Corfu

For endless sunshine, great food, tons of wine and layers of blue upon blue upon blue, look no further than Corfu. Located in the Ionian Sea off Greece’s northwest coast, this stunning place is a haven for those in need of some serious rest and relaxation. With a rich and storied multicultural history (the island has been inhabited by the Italians, the French and the British), Corfu is also considered one of the most cosmopolitan Mediterranean destinations (the first Greek University, the first Philharmonic Orchestra and the First School of Fine Arts were all founded here). With so much art and culture, plenty of beaches, olive groves and cypress-covered mountain peaks, you’ll see why locals and tourists alike are in love with Corfu.
