Low-cost airline Ryanair has just announced a new twice-weekly route from London Southend Airport to Corfu, the second largest of the Ionian Islands. The new seasonal service starts on 2 April 2019 and will depart Tuesdays and Saturdays until October. Tickets are bookable now.

Known as one of Greece’s greenest islands, Corfu offers landscapes carpeted with cypress and olive trees reaching down to pristine beaches. The UNESCO World Heritage Old Town has shuttered pastel houses and history in abundance and while there is overdevelopment in parts for those that want to party hard there are also sleepy villages and quiet coves.

Flights to Corfu start at £44.87 one-way.
