A hangover from the island's British military and colonial past, we were surprised to find that cricket is a popular game in Corfu! The first game took place here between the two military groups on St George’s Day in 1823, and today you can have a game all over the island. The most popular greens are the Esplanade at Corfu Town, (although alot of that space is a car park now) and the brand new ground at Kontokali Marina. Things really kick off in July, and games last 35 overs.

Watch a game, or bring your own set and play!

A great free thing to do, and a chance to escape from the overcrowded resorts.

Corfu’s highest mountain is a giddy 1000 meters high in the north of the island, and the views from the top are breathtaking. On a clear day you can spot the southern tip of Italy, and see neighbouring islands like Paxos.

Rent a car and take the scenic drive, or if you're feeling adventurous hike to the top - remember to pack lots of suncream and wear comfortable shoes.
