About the area

Around a 3 hour flight from the UK takes you to the stunning Greek island of Corfu in the Ionian Sea. Green and leafy, the north of the island has a more relaxed vibe than the south. Traditional villages, such as Arillas, are dotted along the coastline, offering holiday makers a choice of long, sandy bays perfect for sunbathing and water sports, as well as secluded coves that are only accessible by boat or hiking trails. Set to a backdrop of beautiful mountains, olive groves and orange trees, property prices here also tend to be more expensive.
