  • Corfu Photo: MDB Images Corfu Is Considered by Many to Be the Most Beautiful of All the Greek Islands
    Corfu Photo: MDB Images Corfu is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all the Greek islands. It is the greenest of the Ionian Islands and probably also the best known. The island offers a beguiling landscape of wild flowers, cypress trees, olive trees and several seductively sandy beaches. Corfu also has a major vegetable garden which gives the fresh mountain air a pleasant scent. To the south of Corfu town is Moraitika and Messonghi which have beautiful scenery and beaches. However, the west coast of the island is the most attractive as that is the place where you will find some of the prettiest countryside around and it is also here that you will find the small coves with the sandy beaches surrounded by cliffs and trees. The north coast is more typical Greek with a rocky coastline where the crystal clear water has chopped into pebbled bays and coves.

  • Sunny Sailing Holidays in Greece Ayios Stefanos Arillas Corfu
    Culinaire route Corfu (1 week) Saturday Arrival Nidri Nidri is the home of Sunny Sailing. The view of the water is magnificent. The jetty lies in front of the Armonia hotel where one can make use of the many facilities that the hotel has to offer. Nidri itself has a lively village with a pleasant boulevard. Sunday Nidri - Lefkas Stad The Lefkas Marina is within walking distance of the lively center, where there are many shops and terraces. Although it is a small town, there is a lot to see and do here. There is the fortress of Agia Mavra, there are historic churches, a beautiful lagoon, beautiful squares and colorful narrow alleys. We start our culinary route here at restaurant Ef Zheen. Monday Lefkas Stad - Parga Near the harbor stretches the town itself, which looks like a beautiful white village with red roofs unaffected by the course of time. The character of the town is lively and you can stroll through the many streets with shops and in the evening enjoy the sunset between the castle and the island of Panagia. Here our culinary route takes us to restaurant Castello. The food is prepared with love and everything on the table, from vegetables to the (house) wine is made and comes from our own garden. Tuesday Parga - Corfu Stad There is a small club in Corfu town. It is under the fort that can of course be visited. In this small harbor there is a lovely restaurant with a bar on the water, where local dishes are given a modern twist.
