Corfu
I first visited Corfu in 93, on my first commissioned work for Manos Holidays.
I have visited many times since and Corfu offers a varied workplace. The lush north, with it’s villas that cling onto the side of the Pandokrator and countryside that follows the olive groves down to the sandy beaches that skirt the island. Corfu town, busy with echoes of it colonial past and the south, which effectively ends with Kavos and its endless bars and discothèques.
I usually visit each year and always find new things to see. The set of images included here show a variety of resorts and hotel types, which can be found on the island, from villas, small owner run units to the multi block units which cater for the mainstream tourists who visit the most northerly of the Ionian islands.

Kavos, not known for its outstanding architectural qualities requires a slightly differenttype of shot for the youth market, this one taken for club 18-30
Some of the Kavos units do offer country side locations like the Armenos, seen here.
Also at the Armenos, it's important to keep the bar areas looking interesting.
Better to catch the night life of Kavos before it has too much to drink.
