Hi everyone! My partner and I are heading to Corfu soon with a small group of friends, but we’re hoping to sneak away for a little one-on-one time during the trip. We’ve heard about the Canal D’Amour and were wondering if it might make a good spot for a romantic date — maybe a walk, a swim, or even just to sit and take in the view.

Is it as picturesque and special as it sounds? Or is it more of a daytime photo-op spot?

We’d love to know if there’s a quieter time to go, any nearby tavernas for a cozy meal afterward, or anything else that would help us turn it into a memorable evening.

If you’ve been there with a partner — would you recommend it for a little getaway moment during a group trip? Appreciate any thoughts or tips!
 
Canal D’Amour is definitely worth a visit—especially for a romantic escape during your group trip! It is quite popular during the day (lots of people snapping photos), but if you go early in the morning or close to sunset, it takes on a totally different vibe—peaceful, golden, and a little magical. The rock formations are stunning, and the legend that couples who swim there will stay together forever adds a sweet touch.

There’s a walking path above the cove that’s perfect for quiet conversation and gorgeous views. For food, check out The Wave or Aquarius—both are nearby, cozy, and have great local dishes with a view of the sea.

If you're looking to stretch the moment, bring a towel, a small bottle of wine, and just sit on the rocks while the waves roll in. It’s a lovely, simple way to reconnect. Highly recommend it for a couple’s moment!

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.

Do you need a car in Corfu?

I'm thinking about visiting Corfu next spring, and I'm trying to decide whether it's worth renting a car or if it's easy enough to get around without one. I usually don't mind using public transportation, but I also don't want to miss out on some of the island's beautiful beaches, villages, and viewpoints if they're difficult to reach.

My plan is to spend a few days exploring Corfu Town, but I'd also like to visit places like Paleokastritsa and maybe a few smaller villages if time allows. Are the buses reliable in the spring, or does having a car make the trip much more enjoyable?

For those of you who have been to Corfu, what did you do? Would you rent a car again, or did you find other transportation options worked just fine? I'd love to hear your experiences before I start planning.

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 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.
