the great variety of Greek specialities is by ordering a meze which will consist of small local plates of dips as well as local fish and meat dishes for the whole family to enjoy. Taverna and restaurants offer a wide varierty of local and international cuisine. Many resorts on the island offer a good selection of bars and night-life, however if you're looking to be completely spoilt for choice then Sidari in the north or Kavos in the south are the places to head for, for all night throbbing night-life.
