Situated off the northwest coast of Greece; Corfu’s resorts cater for everyone. The island’s 200km of glorious coastline and mixture of sandy and white pebble beaches are what make Corfu holidays so special.

For a party holiday to Corfu, head to Kavos, which attracts crowds of revellers to its late-night bars and clubs. Corfu Town’s strip of discos and buzzing bars is also lively after dark. Quieter evenings with traditional Greek music can be found in Paleokastrita, Glyfada, and Agios Ioannis.
