I am visiting Corfu with my husband and our anniversary will be while we are out there. We are staying in a villa in the middle of nowhere near Chalikounas. We will have a car and would love to go somewhere for our anniversary. It doesn't have to be fancy, but would it to have a bit of 'wow' i.e. beautiful surroundings, able to watch the sunset etc. Can anyone recommend anywhere? We may or may not have our daughters with us (5 and 7) depending on whether our MIL is coming along. Thank you!

Hi,

We have an apartment near Kassiopi, but due to very bad weather yesterday we cannot stay longer. Do you have any nice suggestions where I can move to with my family? 2 adults 2 kids, budget is plus minus 120 to 160 per night. Worst case I book some spot on Booking but not sure if those prices are reasonable with very high commission for Booking. Thanks!

the best agencies for renting a boat in Paleokastritsa?

Hi all.

I will travel solo to Corfu for a week. Already doing my itinerary, combining some boat tours, beach days and other activities.

Touristic Paxos boat tours are very popular as far as i understand . But the thing is it takes 10 hrs - let’s say a whole day. My question 1 is that is it really worth spending all day to take it, as Corfu island itself offers a lot of beauties? Q2:, it seems like these tours are more for families with kids. Do you think a chill/single dude (44) like me will get a bit bored? Ps. I am already from a Mediterranean sea town and visited almost all well known greek islands.

Hi!

I am bound to visit corfu this week, and will stay in Palaiokastritsa. I was wondering if there are any good restaurant recommendations in this area? I will also have a car so don't mind to drive for a good meal :)

We’re traveling from Sarande to Corfu for a two night stay in the end of August. We’re a group of four people. Ideally, we’d like to stay near a beach and visit the old town once. If you have any recommendations for places to stay or things to do, we’d be happy to hear them :)!!

Hey, if youre location is in the Airport Area you can take a shortcut. So you dont need to walk all around. At night its maybe a littelbit spooki

Staying on the lower east side of Corfu (Moraitikia) area and need to go to northwest side where it seems most of the boat rentals and beach clubs are. Is it better to rent our own car and drive ourselves there and back? Or should we hire hire someone to drive us, do they have taxis that will do that? Are the roads difficult to drive? Thank you!;

I land in corfu 21:40. And found out that the ferry don’t go after 20:30. So I wonder if there is any other way, like a taxi boat or something. And if there are any taxi boats in corfu, and if anyone know if they would do it for around 100€. Thanks.

i have a 1pm flight out of Corfu Airport, staying in Sidari. Public buses don’t run that early and looking at economical option.

private transfers suggested? I don’t mind a shared bus, I don’t mind being early but I don’t want to risk missing my flight.

Dear r/Corfu,

My girlfriend and I, are visiting Corfu in start August and have booked our trip to Palaiokastritsa. I have read that u can take the bus to the destination with an average time of aprox 1 hour. The route from PALLADA_OLD KTEL_CORFU to PALAIOKASTRITSA 7 TERMA

And what does the OUT and IN mean on the website?

Though when I log into the ticket website (https://ktelbus.gr/ker/ticketweb/) I cannot book tickets in advance other than 1 day (tomorrow) and the average travel time is stated as 2 hours and 24 minutes?

If anyone has experienced this route, and overall public transport on Corfu, please write your experiences. All help is appreciated :)

Hey guys, do you have any suggestion on car rentals that don’t ask credit cards?

I rented a car from Green Motion at Corfu Airport. The car rental service shuttles you to their building from the airport. I received a dented, scratched vehicle that appeared to have been in many accidents before. I took photos and inspected the vehicle with an employee to document it so there were no issues on return.

Three days later I return the car with zero incidents and upon inspection an employee is trying to tell me that I scratched the back door and back fender. I show him photos and then run my finger across the "scratch" and it comes off because it was only dirt/residue. He then sticks his fingers under the wheel well and pulls the car plastic telling me that I cracked the fender and says no scratch but crack. This "crack" was so minor that the naked eye would not be able to see it unless you got in close with a microscope and pulled the fender from the wheel well as he did.

I refused to pay the $400 USD and was threatened with not receiving my $1000 USD deposit back that I had to pay upon renting the car. I had a flight to catch and ended up paying the charge.

I am disgusted at the way I and others were treated and believe the people that run this business are an organized crime group. I had spoke with two other families returning their vehicles and they were all charged for damages on their rental vehicles. They did this to three customers within a 15-minute time span. They are not even trying to be discreet about their illegal business practices. I ended up exchanging contact information with the other victims and we are working on resolving this.

TLDR: Rent from a reputable rental car company, Green Motion is a scam company and it goes beyond Corfu to other locations (see link for other peoples experiences with Green Motion)

Bonjour

J'ai déjà visité l'île 3 fois et a chaque fois le GPS me guidait sur des routes soit abandonnées soit en très mauvais état. Quelle application GPS vous semble la plus efficace pour l'île de Corfou ?

En vous remerciant par avance

Are there good clubs in corfu city?
I'm M20 from Germany is somebody there to party with next week? :)

Hi we are planning to travel to corfu this summer. Does anyone have any recommendations for nice places to visit, restaurants, cafes, bars. I'd also really appreciate any recommendations for beautiful beaches (preferably less crowded not so popular). Or if you know any hidden gems that are worth visiting please share them.

Hey everybody.

We're arriving in Dassia, Corfu, in early August.

Does anyone know about any salsa/bachata/merengue/cumbia parties?

If so, where and when exactly?

Thanks.

Hello! I will be visiting Corfu next week for 10 days with my girlfriend. We will be staying 4 days in Acharavi, 5 days near Marathias Beach and the final day in Corfu Town. We enjoy drinking local craft beers wherever we go and was wondering where we can find beers from Seven Island Brewery. I’m checking restaurants menu’s but only really see the standard Greek beers like Alfa or beers from Corfu Brewery. These seem nice and I’ll definitely try those, but I’m also looking for the more ‘premium’ beers from Seven Island. I see they have their brewery near Corfu Town, but it’s labeled as temporarily closed. I’ve tried contacting them directly but unfortunately have gotten no response.

So my question, does anybody know where I could find those beers? Any specific restaurants, shops or supermarkets we could try visit, or maybe at the airport? We will be visiting Corfu town at the end of our trip so I’m mainly looking for places near our first two stays, but that might become very difficult

Any other recommendations (general or beer related) for the spots we are visiting are super welcome as well! Thank you

Any aspiring photographers willing to do a photos hoot for me I am planning to propose to my gf. Willing to pay for an hour or so of your time to do the photos.

Im visiting corfu and I wanna know if theres a local music scene or anything like that. I know there are a lot of covers and live music of stuff like abba but is there something else? It can also be stuff like techno or whatever.

It seems like most of the hotels a booked and they’re on the water, which is nice but we’re looking at a villa and most of them are in the mountains. One is closer in Dassia, but there’s a really matter if you have a car what area of the island you’re staying in?

English:
I just arrived in the Kanali area of Corfu and I am staying for 4 days. I want to visit the Old Town and various beaches, so I am wondering if it is worth renting a scooter for my entire stay. Is public transportation reliable enough to get around easily from Kanali, or is a scooter much better for the freedom to explore? Also, do u have any recommendations on how to rent a scooter to avoid tourist traps or overpaying? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Greek:
Μόλις έφτασα στην περιοχή Κανάλι της Κέρκυρας και θα μείνω για 4 ημέρες. Θέλω να επισκεφτώ την Παλιά Πόλη και διάφορες παραλίες, οπότε αναρωτιέμαι αν αξίζει να νοικιάσω ένα σκούτερ για όλη τη διαμονή μου. Είναι η δημόσια συγκοινωνία αρκετά αξιόπιστη για να μετακινούμαι εύκολα από το Κανάλι, ή είναι το σκούτερ πολύ καλύτερο για την ελευθερία που προσφέρει; Επίσης, έχετε κάποιες προτάσεις για το πώς να νοικιάσω ένα σκούτερ αποφεύγοντας τις τουριστικές παγίδες ή τις υπερβολικές τιμές; Κάθε συμβουλή θα ήταν πολύτιμη!

As the title says, we’d like to watch the match tomorrow but there seems to be few places that open late enough. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys i was wondering how friendly people are in corfu and since im going there this week and me and my friend want to meet a bunch of new people. Do people play football a lot?
