CORFU
Corfu has a character all its own: part Ionian idyll, part grand European escape. Venetian architecture, pastel-hued villages and cypress-covered hills frame an island where long lunches stretch into the afternoon and the sea is never far from view. Beyond the elegant streets of Corfu Town, winding roads lead to secluded beaches, olive groves and old estates tucked among the greenery. There’s a sense of faded glamour to it all — relaxed, quietly sophisticated and unmistakably Mediterranean
