Best Sunset Spot on Corfu?

[mj_toronto8]

I'm hoping to visit Corfu in late summer, and one thing I'd really love to do is spend an evening watching the sunset from a café or taverna. I'm not necessarily looking for the biggest tourist hotspot. I'd much rather find a place where I can relax, enjoy a good meal or a glass of wine, and take in the view without feeling rushed.

If you've been to Corfu, where would you recommend? Are there any restaurants, tavernas, or waterfront cafés with particularly beautiful sunset views? I'm happy to drive if it's worth it, and I don't mind venturing outside Corfu Town if there are quieter spots with amazing scenery.

I'd also love to hear whether reservations are a good idea for sunset dining in late summer, or if it's usually easy enough to find a table. Thanks for any recommendations!

I would definitely look toward the west or northwest side of Corfu for this. Afionas sounds especially close to what you’re looking for. It’s a beautiful village with several restaurants overlooking the sea, and Anemos is known for its terrace and sunset views over Arillas Bay and the Diapontia Islands.

Pelekas is another great option. The whole area is famous for sunsets, especially around Kaiser’s Throne, and Alexandros has a terrace overlooking the sea where you can have traditional Greek and Corfiot food while watching the sunset.

I’d make a reservation if you have your heart set on a particular restaurant or a table with the best view. Late summer is still busy, and sunset tables naturally go first. Afionas would probably be my first choice for a quieter, more relaxed evening.
