Corfu

Scuba diving centres and waterparks add to the holiday fun on this enchanting island which hangs from the heel of Italy next to the west coast of Greece. Discover Paleokastritsa, one of the most popular bays, and explore the island’s golden sands and quiet coves for secluded bathing. Most hotels have sea views and many offer watersports, including luxury properties next to beautiful protected landscapes, so dive into the wonderfully clear seas. Dhassia features watersports centres while Ayiops Steanos is one of the loveliest bays so take your pick from gentle swims to all-action sailing during your hop to Corfu.

Paxos

Paxos has superb white beaches and turquoise blue sea. Gaios boasts a sandy beach on the southern tip of the island at Mogonissi. Enchanting coves along the east coast are best explored by boat. Go hiking independently or on an organised tour and discover deserted villages, ancient olive groves and spectacular scenery. Or, explore the world on and below the sea with some great watersports. Try your hand at Scuba and snorkelling, self-drive boats, water skiing and other water sports.
