The island of Corfu is located just off the West coast of Greece. Corfu enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate along with excellent beaches making it a popular destination for holiday makers. Corfu is very green compared to other Greek islands: hot and dry summers along with winter rain creates lush vegetation which is dominated by over 2 million olive trees. These olive trees on Corfu are the main cultivation, although Corfu's tourism now provides the most income.
Many overlook Corfu thinking that it has become spoiled by tourism. Thankfully, this is not the case. There are many quiet areas where you can enjoy a traditional Greek island holiday; little beaches and coves all to yourself, or a visit into the mountain villages where there is no sign of tourism!
One highlight of your Corfu holiday will be a trip on the evening 'speedboat taxi' to Taverna Agni. The boat collects from the Bays of Saint Stephanos, Kouloura, Kalami, Kaminaki and Nissaki.
Corfu - So Easy to Get To
Another advantage of Corfu is the ease of getting there. There are regular flights from most European cities with flight times less than 3 hours.
With most of Corfu covered in Olive trees, shaded walks, especially along the coast, are a delight. The Agni Travel walking map will help you make the most of your holiday.

Renting a motor boat will give a whole new perspective to your view of Corfu. You won't believe how many quiet bays and coves you will find as you motor along the coast. You could even have a beach all to yourself for the day to sunbathe, picnic and swim - imagining it as your own piece of Paradise. For boats up to 30hp, which is plenty fast enough, no license is required. Corfu Speed Boat Rental
