The island’s natural beauty has been lauded through the ages: Homer called it a ‘beautiful and rich land’; Odysseus stopped off here on his journey home to Ithaki; Shakespeare used the island as background for The Tempest; and various writers have sung its praises in the 20th century, including Gerald Durrell in his 1978 memoir The Garden of the Gods.
Corfu has so much to offer each visitor, and it is truly an ideal honeymoon destination. Just the sheer natural beauty of the island alone is enough to keep your attention focused. But, if you are considering other islands, with their different sights, sounds and tastes, then consider a two or three center holiday.

For dry and hot days averaging 28°C, time your honeymoon holiday during summer – from late June to early September. The mountainous areas are generally cooler.
