Your gateway to pleasure and paradise.

If there was ever an island that lived up to the cliche ‘a land of contrasts’, it had to be Corfu.

Set in the sparkling turquoise-blue Ionian sea, Corfu’s tree clad mountains rise to over 3000 feet.

Gerald Durrell fell in love with the island and the friendly Corfiote people - there is a good chance you will too.

You’ll find trendy resorts, hamburger bars, cafes and discos, and then only a few miles away, deserted sandy coves or secluded wooded valleys.

To keep it in perspective, there are still reputed to be 17 million olive trees, to say nothing of the vast orange groves, cypresses, vines, bougainvillea and everything else that grows in profusion on this green and fertile island.
