Mediterranean Perfume
Corfu was a really pleasant surprise, very green island, Mediterranean, beaches washed by a clear sea, nice places to visit. Our choice fell on Louis Grand Hotel Glyfada, is for a good offer found on the booking, it is affected by its position opposite the long sandy beach. And the choice is right is recognized: the beach is fantastic, perhaps the best on the island, deserted for long stretches, and the sea is really beautiful, with nothing to envy the most popular (and expensive) Sardinia. Treatment is all inclusive (meals, drinks, sports equipment including canoes and pedalo, sun beds and umbrellas on the beach and pool), the rooms large and well furnished, the kitchen also good if a little repetitive, the place definitely quiet. An excellent destination for those looking for a seaside holiday in a pleasant environment, surrounded by mountains and pine forests. International clientele. Recommended!
The tourist places are located within a few Km:
- The town of
Corfu, with a beautiful old town, the narrow streets, medieval buildings, souvenir shops and local restaurants. A walk is more than pleasant.
- The Achilleion, elegant neoclassical building that was among other things, the summer residence of Elizabeth of Austria (Sissi), surrounded by a wonderful garden with beautiful sea views.
-
Kanoni, one of the most photographed of the island, where the Monastery Vlacherna joined to the mainland by a narrow passage.
-
Paleokastritsa, where the most beautiful bays of the island. Here, the sea offers unforgettable hues, the beach is pebbly and rocky seabed, particularly suited to snorkelling. The most characteristic consists of two bays divided by the road: one is rather "clogged" boat leading to the caves along the coast, while the other, very small, is fairly quiet, at least in the morning. From here the road leads to the Monastery on top of the hill, which offers beautiful views (in the morning to visit soon, because then it becomes a destination for organized tours).
-
Sidari, the most characteristic of the coast, where a white cliff rises behind the beach.
