Known as one of the elite areas of the island, Kommeno has many fancy hotels and restaurants along the shoreline. Drop in to see a cabaret show or enjoy a delicious cocktail. The villa is also close to the resorts of Dassia and Gouvia, which both have beautiful blue flag beaches. Dassia beach is made up of sand and shingle and has crystalline waters. Gouvia is just seven minutes drive away, with a classy marina and some delicious local food to try. The villa is 9km from Glyfada, a lively beach guarded by tree-covered cliffs. Rent a sunbed from one of the beach bars and take a walk along the supremely soft sand. The adventurous among you can get involved in numerous watersports and even an inflatable assault course. At night, dine in one of the tavernas in the tiny village. A visit to Gastouri is a thoroughly enjoyable trip for visitors to Corfu. The village is also known as Acheillio, after the famous summer palace of Empress Sisi of Austria. Located just 30 minutes away, the palace draws intrigue due to its historical and cultural significance. The palace was built in 1898 by an Italian architect and Greek sculptor with inspiration from Greek mythology. Iconic statues of Zeus, Hera and Achilles himself are dotted around the palace, which is surrounded by dazzling gardens and boasts incredible views of the Ionian Sea. Corfu is the second largest of the Ionian Islands and has strong Venetian influence in the architecture, as well as Byzantine. Literally translated as a pair of peaks, the island has two hills topped with fortresses that once successfully defended the island from the Ottoman Empire. The largest of the hills has a lighthouse with spectacular views over the sea. The Old Town has a myriad of narrow, winding lanes, filled with Venetian and Neoclassical architecture, painted in sunny yellow and orange. Just off Spianada Square, where locals congregate for coffee and socialising, is the Old Fortress on the site of an acropolis atop a rocky peninsula. Visitors can walk up to the highest point for breathtaking views, passing a small chapel and museum along the way. A popular trip from Corfu is to nearby Pontikosini (Mouse Island) where there is a tiny Byzantine monastery surrounded by pine and cypress trees. According to local legend, this is the spot of Ulysses ship after it was turned to stone by the wrath of Poseidon. The island gets its name as its said to be the outline of a mouse when you look at it from above. A day at the beach is what springs to mind when booking a holiday to Corfu - and with so many to choose from, you could try a different beach every day! Canal dAmour is a popular beach in Sidari, the northwest side of the island. This beach has gorgeous sand and turquoise water, but the unique element is the rectangular rock with a gap that you can swim through on a calm day. Its said that couples who swim through together will get married within the year. A spectacular beach on the west side of the island is Agios Spyriodon - you can drive across the island to reach it. Two-tone, crystalline waters make up the bay, and an endless stretch of golden sand makes up the beach. Many of the beaches have pebbles in this area, so this beach is considered one of the best. The monastery of Agia Ekaterini stands proudly nearby, as well as plenty of coffee shops and restaurants. There are plenty of tasty treats to tuck into on Corfu, such as bourdeto, which is rockfish in a tomato sauce with plenty of onions and garlic, and pastralio, with fried aubergine layered with cheese and baked with boiled eggs, pancetta or salami, with a tomato and basil sauce. For the adventurous, try sofrito - veal cooked in a wine sauce with white pepper and garlic and served with rice or mashed potato.
