Corfu has something for everyone

Driving back from the beach on Sunday we passed this village property which has been for sale for some time. It is a lovely old stone manor house, with a small courtyard garden and outbuildings. With a modicum of talent and a good builder to hand - just ask Corfuhomefinders, we have found a real star - this property could be a wonderful home, or holiday base.

Karousades has a good selection of shops and tavernas, including one shop that looks as if it has come straight out of a Dickens novel. It is only minutes drive from several pretty, secluded bays on the north coast - old-fashioned Greece, not particularly touristy and a world away from the fashionable north east. Corfu really does have something for everyone.
