Villa Linakis. Private Holiday Villa for Rent, Arillas, Corfu, Greece.

I’ve long held the view that Corfu would be an ideal winter destination for short breaks - especially Corfu town itself.
Of course it won’t be a sunshine, sea and sand holiday, but you don’t go to other popular European winter short break destinations for that either.
Corfu town has so much to offer, an easy to walk around town makes for a pleasant few days soaking up the history, culture and cafe culture.
Other parts of the island offer a lot for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as cycling and walking, just be prepared for all weathers. There won’t be the abundance of restaurants which are on offer during the summer season, but you will always find somewhere open....the locals like to eat out too!
Another must, is to have heated, cosy and comfortable accommodation.

The following article indicates that year round tourism to Greece could be a possibility in 2022. Perhaps not to Corfu...but in Greece anything is possible!

“...the tourism ministry is currently working with local communities and tourism professionals for Greece to achieve by 2022 an annual season with direct international arrivals.’
