Breathtaking bluffs, stunning beaches, underrated hiking trails, and quaint villages are a few of the things that make the island of Corfu so special. In this travel review I talk about the ways in which the islands history is intertwined with Greek mythology, the important military role it played historically, and what it is like geographically. I also discuss some of my favorite views and beaches, as well as why I think its so important to rent a car there. In addition I break down what kind of budget you will need for your trip to Corfu, and why I think the shoulder season holds so many opportunities.
