    The Pink Palace
    Corfu, Greece


    Nestled right on the beach in Agios Gordios Bay, the Pink Palace offers self-indulgent delights for all persuasions. Guests can explore the Ionian underworld on the Palace's famous "Boat Excursion" which includes a day of beer bongs, cliff diving and snorkelling. Those who prefer solid land to three-hour tours can bask in the Greek sun while off-roading around the local monasteries, castles and sand dunes on a four-wheeler safari. Those still standing can dance the night away at one of the Palace's world-famous toga parties in their private nightclub the Palladium, complete with ouzo circles, plate smashing and beer races.
