Corfu the playground of the 'filthy rich and famous'

Victoria Mather of the Guardian has described Corfu as "the first-choice resort of the grand" who all visit a stretch of coast between Nissaki and Kassiopi.

Corfu has hit the headlines in the UK after it was reported that just weeks ago Peter Mandleson "dripped pure poison" over Gordon Brown's achievements at a taverna on the Greek island last month, according to the Telegraph.

Ms Mather claimed the Duchess of Cornwall, Lord Rothschild, Joanna Lumley and David Cameron are all famous guests of the area while Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska is said to frequently moor his super-yacht there.

Nissaki has a quaint horseshoe beach that is excellent for swimmers and suitable for bathing so it is perfect for couples, families and anyone seeking a small, quiet resort with beautiful scenery.
