North east Corfu is one of the most sought-after locations in the Ionian islands, characterised by steep, olive-clad slopes, smooth pebble beaches and hypnotically clear sea. The atmosphere is discreetly luxurious, where statement yachts moor up to feast on simple taverna fare, and couples mingle with families to enjoy the picturesque harbours, excellent watersports and low-key nightlife. And to complete the picture, set behind the perfect curve of Avlaki beach is a delightful boutique hotel.
