Birthplace of Prince Philip; the Greek royals' island

Corfu

Greece · May to October

Prince Philip was born at Mon Repos, the neoclassical villa in the old royal estate, and the island has held a quiet royal gravity ever since — the King of Greece summers nearby, and the northeast coast's villas, hidden behind cypress gates, have hosted every European house.

Why it stays exclusive

·The northeast coast's private villas — Rothschild territory, gate by gate
·Mon Repos itself, the royal villa in its own wooded estate
·Bays reachable only by boat, where lunch is whatever the morning caught

What is possible here

·A private day-boat down the northeast coast, swimming off Agni's tavernas
·Mon Repos and the old palace gardens before the heat
·Dinner in a Venetian courtyard in the Old Town, candles and kumquat liqueur
·The Achilleion — Empress Sisi's palace — in the hour before the coaches
