Although I had been exploring the possibility of visiting the Cyclades this summer, it might not work out. I have some friends on Corfu, and there might be a wedding that I have to go to (but even that is up in the air).

So, I thought I would gather some information just in case I end up there. What are your favorite things to do in Corfu? I have been before, but I haven't spent much time consecutively there. If I end up having to go to a wedding, I will be there for at least a few weeks, so I will have plenty of time. Last time I went I felt like all I did was visit people, which is fine, but I want to get out more this time around.

Corfu Town is beautiful for wandering, shopping and people watching. I love to catch the little road trains and whizz round the sights.

Corfu in Early Spring?

I’m planning a month-long trip to Greece this coming early spring and could use some advice. It’s my first time visiting, and with so much to see, I’m feeling overwhelmed. Family members have lots of opinions on where to go, and someone recently suggested Corfu, which has piqued my interest.

I’m already considering Athens, Mykonos, and Thessaloniki, maybe one or two more, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether Corfu is worth adding to the itinerary. Is early spring a good time to visit the island? Are there specific sights, experiences, or foods that shouldn’t be missed?

Also, how feasible is it to combine Corfu with the other places I’ve mentioned? Any tips for travel logistics, like ferries or flights, would be helpful.

Spending Two Days in Corfu?

I’m planning a short trip to Corfu and will have just two days to explore this beautiful island. I’d love your advice on how to make the most of my time there.

What are the must-see attractions or experiences for a first-time visitor? I’ve heard a lot about Corfu Town and its Venetian charm—are there specific spots I shouldn’t miss? I’m also interested in nature, so any recommendations for scenic views or beaches would be amazing.

Should I rent a car to get around, or is public transport enough for a short visit? And, of course, I can’t leave without trying some local food—any suggestions for authentic tavernas or must-try dishes?

Looking forward to hearing your tips and insights!

Learning About British Influence on Corfu

I'm planning a trip to Corfu and I'm particularly interested in learning about the British influence on the island. I've read that the British left a significant mark on Corfu during their rule in the 19th century, and I'd love to explore this aspect of the island's history.

Can anyone recommend specific historical sites, museums, or landmarks that highlight the British presence in Corfu? Are there particular buildings or areas in Corfu Town that showcase British architecture or influence?

I'm also interested in any guided tours or local experts who specialize in this topic. Additionally, any tips on literature or resources that provide a deeper understanding of this period in Corfu's history would be greatly appreciated.

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

Best Beaches in Corfu for Swimming?

I am looking for recommendations on the best beaches for swimming. I’m particularly interested in spots with clear, calm waters and beautiful surroundings. Whether it's a popular beach or a hidden gem, I’d love to hear your favorites!

Are there any specific beaches that are known for their pristine waters or great swimming conditions? Also, any tips on avoiding crowded spots during peak season would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!
