Discover good food, fine wine, breathtaking views, warm and clear seas and long lazy meals in Tavernas by the sea. An island of incredible contrast, blanketed in sliver-green olive trees, regularly punctuated by elegant cypresses, it is one of the greenest of the Mediterranean islands and in spring, perhaps the most perfumed, with the heady aroma of wild flowers mingling with the spicy scents of wild sage, thyme and oregano.

Here you will find pretty bays in Greece, spectacular vistas and stunning sunsets. the coastline is a succession of sweeping bays with incredible mountain backdrops and, between the bays, deep crystal clear waters. The north-eastern coast, where Mount Pantokrator seems to tumble straight into the sea is much more sheltered from the elements, yet you'll discover a spectacular coastline with breathtaking views around every headland.

Corfu is the most northerly of the Ionian Islands and is 35 miles long and approximately 15 miles wide. At the northern center, is 'Mount Pantocrator' with a height of just over 1000 meters. The NE coast is made up of secluded bays, pretty fishing villages, gently shelving beaches and sparkling clear waters. The dramatic west coast, with its high cliffs and long sweeping sandy beaches, is a complete contrast.

You will discover that a Greek holiday is all about eating! Meals are to be lingered over, try a selection of starters (mezzay), main courses of fresh locally caught fish and tender meats, organically grown salads garnished with herbs and home-pressed olive oil. Greek wines are also well worth trying. As well as the traditional 'village wines' there has been real progress in Greek wine production and superb choices are available.
