Ambiance & landscapes
In the Far South of Corfu, the landscapes offer a striking mix of steep cliffs, fine sandy beaches and centuries-old olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see. Lefkimmi charms with its authentic rural character, with its traditional houses and crystalline waters inviting peaceful swimming. Kavos alternates between lively vibes and isolated coves, while Boukari reveals an intimate fishing port surrounded by green hills. The Mediterranean sun bathes these places in warm light, creating varied ambiances from absolute calm to spectacular sunsets over the Ionian Sea. This preserved territory evokes a timeless Greece where nature and culture meet harmoniously.
