Corfu at a glance

Exquisite Corfu is said to have been blessed by Mother Nature herself. That’s not hard to believe once you experience the breath-taking beauty of its countryside and stunning beaches.

Lush green mountains fringe wide expanses of lovely beaches, and wherever you go, you can swim in crystal clear waters. So why not see as much of this wonderful island as you can, and sample more than one of its beautiful beaches on one of our all-inclusive Corfu holidays?

The great thing about the Ionian Islands is they really are as perfect as they appear. Corfu is one of the better-known islands and is covered with olive and cypress trees, surrounded by beautiful shores and filled with a warm, welcoming culture. It is an island that demands to be wooed and in return, it’s easy to see why it is so tempting to honeymooners, couples and families who love every aspect of luxury holidays in Corfu. The perfect setting for a tale of Greek myth and legend.

Olympic Holidays’ guests can take life at their own pace, at Corfu family holiday resorts to sophisticated adults-only hotels or simple, traditional properties – because we understand not everyone shares the same idea of a perfect holiday – even if they agree on the island!

All of this, combined with a beautiful climate, ensures guests return year after year to enjoy Corfu’s gorgeous coastline, which is dotted with hidden coves. On sunshine days, soak up the island atmosphere and relax on beaches that fringe the sparkling Ionian, or restless explorers can take a drive through the more mountainous north or visit traditional villages in the south.
