Corfu is a small city, on a small island in Greece. From my hotel room I can see the green edge of the cricket pitch where, in John le Carré's A Perfect Spy, the Czech agent, Axel, chased Magnus Pym in slow, limping circles.
Corfu offers a glorious mix of unspoilt mountains and sparkling shorelines, making it an ideal location for both luxury accommodations and immersive island living.
