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.

 
For most of the popular beaches in Greece, it's a good idea to go early and get set up, otherwise you might not get a prime spot - they get busy. This is good advice!
 

Nightlife Advice for Corfu

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.

Visiting Corfu for Christmas

I’ll be visiting family in Corfu this Christmas, and I’m really excited to experience the island during the holiday season! While I’ve been to Corfu in the summer, this will be my first time there in winter, and I’m curious to know if there are any special traditions, events, or activities that happen around Christmas.

Are there any unique Corfiot customs I should be aware of? I’ve heard a little about the island’s Venetian influence and wonder if it shapes how Christmas is celebrated there. Also, are there any Christmas markets, concerts, or festive foods that I shouldn’t miss while I’m there?

I’d love to hear about any must-see spots or local celebrations to add to my itinerary. If you have any tips for experiencing a warm and authentic Corfiot Christmas, please share!

Visiting the Castles on Corfu

I’m planning a trip to Corfu and am particularly excited about exploring the island’s castles and fortresses. I’ve heard there are some incredible historical sites like the Old Fortress and the New Fortress in Corfu Town, but I’d love to hear more about them and any other castles that are worth visiting.

Does anyone have recommendations on the best way to explore these sites? Are there guided tours that provide a lot of historical context, or is it better to explore on your own? I’m also curious about any hidden spots or lesser-known castles around the island that I shouldn’t miss. Thank you!
