Corfu

Corfu : Travel information before you go!

Discover the destination

Corfu, the most populated of the Ionian islands, is located near Epirus, just under two miles from the Albanian coast. A simple stroll in Kerkyra ('Corfu' in Greek) is all it takes to understand what makes the island so popular, starting with its capital, which includes the old town, and more modern districts surrounding it. Its historical centre is a maze of little side streets housing a plethora of shops and bars, and although there are many town hotels, visitors tend to make a bee-line for the hotels on the coast, the vast majority of which come in the form of club-hotels best suited for families. It is also worth noting that the beaches on the east coast are longer and far more beautiful than their counterparts on the west coast.

pros

•  The beaches on the east coast.
•  The narrow little side streets in Corfu.

  To think about

  Why not make the most of being on an island by exploring the place on two wheels. Taking the car is nice, but you can soon find yourself stuck behind a lorry and unable to overtake, not to mention the frequent traffic jams in Corfu! Hiring a scooter is a good way to explore the island at your own pace, with many visitors either choosing this option or hiring a quad-bike.

• To avoid

  Bear in mind that if you go during high season, you certainly won't have the place to yourself! The island may be big, but tourist areas soon fill up. You'll also need to take care on the roads, some of which are less well-maintained than others.
