For those of us flying out from Manchester or Liverpool, the promise of a Greek island escape is often the highlight of the year. Perithia, located on the northern coast of Corfu, offers exactly the kind of unhurried, sun-drenched pace that makes a package holiday so rejuvenating. It is the ideal spot for travellers who prefer the sound of the Ionian Sea over the hum of a busy city.

Whether you are a couple seeking a quiet corner of the Mediterranean or a family looking for a reliable beach break, this area delivers that classic Corfu hospitality. With warm weather, crystal-clear waters and an easy-going atmosphere, it is a destination that feels both welcoming and perfectly suited to a week or two of pure relaxation.

Where to Stay in Perithia

Finding the right base is essential for a stress-free holiday. If you are looking for a reliable, comfortable stay, there is a key option available in the area that is popular with British travellers:

• Mareblue Beach: This 4-star beachfront resort is located in Agios Spyridon, Perithia, Corfu, Greece, making it a fantastic choice for those who want to step straight from their room onto the sand.

Beaches and Resorts

The coastline around Perithia is one of its most compelling features. The beaches here typically boast shallow, turquoise waters, which are perfect for families with young children or those who enjoy a gentle paddle in the morning sun. You will find that most resorts focus on providing a seamless experience, with sunbeds and parasols readily available so you can spend your time reading, swimming, or simply soaking up the vitamin D.

While the pace is slower than in some of the island’s larger, more built-up tourist hubs, that is precisely the draw. You can enjoy long afternoons by the water without the usual crowds, giving you the space to truly switch off from the demands of work and daily life back in the UK.

Getting There and When to Go

Most visitors arriving from airports like Manchester or Liverpool will fly into Corfu International Airport. From there, your package holiday transfer will whisk you up to the north of the island. The journey is a pleasant introduction to the lush, green landscape that makes Corfu unique.

In terms of timing, the season generally runs from May through to October. May and June offer lovely mild temperatures and lush, green scenery, while July and August are perfect for those who want guaranteed hot, dry weather. If you prefer things a little cooler but still warm enough for a swim, September is an excellent time to visit.

Food and Local Life

One of the true joys of a Greek holiday is the food, and Perithia does not disappoint. You can expect to find traditional tavernas serving up fresh, simple ingredients. Think crisp Greek salads with locally produced olive oil, grilled souvlaki, and freshly caught fish. Dining is usually a relaxed affair, often enjoyed outdoors in the cool evening breeze.

Beyond the table, the area encourages a simple lifestyle. Days are best spent taking coastal walks, enjoying a bit of snorkelling in the clear bays, or taking a stroll to explore the immediate surroundings. It is the perfect environment for those who find their holiday joy in the small, quiet moments.

Who Does This Destination Suit?

Perithia is a superb choice for anyone who prioritises comfort and convenience. It is particularly well-suited to families who need easy access to child-friendly beaches and couples looking for a romantic, quiet backdrop for their annual leave. If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of more commercialised resorts and want an honest, authentic experience with all the perks of a well-organised package trip, this corner of Corfu is a firm favourite.
