Corfu is a location I’d often heard of people travelling to for pool holidays. It’s not a destination I had ever really considered visiting, but after a 16 month sabbatical of not leaving Ireland/the UK, I didn’t hesitate when Amy suggested visiting Corfu, and there was enough sightseeing to do to keep me happy.
