Venetian architecture, emerald forests, and the gentle turquoise sea of the Ionians.
Corfu is the lush gem of the Ionian Islands, distinct from the drier Cyclades: the island is full of olive groves, cypresses, and pale-coloured Venetian townhouses. Corfu Town's old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Paleokastritsa beach has the Mediterranean's most beautiful limestone outcrops, and crystal-clear coves are perfect for snorkelling.
