Corfu island among world’s 9 most impressive coastlines

Corfu island in Greece is among the 9 most impressive coastlines in the world, according to Smartertravel.com

The travel website notes that if you need some inspiration for a scenic bay to explore or a coastal drive to set out on this summer, there are plenty to choose from, but only “a small slice of them are as dreamy as these ones. From Nova Scotia to Tanzania, here’s where to head for the crystal clear waters, plummeting cliffs, and far-reaching views that make for some truly awesome coastlines.”

Especially about the Ionian Sea Coast of Corfu, the article mentions that “you can’t think “ocean view” and not picture Greece—Santorini, Paros, Mykonos, Crete. But one sprawling, rugged island off the Albanian border boasts historic views to rival those on the frequented southern islands. The Italians, French, and British had their moments on Corfu before the island became solely Greek, and the architecture on its coastline melds those influences into spectacular waterfront landscape. Colorful villages and evergreen-covered mountains meet the rocky, bobbing green-blue waves to create dramatic, photo-worthy scenery. Head to Agios Gordios for beach facilities and rock formations, or to Sidari Canal d Amour for warm Ionian waters and picturesque coves.”
