 Sunflower Landscapes Corfu Guide
by Noel RochfordFrom the Sunflower Landscapes Guides series. For centuries Corfu's magnetic beauty has attracted travellers,who have sung the praises of the peacock-hued bays, the hillsides drenched in silvery-green olive trees, and the emerald greenness of the countryside. And when you leave Corfu, these will be your impressions too. While time brings change, the pristine Corfu so beloved of Lear and the Durrell brothers can still be found - this book tells you where. It turns the island inside-out and helps you find a Corfu unknown to most tourists.
The book focuses on walking, but it is not intended only for walkers. The car touring section will show you the best of the island, and the picnic suggestions make an excellent introduction to the countryside.
There are walks for all ages and abilities on this island, from strolls to beaches to challenging day-long hikes - in the mountains or criss-crossing the plains.
"The real Corfu is not hard to find. The best solution is to buy Landscapes of Corfu. It describes good walks in detail, as well as giving car touring routes, bus timetables, some Greek vocabulary It really is indispensable, because few paths are signposted or waymarked." (Country Walking)
Best months for walking: April, May, June, September, October.
Where to Stay: If your primary aim is to walk (and especially if you intend relying on the local buses) Corfu town is the logical place to stay. Otherwise, for ease of access to bus services, choose somewhere on the touristy east coast between Benitses and Ipsos. Away from the coast, Potamos would also be a good choice.
