The trip: We arrived on Corfu Island by plane. The trip was very easy (direct) and on time.
Reasons for going to Corfu: I have friends who bought a house on the island and invite me every year. It is the first time I took the time to go. They made a good advertisment of the island and I also wnated to see Greece.
Idea before arriving: I had heard much about the island. My friends told me many good things. I also checked for pictures on the web and it looked really beautiful. I was fascinated by the fact that the island is located in front of Albania. I was waiting for an island with a beautiful and imperial town, lot of vegatation and great beaches.
Expectations and opinions: It really met my expectations. I really loved it and it was very easy for me to get arround as my friends now the island very well. We managed to avoid the busy areas. It is a really beautiful island. There are some really good places and some other that are not so good. Some place are made just for tourists. All the commercial activities are for tourists. And no authenticity. I am wondering if the tourists who choose this kind of areas have any idea of the real beauty that the island has to offer. There are many incredible places on the island and really picturesque villages.
Favorite thing about Corfu: The local people and have some late afternoon walks in the alleys of the beautiful town of Corfu.
Negative opinion: Some places have been created just for tourists. The prices some times are more expensive than in Germany!
Recommendations: Just look arround the island. There will be somewhere that suits you!
Yes, I will go to Corfu Island again.
