Corfu Review:
Nationality: French
Age: 42
The trip: The trip from Paris was very pleasant. Then the coach transfer to our accommodation was very well organised and the staff really welcoming.
Reasons for going to Corfu: I went in Corfu many years ago and wanted to rediscover the island in compagny of my wife and children. The first time I went there I found the island extremely beautiful.
Idea before arriving: I knew the island was really beautiful with great landscpapes and incredible beaches. I was just afraid that the island would have become too much touristy with too many hotels.
Expectations and opinions: Yes, it met my expactations again and my family's also. The island is always as beautiful as the first time I had visited. The town is always a real jewel but was a little disapointed that the traditional way of life have almost disapeared. Many touristy shops, jewelries and also a MacDonald and a greek version called "Goodies". But it is always as beautiful. With its small roads and the incredible architecture. I discovered for the first time the many museums the town offers.
Favorite thing about Corfu: The town is the most beautiful town of Greece that I have ever visited. The people are extremely kind.
Negative opinion: Too much people and many italians. The town reminds Napoli and if the people are also speaking italian then you think that you are in Italy! Much traffic also. Many noisy motorbikes and scooters.
Recommendations: The food is really great on Corfu Island but you should try to find for smaller and hidden tavernas that offer the traditional things.
Yes, I would love to go to Corfu again. I really spent great time there. I would love to go there for easter. The customs there are supposed to be of great interest.
