Additionally, some options offer private pools or whirlpool baths to make your stay even more elegant. The gastronomic options at Domes of Corfu are second to none, delivering Corfiot, Greek and international delicacies across a number of on-site restaurants, perfectly paired with the bars that display the art of mixology with refreshing cocktails, as well as featuring extensive wine lists.
