Greece is a place of countless islands, yet among them, there is one that stands out in a unique way: Through the years, Corfu has served as the summer sanctuary of royalty, the serene hideaway of adored celebrities, and the hotbed of alternative all-inclusive tourism. 

For those who wonder why, one visit to Corfu is enough for everything to fall into place. Verdant and lush from coast to coast, the beautiful island is laced with emerald beaches and rugged coves, and dotted with hidden paradises waiting to lure visitors into peaceful respites and wholesome local experiences. In that rich, natural tableau, one can spend their holidays as they desire, whether blending out of sight or tasting every delight available. 

But Corfu is also a timeless crossroads of history and culture, boasting impressive architectural landmarks and age-old traditions carried out devoutly from one generation to the next. Cultured travelers must feel right at home here as they hop from palace to palazzo and witness the power of tradition tie diverse historical references into one coherent narrative. 

Where the elites enjoyed their dolce vita 

Even before the concept of Greek tourism existed, members of royal families and the global elite visited Corfu to indulge in its summertime delights and mingle with one another under the Mediterranean sun.  

The island has been home to several premieres, like the luxury offerings of the legendary Castello Bibelli Hotel and the Club Med Dassia, one of the first all-inclusive nature retreats that disrupted the hospitality industry. Even today, many of the world’s richest people have established a quiet hideaway somewhere in the crown jewel of the Ionian islands.
