Corfu Island Travel Forum

We are arriving by ship to Corfu. How far is the Old City of Corfu from the ships arrival point?. How would we get to Kassiopi as you have made it sound well worth a visit.
Thanks

Dear all,

i'll be visiting Corfu this summer and my travel agent has offered me the Park Hotel in Gouvia. Just wanted to check whether Gouvia is a good place to stay at for the holiday? Is it too quiet? Are there good beaches and bars around?

Another important question - How far is it from Corfu Town? And what's the best way to travel to Corfu town?

Thanks a lot

On Costa cruise with stop in Corfu - would rather do it on my own than take packaged shore excursions!! What should I visit - is it difficult to get around?

Hi. We are looking to hire the Kyriaki villa in Nissaki for a weekin August.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this villa.
Any informastion on the villa or Nissaki would be greatly appreciated.
Is the resort near Roda. This is the only place I have been on corfu.

Hi.
I have just bought a flat in Saranda, Albania and the nearest airport for us to use is the one at Corfu. The plane arrives late at night so we need to stay one night in Korfu Town before heading over to Albania with the ferry in the morning.

So, do anyone know of a nice hotel? (We need no luxury as it's only one short night).

Hope you can help!
Thanks

I want to meet some friends in Corfu while I am travelling in Italy. Is it easier (cheaper/travel time?) to fly from Rome to Corfu or find my way to Brindisi then take the ferry to Corfu.

Hi!
I'm going to Corfu in October, and the most convenient ferry is in Igoumenitsa , the one coming from Venice.
Tried to buy tickets on Internet - they are unavailable for this line.
Anybody knows:
does it mean that there is NO TICKETS or you just can't buy them in advance
because it is international line? Anybody had experience with that?

Hi can anyone tell me what time meals are served at this particular hotel? Also does anyone know if the hotel or resort has a playground (basic swings and slide nothing flash needed). Any other info greatly received. An email for the hotel would be really appreciated, as would an website address for the actual hotel, I can't seem to find one.
Many thanks

hi guys!
thinking of booking a last minute cheap deal to corfu. The website holiday.co.uk only details the accomodation as 'corfu savers' it's with Argo holidays. Anyone any idea what this might be like or where it may be on Corfu?
thanks!

We hope to be in the Nissaki area in Corfu for a week in the second week of June 2008.
1. Can you visit Agios Georgios (North West coast) and Agios Geordios (South West coast) directly from Nissaki or is the best route through Corfu town?
2. Both these beaches are supposed to be good. Which one should one choose if only one of them was to be visited?
3. Which would be the most convenient SANDY beaches to visit from Nissaki?
4. What other places should one visit in Corfu and particularly in the northern part of the island?
5. Is anyone familiar with the resort "Corfu Residence" in Nissaki?
I have seen a few Websites but personal knowledge is always valuable.
Regards

How long is the bus ride ?

hi
Me and my parents are thinking of going to Corfu together but not sure how the weather will be around end august when it comes to sun, and the temperature of the sea for swimming and how lively it will be.

We were thinking of either going around 23rd August for 7 nights (23rd-29th) or around the 28th August for 6 nights (28th aug-2nd sept).
do you think the sea will be colder if we went on the 28th or it won't make a slight difference in a week and a half?

Also will corfu will still be lively with young greek people and foreign as well as families after the 27th august? As it;s the furthest of the greek islands, we are not sure whether to go 23rd or 28th in case the sea gets colder and it gets much quieter?

I would appreciate your advice

We are proposing to fly Athens-Corfu-Athens. We expect to come into Athens (at 11 am approx.) from Istanbul by Turkish Airlines in the morning. Rather than take an evening flight from Athens to Corfu, we want to take the morning flight by Aegean Airlines on the next day.

Any way of avoiding an overnight stop at Athens which we may have to take anyway on the return journey from Corfu?

Hi!

I'm going on holiday to Moraitika next week (13th August). I would like to know how much it costs to rent a car. I would be grateful for suggestions about where to get the cheapest car hire! :-)

Thank you in advance!

We will be arriving by cruise ship on Sept 18 and would like to find a private driver/guide to take us on a 4 hour tour to Palaiokastritsa area. Does anyone know if we can hire a private taxi for this trip or if there is a private driver/guide who does this trip?

Hello everyone,
my frined and me are going to Corfu in september. We heard (a bit too late) that it's not much of a party place. I don't mind a good quiet holiday, but i also wouldn't mind some action :)

The place we're going to is Agios Georgios - south, aka St. George.
We will appreciate any kind of advice where to go after dark :)
THNX a lot

Hi there, I'm going to visit Corfu in September and now trying to book accomodation. I found this apartment called 'Villa Argiris' in Agios Stefanos, but there are not alot of review on this accomodation on the internet.

Can I just ask if anyone been to this accomodation? How about the area? Quiet area? Also I'll be renting a car, but I've never driven on the right side despite that I have many years of left side driving experience, is the road in Corfu easy to drive?

Thanks for answering.

tell me how much cost to rent a scooter for a day

Hi, I'm going to Pelekas next Tuesday and I can't wait! Has anyone got any tips or advice for me? I'm looking for a relaxing holiday, but don't want to miss out on anything, so please let me know if there are any 'must sees' etc. Also, any recommendations for food / drinks and beaches would be appreciated. Does anyone know the Pelekas Beach Hotel?

Hi
I've just had an accident on a quad bike. Only damage to the bike is a bent bar at the rear (where you put your bags). The rental company want me to pay E150 for repairs - does this seem excessive?
Any suggestions?

Hi VTers

I'm thinking of doing an Ionian flotilla cruise with some friends in the first or second week of September but I suffer from seasickness. I just got back from an island hopping sailing cruise in Croatia and was quite sick on that (though we did have some pretty bad weather!). The boats used for Greece are even smaller (http://www.sailingholidays.com/region-detail.asp_Q_RegionID_E_1)

Has anybody who generally suffers from seasickness had any experience on these yachts around Corfu, Lefkas etc? Do you think I should just bite the bullet and do the trip or be a wimp and stay at home?

Hi there - Would appreciate if anyone could help me with some info regrading transportation from the airport to St Giorgios ?

Not sure if there is a bus that runs this service, if so would be very grateful if anyone can help with and details, alternatively how much could we expect to pay for a taxi / how long roughly is the journey ?

Many thanks in advance guys.

Cheers

have had various opinions re: best beach- looking for calm water with gradual
water entry-no big dropoffs (recent knee injury

Ideally sand vs. pebbles, almost a cove bay type layout.

all the pictures look so good.

my research led to messonghi but someone said no go to pelekas.

anyone with knowledge please help, should be within40 minute cab ride from cruiseport and easy to get cab back for return . appreciated

Hi,
We are going to Corfu on May 26 for one week. On yahoo weather they show showers and thunderstorm almost all this week and next week too!
What does this mean, a one hour shower per day and otherwise sunshine? I dont mind that, but if it rains 24/7...
This is a question for locals, how is it there now? How about the sea temperature?

Hello,

I've booked our holiday to Corfu for the end of September. Can anyone tell me what's the weather like there at that time of the year? Need light jacket or trousers? We're staying for 1 week and would like to see as much of the island as possible. Any recommendations where to go, what to see?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Right now I'm working on my Corfu page. Currently writing about Sidari. One of the subjects is the bar we had a nice lunch. It faced the beach and was close to the Canal d'Amour. We have not written down the name in our diary and we just would like to know the name of the bar.

We think that it was called "The Wave", but are not sure about it. Very unusual was the parrot present and it did talk the entire time. Which, of course, was fun for our little girl Iris.

Can anybody help us with the name, so we can complete the tip the correct way. We have a photo of the place at our Corfu page, section "restaurants". Have a look and help us :)

Thanx in advance,

Jerelis

Do you know some hotel at Corfu Town? Close to Spianada or Liston? thanks
