places of interest
the island is full of little villages and there is also some spectacular scenery to be enjoyed Why not visit the Pantokrator Mountain, Corfu's highest point, and admire the view over the island to the open sea - don't forget your camera! A day trip into Corfu Old Town is also not to be missed. Here you can explore the maze of cobbled streets lined with souvenir shops. Alternatively, enjoy a traditional Greek meze or look around the old and new forts before a cocktail or two by the harbour.

activities
self drive boat hire
the corfu is an ideal location to hire a small boat and skipper yourself and family for the day to explore the many coves and beaches There are a number of resorts where boats of several different sizes can be hired locally. Usually there are boats with tiller steering and ones with steering wheels. Most boats have a sun canopy. All boats have life vests and are fully prepared. You do not need a speedboat licence to drive a boat with an engine smaller than 25hp. Instruction can be given if required.
windsurfing
though not known particularly for its windsurfing corfu none the less has two good windsurfing schools One is in the south of the island and the other is on Avlaki beach in the North. windsurfing is something all the family can enjoy, either out at sea or from the comfort of a sunbed on the beach! a range of boards and lessons from qualified instructors are available, if required
horse riding
if you prefer not to do all the work what better way to enjoy the scenery and tone up the muscles a bit than by horse There are several horse riding schools around the island.
there are two very nice ones: one at avlaki where alison takes you on a ride through the erimitis peninsular with its lovely sea views, another is in kato korakiana where sally takes lovely rides through the countryside from her well-tended stables
kassiopi
there is plenty to keep you occupied in and around the village if you can tear yourselves away from the private pool in your very own villa Right outside your villa there are miles of gorgeous, unspoilt countryside to explore on foot or horseback. But if you fancy seeing more of the island on your holiday, Kassiopi makes a great base. Achavari, the main town in this area is nearby along the picturesque coastal road and worth visiting for its splendid 2 mile crescent of clean sandy beach, with warm shallow water perfect for playing and paddling.
corfu town
the capital of the island and at one time of all the ionian islands, corfu is a joy to discover With its elegant arcades, narrow Venetian style streets and relaxed friendly atmosphere it is definitely a must for all. A historically strategic and heavily fortified town and port Corfu's history dates back centuries. Evidence of the original site of the ancient Greek city can be seen in the gardens of Mon Repos, the one time residence of the Greek royal family and in the Archaeological museum. Further evidence of Corfu's Historic past can be found simply wandering through the streets. You will come across little Byzantine churches, Italian platias, French arcades and a very British cricket pitch. A walk up either of the two dominating Venetian fortresses that still remain is well worth the effort for the panoramic views across the town, port and sea and for refreshment and shopping you are truly spoilt for choice with a wide range of shaded café bars, restaurants and shops open from early morning until late at night.
"villa elissavet" is in a great position perched amid the countryside Its elevated location secures marvelous views over the hillside and open water, to the far side of the bay. The villa has a spacious sea-facing swimming pool and terrace, and a well-furnished interior.
