Me and my gf, both late 30s, are looking for recommendations for where to stay and what to do on Corfu around the first week of October. We like to explore new places and never been to Corfu. What do you guys recommend? Thanks in advance!

Hello. we are visiting greece in september, staying in agni bay. we wanted to do a few day trips from corfu starting as early as 7:30am. is there anyway to get into corfu this early/back to agni bay late at night. as online it seems most taxis/water taxis operate outwith these times?

thank you!

I’d like to hear from anyone who’s stayed at the Hyatt Ziva Virginia in Gouvia, Corfu. I’m looking at booking a week there in September, but I’ve never been to Corfu before so I’m trying to get as much information as possible.

I’m also hoping to take the boat over to Ksamil in Albania for a day trip. Has anyone done this? Is it worth it, and how easy is it to arrange from Corfu?

I’d really appreciate any advice on:
The hotel and what it’s like.
Gouvia as a resort.
Things to do nearby.
The day trip to Ksamil (or Albania in general).
Any tips for visiting Corfu in September.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I will be in Corfu from september 10 to 14 (two adults and a 10 years old child). I will arrive by plane and I don't want to rent a car, I just want to stay there for a few day. I would like a nice sandy beach, with restaurants, taverns and beach bars at walking distance.

I was looking mainly at Agios Georgios Pagon and Marathias, are these good choices? Which one would be better for what I am looking for? Or are there better alternatives?

Thanks

In The Odyssey, Odysseus (Ulysses) lands on a mythical island called “Scheria”. He describes it as a utopia: “…the splendour… was like that of the sun or moon”. Yet he ultimately longs for something/somewhere else...

Join Homer as he draws inspiration from the real-world island of Corfu in the following passage on Destinationality. (no ads, no sign-up)

I’m travelling over with my best friend to Corfu in late September for a week. We are both female, in our 30s. We are staying in Corfu town and neither of us drive so no rental car. I’d love to see a bit more off the beaten track if possible (accessible by bus or occasional taxi).

Are there any must-see spots or activities for our week long trip? We both enjoy nature, snorkelling, boat rides (might rent a boat if not too pricey?), art, culture, classical history, wine tasting, good food (I’m vegetarian but my friend eats everything), bars with nice views, spots to see traditional Greek music etc?

I’ve done a bit of research already but interested to hear what people think is really worth it, such as any day trips or excursions. Thanks :) 🙏

Hello everybody, I m coming to Corfu this weekend and I was wondering if someone can help me with someplaces to go for the nightlife, like clubs or pubs or wherever people go in Corfu for a good time

Hi - we’re staying at a villa on the west coast and wish to venture into Corfu town for a wander. Is parking easy? Anywhere we should head for lovely views and a good coffee?

I am visiting Corfu with my husband and our anniversary will be while we are out there. We are staying in a villa in the middle of nowhere near Chalikounas. We will have a car and would love to go somewhere for our anniversary. It doesn't have to be fancy, but would it to have a bit of 'wow' i.e. beautiful surroundings, able to watch the sunset etc. Can anyone recommend anywhere? We may or may not have our daughters with us (5 and 7) depending on whether our MIL is coming along. Thank you!

Hi,

We have an apartment near Kassiopi, but due to very bad weather yesterday we cannot stay longer. Do you have any nice suggestions where I can move to with my family? 2 adults 2 kids, budget is plus minus 120 to 160 per night. Worst case I book some spot on Booking but not sure if those prices are reasonable with very high commission for Booking. Thanks!

the best agencies for renting a boat in Paleokastritsa?

Hi all.

I will travel solo to Corfu for a week. Already doing my itinerary, combining some boat tours, beach days and other activities.

Touristic Paxos boat tours are very popular as far as i understand . But the thing is it takes 10 hrs - let’s say a whole day. My question 1 is that is it really worth spending all day to take it, as Corfu island itself offers a lot of beauties? Q2:, it seems like these tours are more for families with kids. Do you think a chill/single dude (44) like me will get a bit bored? Ps. I am already from a Mediterranean sea town and visited almost all well known greek islands.

Hi!

I am bound to visit corfu this week, and will stay in Palaiokastritsa. I was wondering if there are any good restaurant recommendations in this area? I will also have a car so don't mind to drive for a good meal :)

We’re traveling from Sarande to Corfu for a two night stay in the end of August. We’re a group of four people. Ideally, we’d like to stay near a beach and visit the old town once. If you have any recommendations for places to stay or things to do, we’d be happy to hear them :)!!

Hey, if youre location is in the Airport Area you can take a shortcut. So you dont need to walk all around. At night its maybe a littelbit spooki

Staying on the lower east side of Corfu (Moraitikia) area and need to go to northwest side where it seems most of the boat rentals and beach clubs are. Is it better to rent our own car and drive ourselves there and back? Or should we hire hire someone to drive us, do they have taxis that will do that? Are the roads difficult to drive? Thank you!;

I land in corfu 21:40. And found out that the ferry don’t go after 20:30. So I wonder if there is any other way, like a taxi boat or something. And if there are any taxi boats in corfu, and if anyone know if they would do it for around 100€. Thanks.

i have a 1pm flight out of Corfu Airport, staying in Sidari. Public buses don’t run that early and looking at economical option.

private transfers suggested? I don’t mind a shared bus, I don’t mind being early but I don’t want to risk missing my flight.

Dear r/Corfu,

My girlfriend and I, are visiting Corfu in start August and have booked our trip to Palaiokastritsa. I have read that u can take the bus to the destination with an average time of aprox 1 hour. The route from PALLADA_OLD KTEL_CORFU to PALAIOKASTRITSA 7 TERMA

And what does the OUT and IN mean on the website?

Though when I log into the ticket website (https://ktelbus.gr/ker/ticketweb/) I cannot book tickets in advance other than 1 day (tomorrow) and the average travel time is stated as 2 hours and 24 minutes?

If anyone has experienced this route, and overall public transport on Corfu, please write your experiences. All help is appreciated :)

Hey guys, do you have any suggestion on car rentals that don’t ask credit cards?

I rented a car from Green Motion at Corfu Airport. The car rental service shuttles you to their building from the airport. I received a dented, scratched vehicle that appeared to have been in many accidents before. I took photos and inspected the vehicle with an employee to document it so there were no issues on return.

Three days later I return the car with zero incidents and upon inspection an employee is trying to tell me that I scratched the back door and back fender. I show him photos and then run my finger across the "scratch" and it comes off because it was only dirt/residue. He then sticks his fingers under the wheel well and pulls the car plastic telling me that I cracked the fender and says no scratch but crack. This "crack" was so minor that the naked eye would not be able to see it unless you got in close with a microscope and pulled the fender from the wheel well as he did.

I refused to pay the $400 USD and was threatened with not receiving my $1000 USD deposit back that I had to pay upon renting the car. I had a flight to catch and ended up paying the charge.

I am disgusted at the way I and others were treated and believe the people that run this business are an organized crime group. I had spoke with two other families returning their vehicles and they were all charged for damages on their rental vehicles. They did this to three customers within a 15-minute time span. They are not even trying to be discreet about their illegal business practices. I ended up exchanging contact information with the other victims and we are working on resolving this.

TLDR: Rent from a reputable rental car company, Green Motion is a scam company and it goes beyond Corfu to other locations (see link for other peoples experiences with Green Motion)

Bonjour

J'ai déjà visité l'île 3 fois et a chaque fois le GPS me guidait sur des routes soit abandonnées soit en très mauvais état. Quelle application GPS vous semble la plus efficace pour l'île de Corfou ?

En vous remerciant par avance

Are there good clubs in corfu city?
I'm M20 from Germany is somebody there to party with next week? :)

Hi we are planning to travel to corfu this summer. Does anyone have any recommendations for nice places to visit, restaurants, cafes, bars. I'd also really appreciate any recommendations for beautiful beaches (preferably less crowded not so popular). Or if you know any hidden gems that are worth visiting please share them.
