Thanks for sharing!

Many people don't mind rocks and others need to have powder like sand! :)
 
Many of the beaches in Greece have these pebbles. It looks great!

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.

How expensive is Corfu?

I’m starting to look into Corfu for a possible trip and was curious how it compares cost-wise to other Greek islands. I’ve been hearing a lot lately about places like Santorini and Mykonos getting pretty expensive, especially in peak season, so I’m wondering if Corfu falls into that same category or if it’s a bit more reasonable.

From what I can tell so far, it seems like there might be a range depending on where you stay and when you go, but I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually been. Are accommodations and meals fairly affordable, or does it add up quickly?

First Impression of Corfu?

I was talking with a friend recently who’s been to Corfu many times, and it sparked an interesting question. It’s been over 30 years since his first visit, and he realized he can’t quite remember what his initial impression of the island was anymore. Not what he thinks of Corfu now, but how it landed the very first time.

That made me curious about other people’s experiences. Do you remember how Corfu felt to you on your first visit? Was it the landscape, the Old Town, the food, the pace of life, or something less tangible? Did it meet your expectations, or surprise you in some way?

When a place becomes familiar over time, those first reactions tend to blur or get overwritten by later memories. I’d love to hear from anyone who can still recall that first moment of arrival — what stood out, what confused you, or what made you want to come back.

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.

Liston Promenade - What to See?

I’m planning some time in Corfu Town and keep seeing the Liston Promenade mentioned as a must-see spot. I understand it’s one of the most well-known areas, but I’m trying to get a better sense of what to actually look for while I’m there.

Is it more about the atmosphere and architecture, or are there specific landmarks, cafés, or details that stand out? I’ve seen photos of the arcades and the open square nearby, but I don’t want to just pass through without really appreciating it.

Would you recommend going at a certain time of day to get the full experience? And are there any spots along the promenade that are easy to miss but worth noticing?
