Corfu Reviews -General

Nationality: American
Date on the island: July 25 2006
Countries visited: >5-10
The trip: I got to the island by plane with Aegean Airways, it was a pleasant trip.
Reasons for going to Corfu: Greece was recommended by friends and we choose Corfu after reading about the island.
Expectations and opinions: Before coming to Corfu, we had read that the island had beautiful flowers and was greener than the other islands we planned to visit -- Crete, Mykonos, and Santorini. So we chose to visit Corfu for the contrast. Since we had visited Italy before, we were also interested in Corfu because of it's history and architecture.

Best Beaches: In our short stay, we didn't swim, but loved the beauty of the Paleokastritsa.
Best Villages: Kalami
Best Activity: Exploring Corfu Town
Best restaurant: Rex
More: Second best restaurant is La Cucina
Negative opinion: We rode the tourist ?train? from to the Archeological sites of Corfu Town and were disappointed that one could not get off the train, walk around the sites and gardens, and then ride a later train back to the town center.
Recommendations: Rent a car from Spyridon & Mary Lemmis on Kapodistriou Street and explore the island on your own. Carry a swim suit in the car as you can use the beautiful pool when stopping at the Golden Fox overlooking Paleokastritsa.
I would recommend this island to anyone.
Rate of the overall quality/organization/services of this island/area in comparison with other countries: 9/10.
