History
The island's history is everywhere to be seen
You can't help but immerse yourself in the island's history when you stay in a Corfu holiday let. The island was an important trading centre as far back as the time of Ancient Greece, and there are still the ruins of temples – like the religious site of the Temple of Artemis – and millennia-old towns dotting its coastal shores. During the Roman occupation of Greece, the island was given autonomy in return for the use of its port. The Romans also helped build an infrastructure of roads that linked the towns and public buildings. Later, Christianity was brought to its shores and churches were erected. Over the centuries, the island was regularly attacked by warring tribes and pirates, so many of the buildings, particularly along the coast, are fortified – The Turkish, French and British all ruled over Corfu and left their mark on the culture.
Things to do
Attractions aplenty near your Corfu holiday rental
A good introduction is the historic town of Kerkyra, whose winding lanes are teeming with old churches, museums and other architectural gems. Then there’s Paleokastritsa, a 13th-century pastel-coloured monastery that towers up over the beautiful coastline. Alternatively, make a beeline for the Canal D’Amour, an eroded sandstone bay with a sandy beach lapped by crystal-clear turquoise waters. Be sure to bring your mask if you want to catch a glimpse of the abundant marine life.

Fly and flop at your beachfront Corfu holiday let
If you're looking for a fly and flop holiday, you've come to the right place – the beaches in Corfu are some of the best in Greece. Some are sweeping stretches of golden sand, backed by holiday rentals, others are secluded little fishing coves which are well worth the effort to reach. Some are packed with water sports, places where you can learn everything from jet skiing to kitesurfing, others have calm, shallow waters, perfect for family swims. As the day begins to fade away, you can stroll up to the nearest seafront taverna and enjoy a cold beer or a glass of Greek wine while you watch the sunset melt away behind ocean. Bliss.

Those who are looking to do little else but amble from their seafront holiday let to the beach and back can make use of the island's efficient and inexpensive taxis to get to and from the airport.
