Corfu (Greek: Κέρκυρα, Kerkyra) is the northernmost of the Ionian Islands in Greece. Located off of the far northwest coast of the nation, Corfu lies in the Adriatic sea, east of Italy and southwest of Albania. Historically Corfu has been controlled by many foreign powers, notably the Venetians, and British.

An Introduction to the Region of Corfu

Paleokastritsa - The famous bay of Paleokastritsa

Corfu is 62 kilometers long and at its widest point, nearly 30 kilometers wide. The island is formed by two mountain ranges. The northern runs from the west to east and consists of limestones, reached in the Mount Pantokrator (914 meters) the maximum height of the island, while the southern mountain range is less high and streches from north to south. The North of the island is wider and more mountainous. The coastal areas are well developed with good pebbly beaches. However and the northeast coast has always remained a favorite, aka Kensington on sea. It is also where the island's oldest village 'Old Perithia' is located just beneath Mt. Pantokrator, a Heritage Protected Site in a designated Area of Natural Beauty. The South of the island is less wide (only a few miles across from west to east) and tends to have sandier beaches.

Such is the popularity of the village that Corfiots visit at weekends throughout the winter, to sit around the fires and enjoy the authentic Corfiot dishes. Some of the best beaches on the island are 20 minutes (8 km) drive away so you can enjoy slip away during the day and return to the peace and quiet of 'your own village' as the sun sets over the mountain tops.

Corfu Halal Explorer

The satisfactory infrastructure and the multiple possibilities for various activities are conducive for group holidays on Corfu and the nearby islands.

Motivation trips, congress tourism, school trips, Ferrari or antique cars clubs and Harley Davidson groups meet here every year.

Corfu's nature, sea and history are draws for the visitor. In a place with a tradition in tourism of at least 130 years, with Greek education and the influence of “nobility” from England, France and Venice, in a place which is used to welcoming the international jet-set for several decades now and the possibilities for sports and amusement are certainly impressive.

That said, this also means that Corfu is not the place to go if you look for an authentic Greek experience. Because of the massive influence of tourism and there is nothing of Greece left here. Even the smallest beaches are spoilt by huge resorts, overpriced "traditional tavernas" that serve Burgers and English breakfast, have dessert on the menu, and have agents to try to pull you in. Only a few mountain villages are left where you can hide away from tourists and be mainly amongst the Greeks.

Corfu can be a good destination for family holidays. Corfu may not have a Disneyland, children's museums, zoos or other things closely connected with children, but the whole island is welcoming and safe for children. In Corfu there are no tropical diseases and very little danger from criminality, violence, dangerous seas, etc. Children play safely in the streets, in the parks, at the playgrounds and on the beach.

How is the Climate in Corfu

Spring here is impressive and offers visitors the privilege to enjoy the wealth of vegetation and colors, combined with high-taste tourism.

Easter celebration here becomes the experience of a lifetime.

Summer is the most popular season for Corfu, with beautiful beaches and crystal water for unconcerned hours on the beach.

Autumn is the season of vintage and the period during which the whole island smells of grapes; it may be the best time to get to know the routine of the island.

The Blue bus terminal in Corfu Town is in San Rocco Plaza. The bus information kiosk displays timetables and provides maps showing exactly where the buses terminate (some terminate a few blocks south of the square). Bus stops have electronic displays, and self-service ticket machines. Tickets are single-journey only and must be validated on the bus. They can be purchased from the machines, or from the driver (for €0.50 more).

Useful lines include the number 7 which goes to and from Dasia every 20 minutes (30 minutes on Sundays) and the 10 which goes to and from Achilion every two hours and the 6 to and from Benitses (not quite hourly) and the 11 to and from Pelekas every 2–3 hours.

Best way to travel in Corfu by a Taxi

There are plently of taxi lines in Corfu Town.

  • between the Spaniada and the cricket ground.
  • at the heart of the shopping center of the town in Methodiou street
  • at the Old Port
  • at the New Port
  • many others in Gouvia, Dassia, Benitses, Ipsos and the Airport etc.

And there is the radio taxi which can be visited by phone at +30 26610 33811

By car

You can hire a vehicle at the airport or through one of many local companies. In general, it is cheaper to pre-book a hire vehicle via the Internet before arriving. Many of the roads are very narrow so it can be better to choose a small car. While there is a good road running North-South along the East coast from Sidari to Lefkimmi and from Corfu town across the island to Paleokastritsa, many roads have poor surfacing. Often the insurance provided for hire cars does not cover damage to the underside of the vehicle so watch out for large holes in the road. Hire vehicle companies often provide a free map but you may find it worth buying one in advance as the maps are not especially good, especially for the North-West interior.

Book a Halal Cruise or Boat Tour in Corfu

A great way to explore the island and access beaches that can't be easily accessed otherwise is to rent a boat. Most towns have at least one boat rental company and boats up to 30HP do not require a licence to hire.

Travel by bicycle in Corfu

In the city traffic is pretty wild and noisy.

An automatic bike sharing scheme, called EasyBike Brainbox was available to rent bicycles. As of April 2014 the system looked pretty dysfunctional.

By quad bike

There is nothing better than renting a quad bike and driving round the villages, it's a lot of fun and a lot quicker than walking!
