Celebrate Independence Day With The Greek’s On Corfu Holidays

March 25 is Greece’s day of independence. If you’re in Greece during this time, there’s plenty to see.From toasting to the occasion at a rustic restaurant on Corfu holidays to cheering on the parades on the mainland Greece, you’ll be guaranteed a good day out. 

In larger locations such as the capital and Thessalonki, the parades are centred around the Greek military and service members. From tanks to planes and helicopters, there’s plenty of excitement during the march with lots of firemen and policemen donning their uniforms as well as the army.

If you’re celebrating on one of the islands, however, they have their own ways of marking the occasion. Watch the parade in Corfu Town, if you’re in the area, for an ideal island atmosphere. Starting just after noon, remember that roads will be blocked off for the parade, so don’t attempt to travel too far that day. The festivities keep going on through the evening as a band makes its way through the streets.

Besides the draw of Corfu Town for the parade, it is a truly beautiful town well worth another visit a day or two after the parade to soak its sheer beauty and elegance. Don’t forget to take your camera, with architecture from churches to palaces dating back to the 1400s, you’ll want to capture every moment of your Corfu luxury holidays.There are also plenty of other activities to enjoy on Corfu like scuba diving courses to an afternoon of 18 holes at Corfu Golf Club. Indulge in some scenery and sample some of the local cuisine on a day cruise for a spot of lunch and a stunning setting. There are loads of things to do on cheap holidays as well, such as hiking Mount Pantokrator from Benitses village to basking in the crystal blue waters on Corfu beaches.

Corfu is well worth a visit anytime of the year, but if you happen to be going around Greek Independence Day, then you’re just lucky to be part of it all.
