I went on a holiday to Corfu with a boyfriend in 1998 and stayed in the Resort of Kassiopi. It is quite a small town with not many bars and clubs and would make an ideal location for a family holiday. There is a small beach to the north of the town and a small harbour with cafes and restaurants around it. The rest of the island was visited on Moped while we were there. Here is my opinion on the rest of the island. On the middle Eastcoast is the port town of Corfu Town. This is where the airport is and where you arrive. The more lively younger people tend to head south here to Kavos and the other people head north to Sidari and Kassiopi. Kavos is the clubbing town with lots of bars and clubs and beach. The beach is covered in rubbish washed in from the sea though and looks untidy. Corfu town is the capital of the Island and has great shopping and some nightlife. Not a holiday resort really. Its worth a visit though. Very historical. Kassiopi already mentioned is about 5 or 6 miles from the coast of Albania and it can be seen on a clear day across the sea. Sidari in the north is a collection of small bars and a huge strip of lovely beach. Nice for families looking for a relaxed beach holiday. The island is covered in pine trees and small winding roads around a very hilly landscape.
In September the weather turns sour and it RAINS A LOT! I know as it rained hard 5 days out of 7!
