Corfu is one of our best-loved Greek destinations, with 3,473 Thomas Cook holidaymakers visiting over the past year. Its lush green landscape sets it apart from many Greek islands, with olive groves running down to pebble coves and a Venetian-influenced Old Town that's easy to explore on foot. Most guests book a 7-night stay, though shorter 5- and 4-night breaks are popular too for a quicker escape.
September is the top month to travel, with June and May close behind for those seeking warm days without the height-of-summer crowds. Our customers typically jet off from London Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham, all with direct flights to get you there faster.
Hotels that returning guests often choose include Canvas by Mitsis Messonghi, Unda, or the adults-only Cook's Club Corfu. Prices typically start from around £942pp, dropping to roughly £565pp over winter, or from about £990pp during peak summer. Every booking combining flights and hotel comes ATOL-protected, with a low deposit to secure your holiday.
