Holiday in Corfu

Beaches in Corfu

Beaches in Corfu

Corfu’s beaches are composed of shingle, white pebbles and golden sand, so check out what you prefer, and be careful to pack your footwear. They are also some of the finest beaches in Greece, with 31 designated as Blue Flag. Water sports such as canoeing, water-skiing and parasailing are all available at the more developed beaches, and chairs and sunbeds are for rent. The many bars and cafes here ensure that refreshments are always at hand.

A self catering villa lets you play in the popular areas, or seek out the more isolated spots on the island. If you want a little more seclusion, explore some of the out of the way coves, and you may discover a small taverna, overlooking an almost luminescent, smooth white pebble beach and clear warm water that feels like satin when you swim.

Some beaches are especially favoured by families. San Stefanos and Arilas have gently sloping, sandy beaches and shallow water, so great for families with kids. Quieter than other beaches, both offer sunbed rentals as well as watersports. If you are there late in the afternoon, a walk along the headland from Agios Stefanos to Arilas will reward you with fine views and a splendid sunset.

Trekking Corfu Trail

Trekking Corfu Trail

Corfu’s beauty may be best appreciated from the recently restored Corfu Trail. Traversing a constantly changing panorama of shoreline, valley and mountainside, the trail traces a path of 125 miles, from the south to the north of the island and joins together the most beautiful and remote parts of Greece's most fertile island.

Avoiding heavily developed areas, it meanders through diverse landscapes, up and over mountain slopes, down through olive groves, along lonely beaches and through picturesque villages. The trail covers all kinds of terrain, from high mountain tracks, secluded beaches, groves of ancient olive trees, lemon and orange orchards and dense forest. Old monasteries, ancient villages and country churches reflect the way of lie in times gone by.

Not everyone is up for such a long trek, and to accommodate the casual hiker, paths have been cleared and way-marked with yellow signs. There are 11 daily walks and terrain varies, from rough tracks to cobbled mule paths, minor roads and beaches. The best months to follow the trail are from February to June and from September to November.

Entertainment in Corfu

Entertainment in Corfu

Corfu is one of the most popular Greek islands. It is, however, possible to find many places still untouched by mass tourism and the accompanying crowds. Corfu has something to offer everyone from the lively nightlife of Kos to excellent sandy beaches and rugged mountains. The busy capital, Corfu Town, is rich in Venetian architecture and legacies of British rule while inland you will find sleepy hamlets unchanged by the passage of time.

Where you play in Corfu depends on your tastes and, perhaps, your age and family status. Most holiday resorts on Corfu offer a broad range of nightlife with an array of discos, bars, snack bars and tavernas. If you prefer the quieter life, tiny fishing villages provide a complete contrast.

A variety of excursions is offered. A day at Aqualand, the second largest waterpark in Europe, will thrill and spill adults and children alike with slides and rides and other activities. A boat trip to Paxos and Parga is highly recommended. Parga is a beautiful little town of coloured houses with big sandy beach and clear water.

And of course, while enjoying the pleasures of Corfu, you have to eat, and this is a treat unto itself. Corfiot cuisine is neither spicy nor bland, but rich in the flavours of the Mediterranean. Specialties consist of local ingredients found on the island, especially olives, lemons, vegetables, tomatoes and fish. Many dishes hark back to the days when cooks put all the ingredients in a single pot and left it to simmer all day.

Favourite dishes are pastitsada, sofrito and moussaka, often preceded with an ouzo aperitif and accompanied by local wine. Everything that comes to your table is fresh: fish and lobster in the coastal villages, and deliciously prepared game in the mountain region.

To satisfy a sweet tooth, try kum-kwat, mantoles (walnuts covered with caramel) and white and black Corfiot mantolata (nougat). The local honey is exquisite by itself, but reaches heavenly heights in baklava: layers of fila pastry with chopped nuts and honey.

Corfu Tourist Information Guide is the way to discover this Greek gem. Corfu beaches are part of the Blue Flag Beaches in Greece and offer its visitors many comforts and many options for action! For example, parasailing in Corfu is scary for some, while windsurfing in Kos is challenging for most. A great way to tour Corfu is actually on foot by trekking Corfu Trail. To find a new perspective, take a boat ride to Paxos, or experience in the nightlife in Kos. No matter your plans, a holiday in Corfu will satisfy you.
