Golf
Corfu Golf Club located in the Ropa Valley within a thirty minute drive. The Corfu Club is a beautiful course that has been praised by many as one of golf's best kept secrets in Europe. It was designed by the famous Switzerland-based architect, Donald Harradine and he has blended the natural resources of the lovely Ropa Valley, including the river of Nafsika (Odyseus was rescued by Princess Nafsika at its exit on Ermones beach), with manmade hazards to make the course a good but fair test. It is as enjoyable for the scratch player as it is for the long handicap one.
The tree-lined fairways and the sandtraps combine with the several lakes and meandering streams, to make an attractive picture against a backcloth of high hills. A magical place full of animals and birds (kingfishers, herons, otters, fish). The course has been recently renovated, with major work carried out on the bunkers and an upgrade to the irrigation system, therefore keeping the course in perfect condition at all times.
Special interest holidays
The area is very popular with hikers and mountain bikers due to the hilly nature of the terrain. Horse riding can also be arranged locally. Dinghy and cruiser sailing are available locally including skippered boats. The Ionian Islands are unique for the nature of the coastline and ideal for beginners due to the light winds in the summer season.
