Renting a car or hiring a boat, both of which we can arrange, are ways to enjoy the spectacular scenery of Corfu. Stop in a mountain village and sample the delicacies at the local taverna; gaze at the magnificent scenery. Moor at a deserted beach for a picnic or tie up at a landing stage-for a meal at a waterside taverna. Follow in the footsteps of the Durrell family (and other animals!).
Corfu Town, too, has many attractions with a wide variety of shops, restaurants, cafes. Wander through the ancient streets; climb the massive fortifications; marvel at the ornate churches; admire the picturesque buildings.
Take a day-trip to mainland Greece or Albania or to the beautiful nearby island of Paxos.
Corfu has something to offer for everybody.
However there are only three burger-bars in Town and not many anywhere else on the island. The numerous cafes, restaurants and tavernas take pride in preparing and cooking their food on the premises. Corfiots are justifiably proud of their catering skills and only organic ingredients are used; genetically modified junk has no place here.
Even in the smallest taverna in a little mountain village a hungry tourist arriving unexpectedly will find that thick slices of crusty locally baked bread with a Greek salad of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onions, olives, chives and herbs, topped with chunks of feta cheese and slices of salami, washed down with the local vintage, will amply satisfy his needs.
There is virtually no crime on the island. The oldest and the youngest can wander around in complete safety day or night.
