More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a private, air-conditioned car and the road peels away from Corfu Town toward green hills and the silver sweep of the Ionian Sea. The driver asks your plan; within minutes the island rearranges itself to match your wishes: a neoclassical palace, a hilltop lookout, a quiet bay for a swim.
