Beach Hopping in Corfu

Corfu's sun-kissed beaches and clear waters framed by lush green vegetation are among the best in Europe. The island has 57 beaches, with Agios Gordis, Glyfada, Paleokastritsa and Pelekas among the most famous. Agios Gordis, set near vine yards and olive orchards is scenic and perfect for sunbathing or swimming. Paleokastritsa is considered the prettiest beach around though and is favoured by tourists and kids alike. To the west, Glyfada and Pelekas are crowded but their soft sands and sparkling crystal clear waters, making the trek a rewarding experience.

There are plenty of options for a night out from terrace bars and cocktail bars to karaoke joints and beach clubs where you can down a drink and party late into the night. Happening O2 and Europa Bar offer a buzzing atmosphere that attracts tourists and locals alike.

Do the Corfu trail on 4x4s

Try out Corfiot cuisine

There are many tavernas across Corfu that serve delicious local cuisine as well as typical British fare. Try the slow-cooked sofrito or bourdeto or mezethes, or if you have a sweet tooth, you'll like phyllo pies or bougata. If you want to sample some of the island's fresh fish, there are many restaurants around Kanoni where you can order seafood made to taste. Whatever fills your appetite, the food here is best enjoyed with coffee or the local kumquat wine.
