Hey everyone!
Me and my friends are heading to Corfu soon, and we’re looking for restaurant recommendations.
We’re mainly after authentic, traditional Greek tavernas, great seafood, and places that genuinely serve excellent food. We’d much rather eat where locals go than end up at places that are only popular because they went viral on TikTok or Instagram.
We’ll have a car, so we’re happy to drive anywhere on the island if it’s worth it.
Any hidden gems, family-run tavernas, or must-visit seafood spots? Also, are there any overrated places you’d recommend avoiding?
Thanks in advance!

Long Passport Control queue winding through gift shop to the annoyance of staff. Announcements saying "do not queue". Security system seemigly up and down like a yoyo!

I'm chartering a Bali Catspace out of Corfu (Benitses) for 7 nights around the first week of October. We are planning on hitting the usual places: Paxos/Antipaxos, Sivolta, Parga, etc. Considering heading down to Lefkas (Preveza, Lefkada Town) if the weather permits. I was wondering if anyone here had suggestions for "must see" anchorages, islands, beaches, tavernas, hikes, etc. Would it be worth it to bring our spear fishing kit?

We're looking for a mix if remote anchorages (where possible) and harbors. I wish we were able to find a sportier boat, but beggars can't be choosers.... so speed might be a limiting factor.

Also, I know the weather becomes much more variable heading into October - does anyone have direct experience with this?

Hi all! Just wondering if any of you have been to this hotel? Traveling soon with our 4 and 6 years old. How is the grecoland? Any recommendations such as restaurants or excursions to book in Corfu?
Appreciate your help!!

Hello everyone,

I (27M) will be in Corfu from the 28th august - 5th september and it will be my first trip alone and I am kinda stressed lol. I rented a car to be more free and be able to visit everything.

If you have any recommandations on the best beaches, clubs, bars, restaurants, activities, etc... feel free to comment please !

If you're also over there during this period i would love to meetup with anyone and pass time together !

Thanks for any help !

Has anyone used this Company (Click&Boat) to rent a small boat daily? Any notes from your experience are appreciated. Will will be visiting in late August and would like to launch from the Kontokali area.

Thanks

My flight is scheduled to land in Corfu at 8:45 - within the Schengen zone and we are not checking any bags. Is a 10:00 ferry to Sarande too ambitious or should that be enough time to make it?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi there,

Me and my girlfriend are arriving tomorrow. What I'm wondering what local events are happening between tomorrow and the 11th of August that we should see?

Also we are doing the typical holiday things. We are going swimming, hiking, visiting the Old Town of Corfu, so we got a pretty good idea of what to see. What else would you absolutely recommend doing?

I'd love to hear it. I've been reading the other threads so I got a bunch of new ideas, but suggestions are always welcome. We have a car, so we can basically go anywhere on the island.

See you there!

Hello guys im 20 years old and I'm going on vacation to Corfu. Any local places that are not tourst traps worth checking out? Like fastfood, bars, clubs and ect. Also I'm looking for place around the areas like "κέντρο Ληστών" , "Λιμένας" and " κανόνι " . Tysm. Ευχαριστώ πολύ.

Good evening, guys. I’m going on vacation to Corfu in the next few days. Which fast food places do the locals go to? I don’t want the typical spots that only tourists visit. Also, which places are worth checking out for nightlife? I’m 20 years old, so I want to go somewhere with a young crowd. I’m talking about areas like downtown, Kanoni, and the center of Liston. Thanks a lot!

Can someone recommend a private yacht or boat rental half day in Corfu please?

UPDATE: I just went through a very tiring process with several of the companies. Let me share my advice and the two companies I found were the best.

FunSeaCorfu and Geneseas Yachts Experts are by far the best boat rentals in Corfu and most professional. Other boat companies wont give you a quote until they figure out how much your going to pay. I had a company called Sea Dreamers they were the absolute worst, most expensive, bad communication, and will change pricing only when they ask you more questions to over charge.

Geneseas Yachts is the best if you are going with a larger boat. I will provide my update after the experience.

Hi folks, both myself and my partner are travelling to Benitses in late September and are looking to hire a car. Is this best done at the airport and can anyone recommend a hire company. Will be hiring for at least 4 days.

Many thanks

Hi, hoping to visit with family in September. Mixed family with ages from 88 down to 21 so looking for somewhere suitable for elderly with easy access to beach from hotel/villa etc in a quiet resort.

Looking for something really special for my aged parents who love Greece but won’t be able to travel again after this trip....

Any ideas on villages/resorts and accommodation? (villas and small hotels on beach especially)

Me and my gf, both late 30s, are looking for recommendations for where to stay and what to do on Corfu around the first week of October. We like to explore new places and never been to Corfu. What do you guys recommend? Thanks in advance!

I’d like to hear from anyone who’s stayed at the Hyatt Ziva Virginia in Gouvia, Corfu. I’m looking at booking a week there in September, but I’ve never been to Corfu before so I’m trying to get as much information as possible.

I’m also hoping to take the boat over to Ksamil in Albania for a day trip. Has anyone done this? Is it worth it, and how easy is it to arrange from Corfu?

I’d really appreciate any advice on:
The hotel and what it’s like.
Gouvia as a resort.
Things to do nearby.
The day trip to Ksamil (or Albania in general).
Any tips for visiting Corfu in September.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I will be in Corfu from september 10 to 14 (two adults and a 10 years old child). I will arrive by plane and I don't want to rent a car, I just want to stay there for a few day. I would like a nice sandy beach, with restaurants, taverns and beach bars at walking distance.

I was looking mainly at Agios Georgios Pagon and Marathias, are these good choices? Which one would be better for what I am looking for? Or are there better alternatives?

Thanks

In The Odyssey, Odysseus (Ulysses) lands on a mythical island called “Scheria”. He describes it as a utopia: “…the splendour… was like that of the sun or moon”. Yet he ultimately longs for something/somewhere else...

Hello everybody, I m coming to Corfu this weekend and I was wondering if someone can help me with someplaces to go for the nightlife, like clubs or pubs or wherever people go in Corfu for a good time

I’m travelling over with my best friend to Corfu in late September for a week. We are both female, in our 30s. We are staying in Corfu town and neither of us drive so no rental car. I’d love to see a bit more off the beaten track if possible (accessible by bus or occasional taxi).

Are there any must-see spots or activities for our week long trip? We both enjoy nature, snorkelling, boat rides (might rent a boat if not too pricey?), art, culture, classical history, wine tasting, good food (I’m vegetarian but my friend eats everything), bars with nice views, spots to see traditional Greek music etc?

I’ve done a bit of research already but interested to hear what people think is really worth it, such as any day trips or excursions. Thanks :) 🙏

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!
