Folies Corfu

Corfu Town


Bright, self-catering studios and one- or two-bedroom apartments, all with balconies or terraces, are arrayed around a lush garden pool surrounded by palm trees in a residential neighbourhood. It's well priced thanks to the away-from-it-all location, 2km west of the New Town – a half-hour walk from the centre. Breakfast costs €5 extra.
