Well okay it might be a while yet before the Easter bunnies come out in force. But the Easter eggs are already out in the shops and have been for a while. You won’t be keen on taking any Easter eggs to Corfu if you decide to spend Easter there this year though, as you are about to find out.

Of course it would probably be too hot to keep chocolate in the best of conditions. But aside from this you will have too much else to see and do while you are there. Be warned that Easter in Corfu tends to bring in the crowds so if you are seriously considering going, start looking for your accommodation and flights as soon as you can. Greece is well known for its celebration of Easter and it is very different to how we celebrate it in the UK! It will certainly be an eye opener if you haven’t been to Corfu at this time of year before.

Corfu in particular is renowned as the best place in the whole of Greece to go for Easter. Imagine a huge celebration with plenty of people taking part; indeed there is information available from many sources that state various people from all kinds of faiths are involved. This must truly be an inspiring place to be during this time of year – far removed from the excess of chocolate we tend to go for here.

Firework displays, candlelit processions and celebrations to remember for a long time to come are all part of the Easter that is celebrated in Corfu. This is indeed a wonderful time to visit the island, especially if you are eager to explore while you are there. You will probably want to escape from the crowds for a while and take the opportunity to browse around some of the smaller and quieter villages here too. What better way to complement this time of year on this Greek island?

If the commercialism of Easter gets a bit much for you at home, you now know where to head for in a few weeks from now.
