Your Private Corfu Villa, With the Island at Your Feet
Your Private Corfu Villa, With the Island at Your Feet
There’s a calm, relaxed pace to the island that’s really easy to settle into. You might spend one day exploring the hidden beaches, and the next wandering through the historic streets or stopping for lunch in a hillside village. Many of the villas in Corfu are tucked into scenic spots with sweeping seaside views, and having your own space (especially a villa with a private pool or your own private jacuzzi) means you can enjoy it all in complete comfort. A private villa is a great choice for a relaxed family vacation, a large group trip, or even a romantic honeymoon escape, especially if you’re looking for a beachfront villa with plenty of room to unwind.
Corfu is also a great starting point for exploring the Ionian Islands. Kefalonia is around 3–4 hours away by ferry, Lefkada roughly 2–3 hours by car and bridge connection, and Zante about 4–5 hours by ferry and road. Each island has its own unique character, from dramatic cliffs to long sandy beaches and some of the most sought-after stays in all of Greece.

Getting there and around
Direct flights
There are direct flights to Corfu from several UK airports, with airlines like Jet2, TUI, easyJet and British Airways providing regular routes. The flight time is around three hours.
via Athens
You can also travel via Athens, either by a short domestic flight or by ferry, although flying is usually the quicker option. Ferries also connect Corfu to mainland Greece and the nearby Ionian islands.
Hire a car
Once you’re on the island, hiring a car is definitely the easiest way to explore. Corfu’s landscape is varied, and having your own transport makes it much easier to reach some of the smaller beaches and inland villages. Buses run between the main towns, but the services are much more limited in the quieter areas.
