The Olivar Suites

Situated in the Ionian Sea, just off Greece’s northwest coast, Corfu is known for its green hills, historic villages and lots of enticing beaches. It’s a deservedly popular island where most days are spent close to the water, whether that’s swimming, boating or relaxing by the shore, and many of the island's accommodation options reflect that easy coastal lifestyle. You’ll find some of the best beach resorts with private stretches of sand and full facilities, alongside smaller seaside hotels with great views. There are also plenty of affordable properties near the beach, ensuring that there is a great range of options, whatever your budget or taste.
