I'm planning a trip to Corfu and am really interested in exploring some local wineries while I'm there. I've heard that Corfu has a fantastic wine culture and I'd love to experience it firsthand.

Can anyone recommend the best wineries to visit in Corfu? I'm particularly interested in places that offer tours and tastings, and where I can learn about the history and production processes. Any hidden gems or must-visit spots would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

You're in for a treat! Corfu has some fantastic wineries and wine tasting experiences. I highly recommend visiting Theotoky Estate, known for its organic wines and beautiful surroundings. Another great spot is the Ambelonas Corfu Vineyard, where you can enjoy tastings paired with local delicacies. Try Kakotrygis and Skopelitiko wines, unique to the region. For guided tours, Corfu Wine Tours offers excellent packages that cover several vineyards and include tastings and food pairings.
 

Top Archaeological Sites in Corfu?

I know Corfu has a unique blend of influences, from the ancient Greeks and Romans to the Venetians, and I’d love to visit some great places.

Could anyone recommend the must-see archaeological sites or historical locations in Corfu? I’ve heard a bit about the Old Fortress in Corfu Town and the Temple of Artemis, but I’m sure there are other gems that shouldn’t be missed. Also, are there any smaller, lesser-known sites off the beaten path that are worth visiting for someone who loves history? Thanks so much!

Paleokastritsa, summer 2025

Hi everyone

I have just joined this site to see if I can get some Corfu travel tips or maybe even meet some other people heading to Corfu next summer.
I am 53, from Derby, England, and I've decided to have a month's RnR in Paleokastritsa.
I'd be really keen to hear from anyone with any tips or insight into the area, life in Corfu, how I might be able to meet people and things to see and do. I'm thinking of hiring a moped to get around, do lots of reading, relaxing, hiking, eating and (a bit of) drinking! Most of all, reflecting and enjoying the environment - and the sunshine! I need to take some time to indulge in this.

What is Paleokastritsa like? From all of my research, it seems to be a good mix of quiet and lively (ie. not party town but also not completely dead). Are there restuarants there which aren't too expensive? Are there any good, chill out bars which stay open late? Also, are there ways to meet other travellers out there or is there anyone on here heading to Corfu next summer who'd be interested in connecting beforehand? It'd be really cool to build a little online community, if there was anyone in a similar position, even if they're going to a different part of the island.

Anyway, that's why I joined this site - to meet any others but also to find out about Corfu and paleokasistra. I'd love to hear from any of you!
All the best,
Neil

Information about Corfu Public Transport?

I’m planning a trip to Corfu and trying to decide whether I need to rent a car or if public transportation will be enough to get around. I know I can look up schedules myself, but what I really want to hear is first-hand experiences from people who have actually used the buses in Corfu.

Are they reliable and frequent, or should I expect long waits and delays? Do they run late into the evening, or will I be stranded if I stay out too late? Also, are some areas of the island better to stay in if I want to rely on buses rather than a car?

I don’t mind renting a car if I really need to, but I’d love to avoid it if public transportation is decent. Any insights or tips from those who have been there? Thanks in advance!

Visiting the Castles on Corfu

I’m planning a trip to Corfu and am particularly excited about exploring the island’s castles and fortresses. I’ve heard there are some incredible historical sites like the Old Fortress and the New Fortress in Corfu Town, but I’d love to hear more about them and any other castles that are worth visiting.

Does anyone have recommendations on the best way to explore these sites? Are there guided tours that provide a lot of historical context, or is it better to explore on your own? I’m also curious about any hidden spots or lesser-known castles around the island that I shouldn’t miss. Thank you!

Best Scenic Views in Corfu?

I’m a huge fan of scenic views and would love to hear your recommendations for the best spots to enjoy the natural beautify of Corfu.

Whether it’s a hidden viewpoint, a stunning beach with crystal-clear waters, or a charming village with panoramic views, I’m all ears! I'm also interested in hearing about any great spots for watching the sunset or places that offer a unique perspective of Corfu's coastline and lush greenery.

If you have any favorite lookout points, restaurants with a view, or even hiking trails that offer breathtaking scenery, I’d greatly appreciate your suggestions!
