The Ionian Islands region
The Ionian Islands take their name from the sea which lies between the tip of Italy and the west coast of Greece. The Ionians in turn took their name from Ion, after the nymph goddess of the sea. These islands are also known as the Eptanisos - The Seven Islands - of which Corfu is the second largest with a length of 40 miles and a width varying between two and a half and eighteen miles. The North East Cape, where you will find the resort town of Kassiopi, is one and a half miles from the Albanian coast. The shape of the island resembles a scythe with a surface area of 588 square miles.
Corfu / Agios Georgios South area
On Corfu, prepare yourselves to enjoy good food and wine, long lazy Taverna lunches, dip into the sea and enjoy complete relaxation. Yet those searching for a little more action will not be disappointed. Corfu is an island of diversity.
Agios Georgios has two main beaches. Both beaches are wide, have easy-on-the-feet sand and are safely shallow for children. Sand dunes and a lake add interest to the north beach. There is also a wide variety of water sports available. The main stretch of St Georges offers many traditional tavernas, great for sampling some of the local cuisine and wonderful fresh fish!

Sept 08 - May I say how impressed we were with your villa. It was beautifully equipped and spotlessly clean, a real pleasure to settle in to. Keith had kindly put a few basics in the villa; that was a lovely touch as we arrived quite late in the evening and we were delighted to be able to partake of a glass of wine to start the holiday. Also, how lucky you are to have Keith and Jane there looking after things for you. We met several times; they were charming people and very helpful to us. Colin and family (UK)
