More white sandy beaches, including Glyfada, can be found and there’s plenty of opportunities to take part in water sports like snorkelling, diving and sea kayaking.

For day trips, from Corfu, you can take a boat to Agii Saranda in Albania and wander around the nearby Roman ruins of Butrint or go to Paxos and Antipaxos, two small islands to the south-east. You could also go to the popular resort of Sidari – a quaint fishing village home to coastal sandstone cliffs and a brace of secluded sandy beaches.

Magical
Our stay at Villa Kontokali and Villa Christophoros properties were nothing short of magical. My husband-elect and I chose to get married in Corfu and wanted a place for our family to stay, connect and chill.
The hosts of these properties were gracious, attentive and just all together amazing. Anything we needed was available and if it wasn’t, they assured we got it.
The property and view are so gorgeous that we decided to have our ceremony on the Kontokali property!
We will forever have the memories and love from this family and we are so grateful for an out of this world experience! Book it now!
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
