Corfu
Last Updated: 3rd May 2013
Corfu, one of the Ionian Islands of north-western Greece, is one of the largest islands and is also the greenest.
No matter where you stay or what you do, visiting Corfu is a pure holiday. Chill out, relax by the pool while sipping a cocktail or get out and about to the beaches, party till the sun comes up or enjoy a laid back lunch after shopping in the Old Town. The attitude of the locals here in Corfu seems to be even more casual then the rest of the Greeks and
Things to Do and See
Corfu is a place to chill out, relax and enjoy Greek island living at perhaps its best. There are however loads of activities to get up to on this most famous of the Ionian Islands.
Chilling out, relaxing, enjoying a Greek salad, gyros and the summer sun maybe the simplest, but also the best way to enjoy the island.
Car Hire
Car Hire is almost a must in order to get out and explore the length and breadth of the island and visit the small, but spectacular Palekostritsa or vast sand beach of Glafada.
Watersports
Watersports too are another very attractive option on the island with parasailing, tube rides, water skiing and the infamous ‘flyfish’ also being hugely popular.
Optional Excursions
George’s Boat is an optional excursion not to be missed while the Taverna Gloupos Greek Dinner and Dancing evening is also on offer.
Bars, Clubs and Parties
Legendary Toga parties are a highlight of staying at the Concept/Budget Hotel Frini and are guaranteed to go off. Dassia Beach, while a little isolated, is definitely worth the journey to party on the beach at a whole range of clubs like ‘Edam’. Corfu Town also offers small but enticing bars clubs on the weekends when many of the locals come out to play.
You may well find yourself waking up on a beach with nothing better to do than rest, relax and get ready do it all again.
Shopping
Generally the prices in Greece for most things is a little cheaper than the rest of Europe. Corfu Town provides a great mix of the old and the new with the main street full of the regular retail fare expected of a resort town while the Old Town is a maze of streets and alleyways (originally built this way to confuse pirates) filled with markets and stalls. Fantastic just to walk around in and get lost and great fun to try and bargain and barter with the every savvy shopkeepers.

I want to go at least once to this vast and green island someday. Greece sounds great yet the name raises a fun element too for it is too fancy. It’s nice way to narrate a site wise incident.

For ladies I would definitely recommend finding some slightly nicer than normal black flats... I bought some in Prague for super cheap and still wear them all the time!
This is awesome - you have to do it - so much information about the city - it really has an amazing history.
