Island
Why Holiday in Corfu?
Corfu is one of the more popular Greek holiday islands and is well served by charter and budget airlines. This beautiful, lush green Greek island comes as an unexpected and unforgettable surprise for first time visitors. Avoiding the busier south, SunIsle offer hand-picked properties among the picture postcard fishing harbours of the north-east and sandy bays on the west coast.
Of particular note is Kalami, a small and "un-touristy" resort with plenty of tavernas, small shops and charm. Slightly further up the coast is the swish bay of Agios Stephanos, where boats pull up to the sea-front tavernas and you can swim from the beaches into the sheltered waters.

Kassiopi

The Insider
A real favourite
Our villa holidays to Corfu have always been highly popular. Dangling between the tip of Italy and mainland Greece, the sheer beauty of this lush green crescent comes as an unexpected and unforgettable surprise for first time visitors to the island. Take this and the rich and varied history of the island combined with the legendary friendliness of the locals (the tradition of 'filoxenia' - to show friendliness towards strangers - still holds strong in Corfu today), it's little wonder that Corfu has been such a popular destination with the British for so long.
Avoiding the busier south, SunIsle have handpicked Corfu holiday villas that are 'off the beaten track'. For picture postcard fishing harbours and bays we chose the northeast coast, whilst the west coast offers the best beaches and most dramatic countryside. Book a Corfu villa holiday with SunIsle and enjoy the very best that this wonderful island has to offer.
Corfu Town
For those seeking a touch of culture on their Corfu holidays, there are the Venetian arcades, sophisticated restaurants and cosmopolitan shops of the elegant Corfu Town such as the Liston, an arcaded row of cafes and restaurants, copied from the Rue de Rivoli in Paris. The old town was laid out by the Venetians in the 14th century and features narrow alleys lined with multi-storeyed pastel-coloured buildings with red tiled roofs, creating a scene reminiscent of Italy.
Those wishing to escape from the melee in the town can head for the interior to enjoy some spectacular scenery and greenery. Corfu has, for instance, 43 different kinds of orchids growing wild in the countryside, and there are countless olive groves.
Island visits
Why not take time out on your villa holidays in Corfu to visit the mainland or the neighbouring islands of Paxos and Kefalonia? The beautiful, yet virtually uninhabited, islands to the north of Corfu are also worth exploring.
