Fresh, green and mountainous, Corfu is Greece's longest-standing tourist destination. Much of the island's terrain remains unspoiled and in just a few minutes you can find yourself off the beaten track, stumbling across remote farmhouses and little restaurants serving steaming plates of moussaka. From ancient ruins and untouched nature, to a thriving beach scene and a smattering of pretty towns such as St Stephano and Kassiopi to potter about in, there is lots to see and do. The coast is where most of the action is, a veritable playground of swimming, boat trips, diving, snorkelling and water sports.
Shop
At Ecological Products Kiosk (opposite Aqualand), the proprietor sells organic fruit and vegetables grown on his nearby farm. Get your five a day and help to support a local business.
You can pick up emails from San Stefanos on a free WiFi network. While you are online, go to www.corfunet.com for a five-day weather forecast.
Glyfada, on the central west coast, is Corfu's hottest beach to see and be seen. Expect hordes of stunning young Greeks and Italians.
Day trip
Aqualand. With lots of fun slides and rides Aqualand, near Agios Ionnis, is billed as 'Europe's most amazing water park' and boasts the world's third-largest wave pool. What's more after 3pm, entry is cheaper and you still get four hours of water-based fun for all the family.
