Beyond the urban delights, Corfu boasts pristine beaches, secluded coves, and lush countryside.

Adjacent to Paxos, the tiny island of Antipaxos is a haven of tranquility. Immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters of Voutoumi Beach, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. Stroll through the picturesque village of Antipaxos, where time seems to stand still, and savor the flavors of traditional Greek cuisine at the charming tavernas.
