Corfu
An island unique across the world; a key-shaped green rock in the Ionian ready to unlock your soul. Corfu Town is its capital town – filled with history, memory, creativity and intrigue.
Already adorning the UNESCO World Heritage List, Corfu’s Old Town area is a maze of winding alleys where every corner hides a surprise. Goethe, Oscar Wilde, Lawrence Durrell and Henry Miller didn’t just adore this place, they took inspiration from it and channelled it into their writing.
Picturesque Venetian houses shine in the midsummer sun, standing next to fortresses, castles, clock towers, sculptures and stately buildings. The polyphony of influences grants Corfu a singular charm: Phaecians, Corinthians, Athenians, Romans, Byzantines, Roma, Venetians, Brits, French, Modern Greeks…
The recipe not just for a multicultural town with stunning architecture but one whose people are, to our days, enamoured with music, literature and the arts. Melodies echo in the city’s streets as philharmonic bands parade and buskers flaunt their talents. After all, it was dubbed a bastion of Western civilisation as early as the 1710s, for successfully thwarting the invading Ottomans, who never managed to lay claim to this island.
From Korkyra in Ancient times, the town was renamed Corfu – “the city on the peaks” – in the Middle Ages. Today, it is a vibrant city unquestionably worth exploring, filled with ample opportunity for entertainment and excitement, including museums, restaurants, shops, festivals, monuments and nightlife spots.

Spectacular, newly designed and generates an awesome (relaxing) mood.
Stunning sunrises over the mainland of Greece across from our bedroom, and the serenity of the ancient olive trees in the grounds of the beautifully manicured gardens. Apart from the amazing location, a few steps from the sea, and the timeless modern yet classical architecture of the hotel, it was the warm welcome from the staff that made our holiday outstanding. Perfect if you want to experience both a beach holiday and want to do a lot of sightseeing…Corfu Town is an absolute gem that should not be missed.

"Absolutely perfect!"
The Domes Miramare is an opulent, stylish, adults-only beach resort. It’s sublime location is stunning. It’s situated on the shores of the Ionian Sea, near the pretty hilly village of Moraitika, around 30 minutes south of Corfu Town. Breakfast is served at the Makris Restaurant, which is literally situated on the shore with unspoilt views across the sea towards the Greek mainland. The bar by the pool is position perfectly to take in the views. We stayed here for five nights and plan to return in the near future.
