Holiday homes on Corfu
Corfu (sometimes also written as Korfu) is a stunning island just off the coast of
Greece. With its many trees and forests, Corfu, together with
Lefkas, might well be the greenest island in the region. The island provides many great opportunities for
walking and
cycling, but the best way to explore Corfu is with a hire car or on a scooter. The splendid beaches and the blue sea, the picturesque villages and the friendly population, the delicious food and the glittering sun – quite simply, Corfu is a fantastic holiday destination whatever your age. From
group accommodation to a luxury villa with
private pool, with Micazu, you always book directly with the owner, in your own language and at great rates.
The perfect mix of culture and the beach
Corfu town (Kerkyra) is straight away one of the island’s highlights. The fortresses, churches, museums and houses – everything exudes the authentic atmosphere of the Greek islands. An unmissable part of your visit is Achilleion, the famous palace of Empress Sissi (from the eponymous movies), the Empress of
Austria and
Hungary. Don’t forget to make your way to Paleokastritsa, a beautiful old resort with splendid bays and views of an impressive monastery. And of course, Corfu is also a real holiday island full of the delights of
sun, sea and sand. The loveliest beaches are never far away and the clear waters are great for
snorkelling. Finish your day in one of Corfu’s quaint restaurants where you can enjoy the authentic Greek cuisine.
Micazu will always have a holiday home to suit you for a last-minute break in the Greek islands! Don’t delay and browse our range of private holiday homes on Corfu.
