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!
 

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.

Corfu beaches locals actually go to?

I’m starting to think seriously about a trip to Corfu, and I’d love some local insight before I get too deep into planning.

When I travel, I’m much more drawn to places that feel lived-in rather than curated for visitors. I’m not really looking for beach clubs, rows of umbrellas, or spots chosen mainly because they photograph well. What I love most are beaches where locals actually spend time, like places you might stop at after work, go with family on a Sunday, or return to year after year without much fuss.

Are there beaches in Corfu that still feel like that? Maybe quieter coves, less obvious stretches of sand, or spots that don’t show up on every “top ten” list? I’m happy to trade amenities for atmosphere. I’d really appreciate hearing which beaches locals gravitate toward.

Information about Kavos in Corfu?

I'm thinking of heading to Corfu later this summer and came across Kavos as a potential base. I’ve seen really mixed things online — some say it’s party central, while others mention beautiful beaches and a surprisingly relaxed vibe if you go off-season or stay on the edges of town.

I’m not looking for hardcore nightlife, but I do enjoy a lively atmosphere, great food, and easy beach access. I’ll probably rent a car, so day trips are an option. Can anyone share firsthand experiences of staying in Kavos? Is it possible to enjoy it without being in the middle of the club scene? Is it worth it?

Corfu Itinerary for 3 Days?

It’s been quite a few years since I last visited Corfu, and I’m thinking of spending a few days there the next time I’m in Greece. I remember loving the island’s mix of Venetian charm, lush green hills, and crystal-blue beaches, but it’s been so long that I feel like I need a refresher!

If you had 3 full days in Corfu, how would you plan your itinerary? I’d love a balance of history, nature, and relaxation, maybe one day exploring Corfu Town and its fortresses, another out in the villages or countryside, and a day by the sea. I’m especially interested in beautiful coastal drives, local food spots, and any hidden gems that don’t feel overly touristy. What do you think?

Favorite Walks Around Corfu Town

I might end up going to Corfu on a future trip to Greece, and Corfu Town looks like the kind of place that would be great to explore on foot.

One of my favorite things to do when visiting somewhere new is simply walk around and see what I come across. I love to explore!

So I’m curious, what are some of your favorite walks around Corfu Town? Are there particular streets, routes, or areas that you especially enjoyed wandering through? I’d love to hear about any spots that make for a really nice walk.
