Corfu
Enjoy a Greek island cruise to the Ionian paradise of Corfu.
A Greek island cruise to Corfu can be anything you want it to beFor British holidaymakers cruises to Corfu are a perennial favourite. In Corfu, your Greek island cruise really can be anything you want it to be thanks to its fabulous beaches, beautiful interior and, this being Greece, thousands of years of history. Corfu has been written about by so many illustrious writers and poets who were drawn here by the island’s spectacular natural beauty. Ulysses on his own Greek island cruise stopped at Corfu on his return to Ithaca and visitors will still sense the ancient atmosphere of this unspoiled island, as though one could magically step back in time at any moment.
Add an element of adventure to your vacation and opt for a safari jeep expedition, admiring the pretty local villages. As the author Gerald Durrell wrote; ‘Gradually the magic of the island settled over us as gently and clingingly as pollen’… we believe that you will be equally enchanted by your Greek island cruise to Corfu. |
