Holiday Homes & Baches in Corfu

There are literally thousands of holiday homes to choose from in Corfu. The most popular resorts are in the east, spreading out from the capital Corfu town, and the south of the island. Choose from both apartments and villas, many of which come with a private or communal swimming pool, spacious patios and balconies with splendid sea views. The north-eastern town of Ipsos has a particularly wide variety of options for small and large groups alike.
