Explore Greek history on a Corfu villa holiday

Here, they can learn more about the fascinating excavations that have taken place on the island and discover their importance in history.

When it first opened in the 1960s, the main purpose of the museum was to house an exhibition of sculptures from the Artemis temple.

These sculptures are still there, but more rooms have since been added where artefacts recently found in and around Corfu Town have been added.

Greek islands are renowned for being virtual treasure troves for ancient runs and relics, so a villa holiday in Corfu will suit history buffs.

Tourists could rent villas in Gouvia, which is just a short drive from Corfu Town where the Archaeological Museum is based.

The resort is also home to a large marina, where holiday makers can spend time eating in traditional restaurants and watching the yachts come and go.
