Guide to Vigla

"The peace of the mountains topped with scintillating views and some of Corfu's quietest bays - Vigla seduces every which way."

Hardly changed by time, Vigla is a holiday retreat in every sense. Encircled by tree-swathed, undulating hills it's the perfect place to step off the world and take some soul-reviving time out. Perched high above the bay-encrusted shores of the north eastern coast, it's a minute hamlet where there's little else to do but take long, delicious strolls in the forested hills or just revel in the ever-present gallery of eye-popping views. From here, the bays and fishing villages of Kalami and Koulouri beckon from far below, embraced by thick cypress and olive groves that clamber up the steep slopes towards you. When you're not lounging by the pool drinking in the vistas, head down the hillside to experience them close-up. Lie back on the white shingle and sandy coves and let the sun work its warming magic on your skin. Swim and snorkel in cool, crystal-clear waters. Then steal away to a bustling waterfront taverna to tuck into home-cooked souvlaki and freshly prepared hummus as the intricate tapestry of harbour life unfolds before you. When you want a fix of shopping, the colourful rows of souvenir stores at nearby Kassiopi will more than satisfy your shopping whims. But don't stay too long. Long before dark, wind your way back home to witness the evening darkness settle like stardust over the coastal panorama below.
