Celebrating the new service from Shannon to Corfu, Fahy Travel has some excellent offers to this popular destination known as the Emerald Queen of the Greek Islands with its lush vegetation all year round. Full of olive trees, cypresses, and a wealth of other plants, insects, birds, and animals, this unique destination attracts thousands of Irish holiday makers every summer.
The town of Corfu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is influenced by years spent under Venetian, French, and British rule offering both Baroque and classical history; palaces, fortresses, and austere public buildings of the Venetian rule uniquely blend with lines of drying washing in tiny alleyways and small secluded squares. Strolling through a complex of narrow cobbled streets with stairways and vaulted passages, the so-called kantounia (small streets between high rise buildings ) will make you feel as if you have travelled to Genoa or Naples.
Measuring 65km by 30km, this relatively small island has large stretches of uninterrupted coastline with quiet beaches and beautiful views. A series of day hikes from Corfu town lets you explore the many different landscapes from the coast to the mountains. If you prefer a more relaxing stay, choose from the many popular beach resorts, sample the local cuisine and your choice of nightlife on this island that caters both for families, with its all inclusive offering, and the young and lively, with self-catering options.
