Hotels: As Corfu is a popular destination, hotels and other lodgings are plentiful on the island. Holidaymakers can expect to pay between €80 and €200 for a mid-priced room, while budget rooms can start from as little as €20. Villas and apartments are also available for rental - perfect for group or family holidays.
Attractions: If you're keen on architecture, Corfu has plenty to keep you enthralled. There are numerous stunning Venetian mansions dating back to the 17th century to cast your eye over, while a number of fortresses provide interest for those who like to imagine how the island was defended from attack during medieval times and beyond. Elsewhere, the Archaeological Museum and the Byzantine Museum offer more in the way of history, while the Museum of Asian Art brings an exotic element to the proceedings.
Shopping: As well as the ubiquitous souvenir shops, Corfu is littered with stores selling traditional local goods such as jewellery, olive wood, needlework and leather items. Ceramics are also common goods, with the Pottery Workshop being one outlet that allows customers to see their pottery being made firsthand.
Excursions: Try taking a tour of the other Ionian Islands - Kefalonia, Paxos, Lefkas, Ithaca, Zakynthos and Kythira. Or why not take advantage of the numerous ferry services available and visit mainland Greece?
Family: The resorts offer plenty of children's activities, but if you want to provide your own entertainment you could take a boat ride around the island or go for walks and explore the lush greenery around the island. Of course, there's always the option of simply reclining on one of the long sandy beaches on the west coast.
Getting Around: Bus services on Corfu are most frequent around the coastal areas, but generally take passengers across the island. Taxis are available, as are ferries and boats if you need to nip along the coast or to a neighbouring island.
