For history lovers, Corfu is an intoxicating destination. Over the course of its history it has been occupied by many different powers including the Venetians, the French and the British. This lends the area an appearance quite distinct from most Greek Islands. Indeed, the architecture resembles Venice, as much of it was designed at the behest of the Venetian nobility; these wonderful buildings stand out nicely against the beautiful scenery of the islands. It was not until 1864 that Corfu joined Greece, and a trip here will provide history buffs with a look at an island which has lived its life caught in the movement of Europe’s great powers.

Corfu also offers the requisite number of excellent beaches. After all, no one wants to come to a warm destination and leave without a nice tan. Resorts in Sidari and Achavari will give you excellent access to sandy beaches and the warm waters of the Mediterranean. Everyone, both young and old, will relish the warmth, the sand and the chance to get outside and get some much needed Vitamin D. The weather in Corfu is generally wonderful, with warm temperatures year round, even in the winter.

Corfu holidays also give you the opportunity to do some hiking. Hiking is a great thing to do on this type of holiday: it is a bit more active than lying on the beach and will show you some beautiful sites. Indeed, it would be a shame to miss Corfu’s natural beauty. Well-maintained paths lead into the hills, allowing anyone to take a gentle hike away from the beach and into nature. The Corfu trail is a particularly good route: it stretches 220 kilometres and takes you to secluded destinations well away from the press of other travellers.

Winter has well and truly arrived for many of us. Indeed, in many parts of Europe the snow is piling up and the cold shows no signs of abating. Holidays in Corfu are the perfect way to escape this: they will take you a wonderful historic destination which is home to excellent weather, beaches and hikes.

Members of the cast, including Meryl Streep, Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan, were inspired by the area’s dramatic dreamscape during filming: dominated by mountains, villages clinging to its verdant slopes, where the waters are wonderfully clear, and its beaches blissful. It’s an area untouched by time, and gratifyingly Greek. 

The stars opted for authentic eccentric, serene bohemian on the accommodation front, staying at the rather special Damouchari Hotel, situated in a tiny, car-free hamlet, one of the most beautiful places on the peninsula. Just a short walk from the natural harbour and the white-pebble beach, this bijoux hotel is eclectically decorated and has a freshwater pool and four excellent local tavernas. The owners, Apostolis and Elli Vainopoulos, have created an oasis of lawns and shady trees here between the dazzling blue sea and the white cliffs.

A seven-night stay at the Damouchari Hotel costs from £640 pp (two sharing) in July, including flights (Gatwick) and accommodation with breakfast when booked through Greek Specialist Sunvil

Filming also took place on Skopelos, a beautifully green, wooded island with delightful secluded coves that has retained its Greek flavour. Sunvil Specialist Greece, the UK’s expert operator to the country for 34 years, offers the most comprehensive programme to Skopelos from the UK.  A week’s stay at the secluded Stone Cottage near Skopelos Town, costs from £677 pp (two sharing) including return flights (Gatwick) and transfers.
