Corfu Holidays

Corfu is part of the Ionian Islands which lie to the west of mainland Greece; it is full of beautiful beaches and good food along with many special entertainments and festivals, all of which makes it ideal for family holidays.

Since its development for the holiday market the island of Corfu has changed dramatically since the 1960's and much of the coastline is now covered by hotels, discos and pubs. Less than 3 hours flight journey from the UK, Corfu makes a great family getaway for last minute breaks.

Corfu is the perfect destination to book all inclusive holidays and the warm climate sees the summer season begin in May. 

A family breaks destination

Families find Corfu especially appealing because of its safe beaches, lots of special holiday resorts and all inclusive holidays with complexes onsite. Having grown up as a holiday destination that appeals to mass market tourism, Corfu also has romantic villages, deserted bays and picturesque green landscapes in the north of the country.

The beaches in Corfu, many of which are based on the west coast are believed to be some of the best in Greece and more than 30 of them have been awarded a European Blue Flag for safety and cleanliness.

Family holidays are particularly popular in the northern resorts of Acharavi, Agios, Stefanos and Sidari and within the southern resort of Messonghi and the western resort of Agios Gordios. All these resorts offer safe swimming for children which is perfect for family holidays.

If you are looking for an authentic Greek village then the towns of Lefkami and Khlomos are still using donkeys for transportation and nearby are the historic fishing harbours at Boukari and Petriti.

Activities for the whole family

Corfu offers plenty of watersports and away from the beach there is golf, horseriding and mountain biking.

Aqualand makes the perfect family day out and is the second largest water park in the whole of Europe and the largest family attraction on the island which is situated in the centre of Corfu with a huge array of slides, water rides and pools for children and adults of all ages.

Cruises can be taken on the Ionian Sea around Corfu and there are a number of trips to nearby islands, such as AntiPaxos or Paxos.
