I might visit Corfu this year and I love the beach. Are is a list of beaches:

- Sidari Beach
- Corfu Beach
- Agios Spiridon Beach
- Angelokastro Beach
- Paleokastritsa Beach

I know next to nothing about these beaches. Which are good? Did I miss any? If I only had time for a few of these, which would you choose?

Mirtiotissa is my favorite beach with a monastery of the same name. If you want a really nice tour of the monastery, visit in the morning or late afternoon, avoiding the traditional siesta time.

Paleokastritsa Beach and its monastery is a must see, but will be full of tourists. The boat ride into the caves is special too. However after you visit Paleokastritsa, I’d recommend driving up the Lakones road towards Krini for the Byzantine Angelokastro and stupendous views. There are numerous cafes along this road. If you get there at a quiet moment without tour buses, the balcony of The Golden Fox offers great views, drinks & meals, rooms and a swimming pool.

Mirtiotissa is more removed from the beaten path because at least as of my last visit, buses couldn’t get down to it and even after you park your car, there’s a bit of a walk down and back up.

Corfu sounds like such a parade! Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions. When I make it to Corfu some day, I will keep some of these in mind - I love getting suggestions from people who know what is going on.
 

Beautiful Easter ceremonies on the island of Corfu

For Greeks all over the country, Easter is a very special time to be with family and celebrate with your entire community. There are so many special traditions in all of the unique pockets and areas of Greece...these are some traditions that you will see on the island of Corfu. They are so beautiful, and I would love the opportunity to visit the island during the holidays. Are there any other islands that are a must visit during easter?


How to eat authentic food in Corfu, Greece!

Nothing is better than trying out authentic Greek food in Corfu. The best thing you can do, is make friends with locals and try out some local dishes like sofrito, pastitsada, and savoro. Like many different foods in Greece, Corfu has some of the best and freshest seafood so I highly recommend trying out any seafood dishes!! Let me know if you like this video :)

Check out Casa Parlente in Corfu

This is one of the best places to visit when in Corfu! I highly recommend visiting this 19th century mansion that shows you history in a super unique way. The museum has animatronic figures inside, so it can be a little creepy lol. I don't recommend taking small children to visit, they might get spooked. The museum is right by the water so its great for a short visit and then a stroll

Nissaki beach is a must visit in Corfu!

Nissaki beach is amazing! It is a small secluded beach that has very clear blue water and white smooth sand with small pebbles. I really recommend it for anyone that is interested in a quieter beach. I do recommend going earlier in the morning to reserve a beach chair, as you can see there aren't many chairs so they fill up quickly. There is also parking right above the beach, but it will also fill up pretty quickly.
