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!

Budget Travel Tips Corfu

I’m hoping to visit Corfu soon and would love any tips on how to keep costs down while still getting a great experience. I’m not looking for luxury—just authentic, beautiful, and budget-friendly. Are there certain areas of the island that are more affordable to stay in than others? I’ve looked at hostels and guesthouses, but I’m open to any recommendations.

Also wondering about food—are there good spots where locals eat that don’t charge tourist prices? I’d love to try traditional Corfiot dishes without breaking the bank. Any favorite bakeries, markets, or tavernas?

How about getting around the island? I probably won’t rent a car unless it’s really necessary. Can I rely on buses, or is walking between villages/beaches doable in any areas?

Would really appreciate any advice, especially from those who’ve traveled Corfu on a budget recently. Thanks so much in advance!

Information Needed on Canal D'Amor for a Date

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!

West vs East Corfu Beaches?

I’m planning a trip to Corfu for early next summer (probably June) and I’ve started looking into beaches, but I’m a little stuck deciding which side of the island to focus on. From what I’ve read, the west coast has dramatic cliffs and sunsets, while the east coast is more sheltered and calm.

I love swimming, relaxing in the sun, and exploring a few little coves or hidden spots if possible. I’m not much into party beaches, but I do enjoy a nice taverna nearby! I’ll probably rent a car for a few days, so I’m open to bouncing around, but would love to get advice on where to base myself.

Which do you personally prefer, west or east Corfu beaches, and why? Are there beaches on one side that just blew you away? Thanks so much!

List of My Favorite Places to Visit in Corfu

I have been seeing a lot of people asking about Corfu lately and I love that island! I thought I would share my top 5 favorite spots to visit in Corfu. Maybe this can help people plan!
  1. Corfu Old Town – A UNESCO World Heritage site, this area is full of Venetian-style alleys, historic buildings, and lively squares. The Old and New Fortresses offer incredible views, and the Liston Promenade is perfect for a coffee stop.
  2. Paleokastritsa – This coastal area has some of the most stunning beaches in Corfu, with clear blue waters and hidden caves. A boat tour is the best way to explore, and the monastery above the bay offers fantastic views.
  3. Achilleion Palace – Built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria, this palace is dedicated to Achilles and features beautiful gardens and impressive sculptures.
  4. Canal d’Amour (Sidari) – Known for its unique rock formations and crystal-clear waters, this is a great place to swim. There’s also a local legend that couples who swim through the canal will stay together forever.
  5. Mount Pantokrator – The highest point in Corfu, with panoramic views of the island and even Albania on clear days. The drive up is scenic, and the monastery at the top adds a historical touch.

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!
