CORFU, GREECE
With its beguiling landscape of vibrant wildflowers and slender cypress trees rising out of shimmering olive groves, Corfu is considered by many as Greece's most beautiful island (Lonely Planet guide to
Corfu & the Ionians, 2002).
This Greek island is the perfect combination of European flare and tranquil sea-side living! We spend the first week in Corfu Town staying at the sea-front HOTEL CAVALIERI, formerly a 17th Century nobleman's
mansion. Picturesque cobblestone alleyways are interspersed by statues, beautifully decorated churches, Venetian fountains and a great selection of tavernas where we'll be having dinner each evening. The
streets wind and wander with no discernible order or object and there are boutiques and shops around every corner. Our second week will be in the quiet beach community of Paleokastritsa. The HOTEL ODYSSEUS
is set above one of Paleo's six enchanting bays and all rooms have beautiful sea-views. The hotel is just steps away from the beach and also has its own swimming pool (ideal for after the hikes!). Corfu is
an ideal destination for hikers, especially in the spring when the island is carpeted with flowers. We shall hike to the heavens to visit holy monasteries, trek in shade of ancient olive groves and weave our
way in and out of its many coves. And we promise - you will never tire of the deep, deep blue of the sea that surrounds you. Opa!
