Where to stay on Corfu
The most popular resort on Corfu, Paleokastritsa has everything you could look for from a classic holiday destination. Its waters are crystal clear, perfect for swimming or snorkelling, and the stretches of sandy beach welcome visitors to while away the days on a sunlounger with a good book. Alipa Port offers an assortment of lovely local tavernas and bars, great for sundowners and continuing the good vibes into the evening. If you’re looking to work up your appetite before your evening meal, a hike up to the Paleokastritsa Monastery is well worth the time. If the interesting Byzantine architecture doesn’t excite you, its gorgeous view of the Med is sure to.
The best beaches on Corfu
Corfu’s beaches truly set the island apart. Dotted around the island, you’ll find beaches that range from long and undisturbed stretches of golden sand, to tiny coves dotted with fishing boats. The gentle Greek waters are perfect for a midday swim or a quick evening dip. Visit the calm and secluded Rovinia Beach, just fifteen minutes’ drive from Paleokastritsa, by hiking down 100 steps into a cove surrounded by olive groves and pine trees. Or if you’re not a fan of fine sand getting everywhere, check out the pretty pebbled beach at Barbati.
Visiting Corfu Town
While many visit Corfu for the beaches, the town is definitely worth a visit as well! Corfu’s Old Town is cloaked in history. The various ruins show the island’s resilience through centuries of interesting changes, so you’ll see a colourful mix of Venetian, French, and British architecture. Take a slow wander over cobblestones and around pastel-coloured buildings as rustic wooden shutters move in the breeze, and take in the flowers that stretch across doorways, lampposts and street corners. With the sense of history all around you, it feels like more of a movie set than a UNESCO World Heritage site. Direct flights to Corfu land you right near Corfu Town, so spending some time here at the beginning or end of your trip to Corfu is a great idea.
Dining and nightlife in Corfu
The streets may be ancient, but the atmosphere is definitely modern. There are countless stylish bars and clubs to get you on your feet, dancing the night away in the Mediterranean moonlight. You’ll be spoilt for choice with hundreds of places to indulge in local cuisine. The abundance of fresh, natural ingredients bring life to every dish. Nicknamed the Emerald Isle, there’s no shortage of olive trees on Corfu, and their produce is a treat to nibble with – and drizzle over – your dinner. Think Greek yoghurt, honey and local wine.
Other things to do in Corfu
Away from the buzz of the beaches, Corfu has miles of countryside to admire. It has its fair share of ancient sculptures, buildings and monuments which add to the mythological atmosphere.
