I'm curious about the nightlife scene on Corfu. I've heard it's a beautiful place with plenty of daytime activities, but I'm wondering if there's also a good selection of bars, clubs, or evening entertainment to enjoy after dark. Are there any specific areas or towns on Corfu known for having lively nightlife? I'm particularly interested in places where locals and tourists mix, and where I can experience authentic Greek vibes as well as some modern options.

Any recommendations for must-visit spots or tips on the best time to go out would be really helpful. I'm also open to suggestions for more laid-back evening activities, like live music or beach bars, or something like that. I am getting a feel for the vibe.
 
Corfu has a vibrant nightlife that caters to both energetic party-goers and those seeking a more laid-back vibe. For a lively scene, head to Kavos in the south, known for its bustling clubs and bars where you can dance the night away. If you prefer a mix of locals and tourists with an authentic Greek atmosphere, Corfu Town is your best bet. The Liston area offers charming cafes and bars, while the old town's narrow streets are filled with cozy spots that often have live music.

For a more relaxed evening, check out beach bars like Pazuzu at Glyfada Beach or 7th Heaven in Peroulades, where you can enjoy cocktails with stunning sunset views. Most places start buzzing around 10 PM, so aim for a late start. Whether you’re into clubs or chill beach vibes, Corfu has something for everyone!
 

Visiting Old Perithia in Corfu Advice

I’m planning a trip to Corfu and came across Old Perithia, the island’s oldest village nestled on the slopes of Mount Pantokrator. The idea of exploring a 14th-century village with its stone houses and Venetian architecture sounds fascinating. I’ve read that it was once a refuge from pirate attacks and malaria, and now stands as a protected heritage site with about 130 houses and eight churches .

I’m curious about what to expect when visiting. Are there specific spots within the village that are must-sees? I’ve heard there are several tavernas offering traditional Corfiot dishes—any recommendations on which ones to try? Also, is it worth hiking up to Mount Pantokrator from the village? I understand it’s about a 1.5-hour trek each way and offers panoramic views of Corfu and even glimpses of Italy on clear days .

Any tips or personal experiences about visiting Old Perithia would be greatly appreciated!

Food Lovers Tips for Corfu?

Hey everyone! I’m heading to Corfu soon and would love some recommendations from fellow food lovers. I’m especially interested in authentic local dishes, must-visit tavernas, and any hidden gems where I can enjoy traditional Corfiot cuisine.

What are the absolute must-try foods on the island? I’ve heard about pastitsada and sofrito—any favorite spots to try them? Also, are there any small, family-run tavernas that serve amazing home-cooked meals?

I’d also love suggestions for the best seafood restaurants, bakeries, and markets for fresh local ingredients. Bonus points for places with great views or a cozy atmosphere!

Lastly, any unique food experiences—like olive oil or wine tastings, cooking classes, or farm-to-table dining—would be amazing to check out.

Looking forward to your recommendations! Thanks in advance.

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!

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.

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
