GETTING AROUND CORFU


To experience Corfu in the best and most comfortable way, you need a car or a scooter.

our natural choice will always be a scooter - summer breeze in your hair, sun on your skin, easy to drive through the crowded city and never having to look for a parking place.

you can rent a vehicle in the rental agencies at the airport or on the island. If you're visiting the island in high season, I recommend renting in advance.



THINGS TO DO ON CORFU


CORFU OLD TOWN

In the early evening hours, get to the old town of Corfu and get lost between the small pedestrian streets. Besides the beautiful architecture, you will find many boutiques, taverns and bars.

CANAL D'AMOUR BEACH

LA GROTTA

This famous beach bar is located on one of the most impressive bays in Corfu island. It's not a kept secret due,if its a sunny day, you should expect it's going to be busy. We recommend arriving early in the morning, when the beach bar opens its gates, and spending a few hours without the crowd. Taking your time to jump and swim in the crystal clear water. This way, when everyone comes, you will already be comfy in your chosen spot drinking margaritas (they make good ones) and enjoy the atmosphere. You can take a boat taxi from the raft in the middle of the bay to the isolated beaches around.

PORTO TIMONI BEACH

a hidden gem located under the village afines - although the view of this unique beach is breathtaking from the view point, don't give up on getting down to the beach and spend some time under the sun. Two attached bays, located back to back creates two beautiful, small and simple - in a good way beaches. Take with you some snacks, drinks and shadow as you will not find a beach bar down there.and you also get an exercise session on your way up, to balance all the gyros.

WEST COAST (BY PRIVATE BOAT)

Our highest recommendation for Corfu island and Greek island exploration in general - RENT A BOUT.

In most of the touristic destinations of Greece, you can rent a boat, for a few hours or more,

with just a car license in hand.

Rent a boat and sail on an adventure between cliffs, caves and turquoise sparkling water.
