As time goes on, the Greek islands are becoming increasingly popular amongst British holidaymakers and now that a new route has been launched from Birmingham Airport to Corfu, it is no longer necessary to hop on a flight from London.
This saves invaluable time and hassle for the holidaymaker on limited time. Why not enjoy every moment of your holiday without wasting one moment of it travelling to other airports?
For many people who live further up north or in the midlands, Birmingham airport is a much more convenient, time saving option compared to driving all the way down to London. Also, as Birmingham airport is still one of the main airports in the UK, reserve parking at Birmingham airport and other services are readily available. On birminghamparking.com, for example, you can find recently updated quotes for meet and greet parking and other useful services. If you’ve been longing for a Greek holiday and have never quite had the time to do it, now it’s easier than ever if you live in the West Midlands.
Why Corfu Is So Popular as a Holiday Destination
It has been just about a year now that Jet2 launched its new route to the island of Corfu, or in Greek, Kerkyra, and what the airline has noticed is a massive increase in holiday travellers seeking to visit this historic and amazingly interesting of the Ionian Greek islands.
Not only is the shore lined with trendy resorts, but the entire island has an amazing number of attractions, none quite as mysterious as what are referred to as the “labyrinthine alleys of Campiello.” There is so much history packed into this northern Greek island that you could travel to Corfu year after year on holiday and never see all there is to see and do all there is to do on this small island.
Corfu’s Capital Declared a Castle City
In fact, there is so much history packed into this tiny island that the Greek government declared Corfu Town, Corfu’s capital city, a Kastropolis. Literally translated it would mean “castle city” and as the name would imply, there are several buildings of historical value dating back to the castles of medieval times well into the 17th century.
In addition, the city centre has been officially declared a UNESCO World Heritage Centre because of its rich cultural heritage. Being listed as one of the top three Greek World Heritage sites by bucketlistjourney.com, you will see why upon arrival on the island. From the Achillion Palace of Empress Elizabeth of Austria and Hungary to the summer residence of Frederick Adam, the British High Commissioner with it’s 2,000 plus rare exotic plants, history, and architecture take front and centre stage on a holiday in Corfu.
The launch of the new Birmingham – Corfu route has helped to increase air traffic from Birmingham to Greece by more than 7,500 people a summer. With the ease at which travellers can find parking for the duration of their Greek holiday and an easily accessible airport, more and more holidaymakers from the West Midlands will be taking their summer holidays in Corfu, a popular resort amongst British travellers.
