Summer events in Corfu
With beautiful parades followed by fireworks and feasting, Corfu knows how to celebrate. August is the month for village festivals (or panigiri) with events in full swing every week, plus bigger celebrations in the larger towns.
Some of the larger festivals include the International Dancing Festival, held in Sinies each July; Saint Spryriodons Day on the 11th of August; and The Varkarola, which includes the recreation of a nautical battle, in mid-August. Every village has at least three to four per year, so with more than 200 villages on the island there are local festivals and celebrations almost daily.

Boating day trips
Picture this: standing at the front of your private yacht’s deck as you dart across the Ionian Sea, pointing out spots for snorkelling and scuba diving, or dramatic arches and cliffs where a chef can prepare an exquisite lunch on the water.

Yoga
Zone-in on your breathing: deep inhales and exhales as you hear the waves of the Ionian Sea crashing below. Every morning you can be joined by an instructor who will guide you in a yogic session while you look out over the uninterrupted sea views.
