Corfu lies to the west of mainland Greece, remains the most popular Greek island for the British tourist to visit, and they arrive in huge numbers every year lured by the cheap package deals, fantastic beaches, lively nightlife and the shortest flight time from the UK (3 hours nearly). Families find Corfu especially appealing, with many safe beaches and resorts full of hotels and complexes with plenty of convenient facilities. Corfu has a reputation for mass-market tourism, but there is another side to the island just waiting to be discovered - romantic villages, picturesque deserted bays and beautiful green mountainous countryside.
Holidays in Corfu definitely revolve around the beach, but for those looking for a little more than relaxing in the sun, there are plenty of activities to try. Corfu offers every water sport imaginable, with the most popular being banana-boat rides, jet-skis, water-skiing, windsurfing, kite surfing, sailing and scuba-diving. Away from the beach the island offers golf, horse-riding and mountain biking. A good family day out is Aqua land, the second largest water park in Europe, reasonably priced and offering plenty of slides and activities. The capital of Corfu, Corfu Town, with its' Colonial atmosphere, Venetian buildings, double forts and bustling public square is definitely worth a visit whilst holidaying in Corfu.
