I was thinking of visiting Corfu over summer of 2024 and I am not sure how many days to stay. I was thinking that three days is a good amount, and that will enable me to visit other places in Greece (and other people - I have friends and family to visit).

Anyway 3 or 4 days really is ideal. But now, what to do? I have been watching a lot of content - there is some great travel content on YouTube and people love to visit Greece. Anyway, here is a great video:

 
Here are my thoughts for spending three days in Corfu. That video is great, by the way!

Day 1: Head to the Achilleion Palace after breakfast. It's a palace built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria. Here, you can admire the beautiful gardens and enjoy the scenic views of the sea. Next, visit the Corfu Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and explore its narrow streets, ancient walls, and historic churches. End your day with a relaxing stroll along the Spianada, the largest square in Greece, and enjoy a refreshing drink in one of the many cafes and bars nearby.

Day 2: Start by taking a cable car to the top of Mount Pantokrator, the highest point in Corfu, and enjoy the breathtaking views from the summit. Next, head to the Palaiokastritsa Beach, where you can rent a boat and explore the beautiful coastline. End your day by watching a traditional Greek dance show and indulge in some delicious local cuisine.

Day 3: Start your day by relaxing at the Glyfada Beach, one of the best beaches in Corfu. Here, you can sunbathe, swim, and enjoy the beautiful turquoise waters. After that, head to the Sidari Village, where you can admire the famous Canal d'Amour and its stunning rock formations. Finish your day with a visit to the Corfu Beer Brewery, where you can learn about the brewing process, taste some delicious beer, and enjoy the beautiful sunset views from the brewery.

These are just some thoughts. There's so much you can do!
 
This great advice thank you - I will look into it!
 

Information about Corfu Public Transport?

I’m planning a trip to Corfu and trying to decide whether I need to rent a car or if public transportation will be enough to get around. I know I can look up schedules myself, but what I really want to hear is first-hand experiences from people who have actually used the buses in Corfu.

Are they reliable and frequent, or should I expect long waits and delays? Do they run late into the evening, or will I be stranded if I stay out too late? Also, are some areas of the island better to stay in if I want to rely on buses rather than a car?

I don’t mind renting a car if I really need to, but I’d love to avoid it if public transportation is decent. Any insights or tips from those who have been there? 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!

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.

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!

Top Archaeological Sites in Corfu?

I know Corfu has a unique blend of influences, from the ancient Greeks and Romans to the Venetians, and I’d love to visit some great places.

Could anyone recommend the must-see archaeological sites or historical locations in Corfu? I’ve heard a bit about the Old Fortress in Corfu Town and the Temple of Artemis, but I’m sure there are other gems that shouldn’t be missed. Also, are there any smaller, lesser-known sites off the beaten path that are worth visiting for someone who loves history? Thanks so much!
