About Corfu

Text
This popular, emerald-green isle is a classic crowd-pleaser with something for everyone. Miles of sun-kissed sands, friendly locals and plenty of places to party add up to the classic holiday package. Night owls have been flocking to Kavos and Sidari for years, while elegant Corfu Town's the place to go for a pinch of history and dash of nightlife chic. Bit of a beach bum? Soft white sand and warm blue waters come as standard here – try the tranquil pace of Agios Ioannis on for size. Away from the buzz of the beach resorts, there’s a beautiful countryside studded with olive groves all set for exploring too.

Still going strong

Corfu has been a favourite with Brits since the 1980s and its popularity shows no sign of waning. Sun-seekers continue to head to the beaches of Sidari, and Kavos still thrums to the sound of party beats. The cultural sites are a magnet for history lovers looking to uncover Corfu’s past, but don’t miss a stroll around cosmopolitan Corfu Town.

Beautiful beaches

Corfu’s beaches are some of the best in Greece, especially the ones along the west coast where the golden sands are at their softest. Many of the beaches are nice and wide so there’s plenty of room for everyone. The sand is golden; the sea glistens, and the surrounding scenery is second to none.

A rural retreat

Away from the coast, Corfu is surprisingly green, with hillsides carpeted in olive groves. In the more remote corners of the island, the locals still celebrate the changing seasons with religious festivals and fairs. Despite being home to a handful of lively resorts, you’ll also find Corfu a peaceful place for a relaxing retreat.

Beaches

You’ll find golden sands galore at the beaches surrounding Sidari, Acharavi and St George South. Sink your toes into unspoiled stretches on the island and top spots for windsurfing and other active watersports, too. Take a seat and stay long enough to watch the sun go down on these glorious patches.

Sights

A day trip to Corfu Town is a must. The UNESCO-listed Old Town dates back to 8th century BC, and comes with two forts, a clutch of medieval churches and plenty of leafy squares. See beyond to museums, palaces and castles too – it’s like a chapter from a history book.

Activities

For water-based fun away from the sea, there’s a wild waterpark complete with slides of all shapes and sizes, plus one awesome wave pool! But if getting active is at the top of your list, there are plenty of islands to explore by boat trip or biking route.

Eating and drinking (beaches)

Follow your nose into one of the waterfront or hillside tavernas and you’ll discover a wealth of Greek treats. Two Corfiot delicacies to look out for are pasta dish pastitsada, as well as sofrito – beef cooked in white wine sauce. You’ll find some great eateries serving international dishes, too.

Nightlife

Kavos is the island’s party capital, with a club-packed strip and pumping beachfront bars. Sidari and Acharavi offer more family-friendly fun, with karaoke nights and tribute acts. For a laid-back evening of people-watching, bag yourself a table at one of the outdoor bars in Corfu Town’s main square.
