Poseidon Beach Restaurant, Corfu

Advantages: Flight availability, Cheap Food and Drink, Great weather.
Disadvantages: Mozzies!

...If it's going to be your first visit to this popular Ionian Island, let me give you an insight into why so many tourists return year after year making it the most visited of all the Greek Islands! If you are lucky enough to arrive during day light hours, the views across the Island as the plane banks while coming into land may not be what you had imagined Corfu Island to look like. Especially if you've been to other Islands such as Rhodes or Kos because as nice as these others are, they can not compere with the lush cypress and olive groves that cover the majority of Corfu's interior. The history of Corfu stretches further back than the Greek gods themselves and in ancient times it was named Corcyra after a mistress of the sea god Poseidon and in-fact is still called this by the Islanders to this day.After being conquered by many...

Disadvantages: Shingle beach

...and everything was still there when we got back, bit of a gamble maybe! The wave pool was my favourite part, risk of drowning though (lol!). Food quite expensive, so maybe take your own bits, and your own water. ~~Corfu Town Dont book through your rep, get the bus yourself or go to one of tthe cheaper booking shops and you can get there for about 4 or 5 euros. Restaurants quite good choice, and the shops are different, but not as cheap as you might expect. A lot of fake gucci's, etc. Worth a look, but not worth spending a whole day up there. Best time to go is at night. (after 5ish) Now there are other excursions avaliable which I haven't taken part in. These include horse riding, scuba diving and a trip to another waterpark. There are also countless other boat trips avaliable including to paxos and albania, they leave from Ipsos beach... Read review

...is located on the northeast coast of Corfu, roughly 45km north of the island's capital, the rather unimaginatively named Corfu Town. Kassiopi is set on a beautiful natural harbour, with fishing boats moored along a couple of small piers, and some fabulous restaurants lining the sea front. The Albanian coast is just 2 miles away, and on a clear day the poignantly bleak, concrete tower blocks of the Albanian town of Saranda, with snow-capped mountains beyond, can be seen from across the channel. Like much of Corfu, the area surrounding Kassiopi is covered in trees and olive groves, and consequently very green. The coastline is exquisitely beautiful, with aquamarine water lapping against white rocks, and there are a number of coves and beaches nearby, some pebbled and others sandy. THE VILLA: Meon's brochure had suggested Villa Apanemia... Read review
