My partner and I are planning a romantic getaway to Corfu, Greece, and we're looking for some insider tips on the best experiences for couples. We've heard so much about Corfu's natural beauty and rich history, but we're hoping to tailor our itinerary to include activities that are especially romantic.

We're open to anything, whether it's relaxing on secluded beaches, exploring charming villages, enjoying candlelit dinners with stunning views, or embarking on adventurous excursions together. Ideally, we'd love to find a balance between leisurely, romantic moments and exciting adventures that we can share as a couple.

If you were us, what would you do while on the island?
 
I have never been to Corfu but I did some research to help you out:

1. Sunset at Cape Drastis: Make sure to visit Cape Drastis at sunset. The view is breathtaking, with cliffs plunging into the sea and the sun melting into the horizon. It's a serene spot that feels like it’s just you, your partner, and the vast beauty of nature.

2. Dinner in Old Corfu Town: The heart of Corfu beats in its old town. With its narrow, cobblestone streets and Venetian architecture, it offers a unique backdrop for a romantic dinner. Find a cozy taverna with a view of the Liston and enjoy local specialties under the stars.

3. Boat Trip to Paleokastritsa: Renting a small boat to explore the bays and caves of Paleokastritsa can be an exhilarating experience for couples. The water here is incredibly clear, and finding a secluded spot for swimming can add a touch of adventure to your romance.

4. Beach Day at Agios Gordios: This beach is perfect for couples looking for a mix of natural beauty and convenience. The sandy shore is surrounded by lush green cliffs, and there are plenty of loungers and umbrellas for rent. Stick around for the sunset – it’s spectacular here.

5. Visit Canal d’Amour: According to legend, couples who swim through this narrow channel will soon get married. Even if you're already married or not quite there yet, it's a beautiful site worth exploring, with stunning formations and clear blue waters.

Visiting Lixouri in Kefalonia?

I am planing to go to Kefalonia and want to stay in a town that has a lot going on but maybe isn't so big and overwhelming. I researched and thought maybe Lixouri was a candidate?

This will be my first time on Kefalonia and I am interested in any tips you can give, such as:
  • What are the must-see attractions in and around Lixouri?
  • Can you suggest any hidden gems that a tourist might typically overlook?
  • What's the best way to get around the town and to nearby sites?
  • Any advice on local dining spots or unforgettable culinary experiences?
  • I'm also interested in outdoor activities — are there any particular hikes or natural wonders not to be missed?
  • Lastly, if you have any tips on cultural etiquette or local customs, I’d love to hear about them!
Thank you!

The hike is a fantastic way to experience the island’s natural beauty and take in the serene atmosphere of Assos.

The national park offers various trails with different difficulty levels, each leading you through a unique landscape of Kefalonian fir trees and offering stunning views of the Ionian Sea.

Best beaches in Kefalonia for families?

I'm in the process of planning what I hope to be an unforgettable family vacation to the beautiful island of Kefalonia. With its stunning landscapes and inviting sea, I can't think of a better place to spend quality time with the family.

However, as we all know, not all beaches are created equal, especially when it comes to finding spots that are both beautiful and suitable for families. Factors like gentle waves, shallow waters, accessibility, and nearby facilities (such as restrooms and places to eat) can make all the difference in ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable day at the beach for both parents and kids.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations you might have for beaches that fit this bill. Our family loves a mix of adventures and relaxation, so suggestions for beaches with a bit of both would be fantastic. Are there any particular spots that have captured your heart due to their beauty, safety, and family-friendly amenities?

Turtles question about Kefalonia

I'm planning an upcoming trip to the beautiful island of Kefalonia and I've heard quite a bit about the turtles that can be seen around the island. 🐢💦

Being a wildlife lover, I'd be thrilled to catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat! I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate insights from those who have visited or are knowledgeable about the local wildlife:
  1. What is the best time of year to observe turtles in Kefalonia?
  2. Are there specific locations where sightings are more common?
  3. Do local conservation efforts support safe viewing that won't disrupt the turtles' natural behavior?
Anything you have to share will be helpful!
