My daughter who is 20 wants to go on vacation with her friends in Corfu for the first week of September. She wants to live it up after a sad two years of quarantine and not being able to leave the country. Where is the best place for a young and fun loving girl trip?
 
Corfu is an amazing Greek island and there are different areas and things to do based on your daughters interests.

Here are a few Corfu travel guide/resources to review with her to figure out which region is better:

With the passage of time the island may have changed, but we can still feel the spirit of a distant glorious past. Its rich multi-cultural heritage, its historic monuments, its stunning natural landscape, its crystal clear seas, and its excellent...

Corfu is an excellent choice! I like Corfu because there is a lot to do, not just beaches and nightlife.

What made you fall in love with Corfu?

Those of you who have been to Corfu, I am curious. What made you fall in love with it? My wife and I are thinking of going. We love the Greek culture and Greece and have never been. I've been experimenting cooking Greek food. We love to go out for Greek food!

Goal is to do a food tour of Greece, but Corfu really catches our eye as a great destination. I would love to hear what you think of it. We want to experience the culture! We have at least 3 nights to spend there before we move on to somewhere else in Greece.

What is Corfu like in September?

I’ve been thinking about visiting Corfu in September instead of the middle of summer, and I was curious what it’s actually like that time of year. I’ve heard mixed things from people. Some say September is the perfect balance because the weather is still warm but the crowds start to calm down a bit, while others say certain places begin slowing down after August.

For anyone who has been there in September, how was your experience? Was the water still warm enough for swimming? Were restaurants, beach bars, and boat tours still operating normally? I’m also wondering if the island still feels lively or if it becomes noticeably quieter.

I’d probably be going sometime in the first half of September if I do go. Would you recommend it over July or August? Any advice or experiences would really help while I’m trying to plan.

Advice Needed - North Corfu vs. South Corfu

I'm thinking about visiting Corfu either this summer or next year, and I'm trying to decide whether I'd prefer staying in the northern or southern part of the island.

From what I've read, North Corfu seems to have dramatic scenery, picturesque villages, and places like Paleokastritsa and Sidari. On the other hand, South Corfu sounds quieter, less crowded, and maybe a bit more relaxed overall.

I enjoy beautiful beaches, local tavernas, scenic drives, and wandering through villages, but I'm not really looking for a nightlife-focused trip. I'd rather experience the island at a slower pace and get a feel for the local atmosphere.

For those who have visited Corfu, which part of the island did you prefer and why? If you were planning your first trip, would you stay in the north, the south, or split your time between both? I'd love to hear your recommendations.

Is the New Fortress Worth the Climb?

I’m planning a trip to Corfu and trying to decide which sights in Corfu Town are really worth making time for. The New Fortress keeps coming up, but I’m wondering how much of a climb it actually is and whether the views at the top make it worthwhile.

For anyone who has visited, how strenuous did you find it? I don’t mind walking, but if it’s a long uphill climb in the heat, I’d probably want to plan it for earlier in the day.

I’m especially interested in the views over Corfu Town, the harbor, and the surrounding area. Is there much to see inside the fortress itself, or is the main appeal the scenery and history?

Would you recommend visiting the New Fortress if I only have limited time in Corfu Town, or are there other sights you would prioritize first?

Hiking trails on Corfu?

I’m starting to look more seriously at Corfu for a future trip, and one thing that really appeals to me is the landscape. The island seems greener than many other parts of Greece, and I’ve heard there are some beautiful hiking opportunities with coastal views, hills, and even mountain scenery.

I’d love to include a few hikes in my itinerary, but I’m not sure where to start. Are there particular trails that stand out for scenery or overall experience? I’ve come across mentions of the Corfu Trail, but I’m also curious about shorter routes that could be done in half a day.

For those who have hiked there, how difficult are the trails generally? Any recommendations for specific areas, viewpoints, or routes that are especially memorable?
Also interested in practical tips, best seasons, footwear, or things to watch out for.

Would love to hear your experiences and suggestions!
