The Ionian isle of Corfu was one of the first Greek islands to tap into tourism. As a result, you may have to travel further to find unspoilt stretches of beach. Mountainous and green inland, rocky and spectacular to the north and west, Corfu has more than its fair share of beauty spots. This was where Odysseus found shelter in Homer’s epic tale. Where Empress Elizabeth of Austria built a folly in honour of Achilles. You’ll find old fashioned harbours festooned with fishing boats and dotted with tavernas, idyllic villages like Paleokastritsa (easier to enjoy than to pronounce) soaking up magical sunsets, and places open until dawn where you can dance the sand out of your hair.
 
Perhaps the most important part of any Greek holiday is the food and wine... and Corfu's tavernas do not disappoint. Corfiot food these days is fresh and exciting with the focus on high quality and affordable prices. It's certainly more expensive than the pre European Union days of the drachma, but Corfu still offers excellent value for money as a holiday destination. So if you are looking for cheap holidays to Greece, Corfu is still an excellent option.
