Water, water everywhere

Holidays are all about water and Corfu’s north east coast is the perfect place for pottering along the coastline, for diving off the boat into the clear, deep sea, for mooring up for lunch in one of the superb tavernas and returning home at the end of the day with a healthy glow.

CV Travel has villas with private beaches, private moorings, in sea-front locations, with history, with access to luxury yachts or sailing lessons, even two-centre Italy – Corfu villa holidays.

Villas with private moorings

With its own private mooring and virtually private beach, lawned gardens, pool, playground and granny annexe, St. Nicholas's Beach House is the ultimate family house. The best sandy beach on the North East coast at Kalamaki, with its shallow waters and soft sand, is just a few minutes by boat.

A private boat mooring completes the fabulous facilities at VillaPetroti, a highly sought after and comfortably established villa with a magnificent pool and floodlit tennis court, set on one of Corfu’s most beautiful bays in a uniquely private position s close to the atmospheric harbour side village of St Stefano.

Bootle Bumtrinket up the coast

Right on the waterfront at Kalami, The White House was once home to Nobel prize winner Lawrence Durrell. The first floor apartment is available to rent from CV Travel, or stay at Yaliskari Bay House, a luxurious villa in a stunning setting on a scenic headland and take a trip along Corfu’s North East coast as Gerald Durrell did in The Bootle-Bumtrinket.

A tale of two (waterfront) Cities

Albania's mountainous shores are temptingly close to Corfu's North East coast so why not combine Corfu and Albania with a full day’s boat trip from Corfu Town to the city of Saranda. A champagne lunch and a guided visit to the archeological ruins at Butrint complete a recommended day out. The magnificent and historic Gastouri House is just 10kms from Corfu Town.

Or stay close to the lively port and village of Kassiopi at the lovely Villa Lithari and take the late afternoon ferry down to Corfu Town for evening shopping in its winding streets, or a drink on top of the Cavalieri Hotel for exceptional views of the 16th Century fortress and a birds eye look at one of Greece's most beautiful cities.

The ultimate add-on

A decadent addition to a stay in a luxurious CV Travel villa is to charter the British built M/Y Meggie, a Princess 45 motor yacht available for daily charter for 11 guests, with 3 cabins, luxury, space and comfort. Head off to Paxos or Albania or stay on board for longer and cruise the nearby islands of Lefkada, Kefalonia or Zakynthos. M/Y Meggie is available for clients staying in any of CV Travel’s Corfu properties.

Sail on by

The adjoining Avlaki Beach Houses are perfectly positioned to take advantage of sailing courses at the excellent, English-run sailing school at Avlaki, one of Corfu’s most spectacular bays, whose gentle breezes create ideal conditions for sailing and windsurfing. Up to 12 friends or families can share the houses, which are rented individually for up to 6 outside of high season.

Pasta with Greek Salad

Holiday in both Italy and the Greek Islands using ferry services from Bari, Brindisi and Venice to Corfu Town. For example, a week’s stay at the eclectic Parco del Vaglio in Puglia, a traditional trulli house for 8, can be combined with a week at eco-friendly Villa Cecilia, Pelekas in Corfu, for those who like their pasta followed by a traditional Greek salad.
