Corfu

Corfu rewards decisions made in the right order. Settle the base, choose the hotel, then decide which beaches, restaurants, and days out deserve a place in the trip. Our edit keeps the island focused rather than turning it into a collection of stops.

Choose the geography before filling the days

The shape of a Corfu trip changes with the base. We would resolve that first, then choose a hotel and decide how much movement the stay should involve. The beaches, restaurants, and experiences come after. A coherent trip matters more than covering the island comprehensively.

Where to Stay in Corfu: Beaches, Old Town or Nightlife

Choose Corfu Town for car-free access, Paleokastritsa for cliff-backed coves, Dassia for driving days, or quieter Kassiopi and Agios Georgios Pagon.

The Hotel and the Practicalities

Once the base is settled, narrow the hotel and work out how the trip will move around it. These two guides resolve the stay itself and the logistics that determine how much of Corfu belongs in the plan.

Beyond the hotel

Beaches, Tables, and Days Worth Leaving For

The rest should be selective. Choose the beaches that suit the trip, the restaurants worth planning around, and a small number of experiences that justify time away from the hotel.
