Corfu (Greece) > Reviews

Advantages: lively, cheap, good weather
Disadvantages: not for oldies

...neccessity. The best time to visit Corfu is late June, when the crowds haven't all arrived yet, but it's still very lively and pumped up. Book early cause this resort is extremely popular with every young person in the country. Don't expect anything very Greek though - this might as well be a slice of boozy England moved into the sun - what could be better?!!!! ... Read review

Advantages: see opinion
Disadvantages: see opinion

I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep this op on the subject of the island of Corfu, mainly because of the goings on in our holiday accommodation, but I'll try. If you've picked this up from my account list of opinions, then I apologise for having turned it into a mini "Wish You Were Here", but I'm having really excellent fun in digging out the photo albums to rekindle some of the memories. We spent two weeks on a Mark Warner holiday at the Club ... Read review

Advantages: lots of things to see and do
Disadvantages: need a lot of suncream

...in the sun holiday to Corfu although most of our fun was had in the evening and the early hours of the morning. We were staying in a self-catering apartment, which as you can imagine was a laugh with three 18-year-old males trying to live in it. None of us could really cook, none of us could clean, and I don’t think any of us had been on holiday without our parents present, but don’t hold me to that I’m not entirely sure. We ... Read review

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

...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 ...

Advantages: Lovely country, lovely people
Disadvantages: Corfu airport

...it's an old cliche, but Corfu relly HAS got something for everybody. If you want to party until the early hours then resorts like Kavos and Benitses will keep you happy. If you prefer somewhere busy but not rowdy then Ipsos or Dassia may suit, and there are a whole host of small, out-of-the-way quiet resorts for the boring old gits like me. Personally, I find the best way to explore Corfu is to hire a car (its not expensive), buy a map, and just ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, food and wine.
Disadvantages: The mosquitoes are extremely vicious

I was in Corfu for 4 days. Its very green, sunny and hilly. It is a beautiful Island. The main city if full of many restaurants and cafes. You will definitely never go hungry in Corfu. The greek food and wine is beautiful. There is such a range of food to eat - you will never have the same meal twice. I really liked the Greek wine - surprising cheap and good quality. I would definitely recommend a lot of mosquito repellant. I was bitten very badly ... Read review

Advantages: Nice island
Disadvantages: not in Swptember

...visited the little Island of Corfu in September 1998 and was left with mixed feelings. I have visited several Greek Islands and This ranks lowest on my list. I stayed in the resort village of Kassiopi which is about an hour on a coach from the Airport at Corfu Town. Its a coastal fishing village by trade and sits near the north East Tip of the Island. You can see Albania just across the water only 6 miles away. To the North Coast are the ... Read review

Advantages: Lots to do, Lots to see, cheap fuel - really cheap!
Disadvantages: HOT! But then again, I like Heat!

...Greece, and got allocated to Corfu - why not? Apparently one of Greece's nicest islands - true to those words. So there it was, one week of sunshine, water, and peace... And if it is peace that you want, then head to St George's - located on the south east of Corfu. About an amazing 45 minute drive from the city centre. On the east of the island there exists a very scenic road that runs along the water which is absolutely magnificent - a discovery ... Read review

Advantages: some nice scenery
Disadvantages: it's overcrowded, overpriced and overrated

...to find any of them. Corfu is one of the great tragedies of modern tourism. I went there 20 years ago and had what was possibly the best holiday of my life. I went back last year - and really wished I hadn't ... Read review

Advantages: peaceful to relax in the sun
Disadvantages: Dassia is based on a busy road

...comment on the Island of Corfu after returing from amazing holiday, I decided to choose Corfu as I have travelled around Greece and been to most of the Islands but id never been to Corfu. When arriving we were taken to our hotel and I have to say I have never seen such a amazing hotel. We stayed in the Corfu Chandris in a little town of Dassia. The hotel was spledid with carpeted floors in the bedroom, which was a totally new experience. the meals ... Read review

Advantages: Close to Albania and very picturesque
Disadvantages: Rains a lot out of season

...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 East coast is the ... Read review

Advantages: Clean, comfortable, quiet, relaxing.
Disadvantages: Not for people who want lots of nightclubs.

...a couple of times into Corfu town which is well worth visiting, especially the forts & the old town with it's hundreds of little shops.Also lots of places to eat in the town. Overall, it was a fantastic holiday, very relaxing, & I would definitely recommend St George South & the Andrianas apartments. We went with Thomsons. At the end of our stay Andriana gave us a card she'd made, decorated with pebbles & shells from the beach! ... Read review
