If you are, like I am, a fan of the show The Durrels in Corfu, you are aware of this adorable island.
Not exactly a hidden gem, as the Brits have been vacationing here for ages, I would say it is still relatively undiscovered by Americans. It is at least not as saturated as Mykonos or Santorini, and thank God for that.
It certainly gets busy during the high season but it’s an island large enough to find some great spots and the Old Town Corfu is absolutely beautiful.
Corfu is a convenient 30 minute ferry ride from Albania, making hopping in and out of the Schengen Zone relatively painless.
It’s definitely one of my favorite places to visit, just maybe not in August.
