Corfu holidays deliver sandy beaches by the bucketload, Instagrammable landscapes and a capital that's bursting with sightseeing ops.

Sand and scenery

Corfu’s got the beach department covered, with plenty of sand and pebble stretches right by the Ionian Sea. Pretty olive groves and cypress trees take over as you head inland, plus you’re never far from a bit of history if you’re seeking a little culture. Here to soak up the party vibes? Head to Corfu Town and Kavos for livelier nights.

UNESCO rated

Corfu Town has plenty of cultural hotspots to keep you inspired. The old town’s earned its UNESCO status thanks to its castles and maze of interwoven lanes. The Old Venetian fortress takes pride of place on a peninsula overlooking the city, with the New Venetian Fortress within eyeshot above the rooftops. Plus, once you start exploring the tangle of narrow streets, you’ll find yourself sucked in by cafes and restaurants for hours on end.

Old and new island

There’s no mistaking Corfu’s identity as a traditional Greek island – for starters, you’ll find the local food on the menu in most foodie spots. Plus, the hotels and tavernas pride themselves on providing classically warm Greek hospitality. More modern spots, like Sidari and Gouvia, are the places to go if tradition is less of your vibe.

Top things to see and do in Corfu

Corfu has a mix of beachy spots, so that means plenty of choice for chilling out. Yes, there’s some pebbly pockets, but you’ll still find lots of sand, plus swoon-worthy panoramas are a given. There are some well-known spots among them, too, including the Canal d’Amour in Sidari. AS the name suggests, this sheltered channel’s said to be lucky for those looking for love. Tinder who?

Aghios Gordios is one of the highlights on Corfu’s beach scene. It’s sand-only, and on the island’s west coast, which means front-row views across the Ionian Sea. Tavernas and restaurants line the seafront for beach-view beers or bellinis, plus the whole place feels like an Insta filter at sunset.

One of the island’s hidden gems is up in the north-eastern corner of Corfu. Kassiopi might have a pebbly beach, but it’s lined with gently bowing trees and the water is warm and clear. The locals have kept this one under wraps, but you can reach it in about 20 minutes if you’re driving from Roda.

Make your way to one of the island’s smaller spots if you’re after some bargains. Villages like Moraitika are prime territory for little shops selling the island’s specialities, like olive oil or kumquat marmalade. It’ll cost less than picking it up in Corfu Town, too.

Sidari’s the place to head for your classic holiday shopping fix. The parade of shops and restaurants is right by the beach and delivers everything from quick-and-easy souvenir stores to little independent places selling clothes and sports gear.

For shopping at the top end of the scale, head to Corfu Town. The capital’s streets are home to designer boutiques, artisan craft shops and antique dealers. Keep your eye out for trinkets that have been carved from olive wood – they’re among the most unique keepsakes you can get your hands on here.

Corfu Town is the standout pick for lively evenings, thanks to its fusion of personality and party atmosphere. Whether it’s a couple of quiet cocktails or a late-night party, there’s something here to fit. Kavos, on the other hand, takes first prize for all-hours clubbing, thanks to its strip of nightclubs covering the A-Z of music genres.

Roda gives off all the small-town charm, thanks to its traditional take on a bar scene. Its beach has classic coastal vibes, but the string of tavernas behind it are more down-to-earth and chilled out. Think cocktails while the sun sets and big tankards of Greek beer to wash down a plate of souvlaki.

These bite-sized snacks take a Greek staple and wrap it in crisp light pastry. Layers of buttery filo are loaded with crumbly chunks of feta cheese, shaped into triangles, and fried until golden and crispy.

This rosy red dish is one of Corfu’s seafood staples. Onions, red peppers and tomatoes are tossed in a pan until they form a sauce. Potatoes are thrown in to soften and whole scorpion fish are simmered close to the end.

This mainland Greek favourite’s a regular in Corfu’s restaurants. Lamb is marinated with garlic and olive oil before being slow cooked on the bone. It comes served on a bed of crispy potatoes and root vegetables.

Baklava often takes the headlines in the Mediterranean dessert category, but sicomada’s the alternative you’ll be tucking into next. It’s a cake made with dried figs, almonds, cinnamon, orange peel and ouzo.

This hearty stew’s a big hit in Corfu. Roughly chopped onions are simmered in red wine, before beef or rabbit are added to the mix. This one’s cooked slow, so you can expect melt-in-the-mouth textures.
