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.
 

Favorite Walks Around Corfu Town

I might end up going to Corfu on a future trip to Greece, and Corfu Town looks like the kind of place that would be great to explore on foot.

One of my favorite things to do when visiting somewhere new is simply walk around and see what I come across. I love to explore!

So I’m curious, what are some of your favorite walks around Corfu Town? Are there particular streets, routes, or areas that you especially enjoyed wandering through? I’d love to hear about any spots that make for a really nice walk.

What are the most interesting hidden streets in Corfu's Old Town?

I might be visiting Corfu next year, and one of the things I'm most excited about is exploring the Old Town. I've seen pictures of the narrow streets, colorful buildings, little squares, and Venetian architecture, and it looks like the kind of place where I could happily spend hours wandering around.

I'm especially interested in finding some of the quieter streets and hidden corners that aren't necessarily on the usual tourist routes. I love discovering little shops, traditional cafes, interesting architecture, and places that give you a sense of everyday life on the island.

For those who have spent time exploring Corfu's Old Town, are there any particular streets, neighborhoods, or tucked-away spots you would recommend? I'm not necessarily looking for major attractions, although I wouldn't mind stumbling across a few!

I'd love to hear about any favorite discoveries or places worth seeking out!

Best Sunset Spot on Corfu?

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!

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.

Best areas to stay in Corfu for first-time visitors?

I’m looking for some advice on where a first-time visitor to Corfu might enjoy staying, because I’m oddly stuck on what to recommend.

I’ve been to Corfu many times and know the island pretty well, but that’s almost the problem—I’m so familiar with it that I’m not sure what makes the most sense for someone seeing it for the first time. A friend of mine is planning their first trip, and they’ve asked me where they should base themselves.

Would you steer a first-timer toward Old Town for the history and atmosphere, or is it better to stay near a beach area like Paleokastritsa, Glyfada, or Agios Gordios? How important is having a car for these areas, and are there spots that balance scenery, walkability, and easy day trips?

I’d love to hear what you’d recommend to someone who wants a classic Corfu experience without feeling overwhelmed or isolated.
