One the greenest Greek islands, olive tree-carpeted Corfu is more traditional than other holiday honeypots. Remote inland roads have barely been updated since the 1800s, so we say, all the more reason to stick to the coast. Set sail in July and August for excellent sailing conditions owing to prevailing north-westerly winds, and a thoroughly warmed up sea.

Our Sunsail 33i is dependable and responsive, ideal for manoeuvring busy Mediterranean harbours. The 33's two cabins will happily accommodate a family and a convertible saloon increases the maximum number of berths to six.
