Greeka.com: Corfu Reviews - Greece and the Greek Islands

General: Not much nightlife for my taste

Thu, 22 May 2008 08:11:20 GMT

Before getting to Corfu, I already knew what to expect. Great sea and beaches, good weather, many places to visit, traditional Greek food and good people. The green and blue landscapes were amazing and some villages very picturesque. There was not much nightlife for my taste, nor where there many activities to do. I'd say it's a peaceful and quiet island. However there are some things that shou...

General: Aqualand and Greek food were superb

Thu, 22 May 2008 08:11:20 GMT

We spent our last holidays in Sidari. The main drag in Sidari is like Blackpool - The Magic Wok, Karaoke Bars, People giving out flyers to get you in to places, jam packed, no sign of anything or anyone Greek. But we stayed at a nice apartment right on the outskirts and ate Greek food in friendly restaurants and had a great time. Wonderful beach and very pleasant people. Nightlife is lively ...

I chose Corfu as I have some Greek friends there. I am a dedicated Grecophile who loves Greece, her people, history, language and culture. I had visited Corfu on a previous occasion and thought it was absolutely beautiful. The scenery is stunning, the people friendly and the island is so easy to travel around. We stayed for four days before traveling by ferry to Parga. Apart from the couple of...

Like other people, my wife and I have been going to Corfu for the last 20 years, staying at different resorts, it is a lovely Island, and we love corfiot food. We have over the years made many good friends on the Island,and it's always great to see them each year.

Hello! I�m Brigitte Bentham, British, and I have been going to Corfu since 1983. This summer, I stayed for a month. My friends and relatives live there and we often go to visit. This island is the loveliest place; once you go there, you want to return. The food is delicious and homemade; in fact the local tavernas are among the best restaurants I�ve ever been to. The beaches are clean, my favor...

General: Corfu is for all ages

Thu, 22 May 2008 08:11:20 GMT

Corfu has something for everybody. The ages in our group ranged from 13 - 61 (me!) and we enjoyed the beaches, bars, restaurants and nightlife. Every place we went to had it's good points. As the weather was so hot (great!), we didn't travel very far from our hotel. Most of the restaurants were catering for British tastes, and when we're abroad we enjoy trying local dishes. However, there i...

General: The greeks know how to enjoy themselves

I have family in Corfu, and I thought it would be beautiful visiting it, it's Corfu! We drove from Alexandroupoli to Igoumenitsa and then we had to use a ferry to get to the island. I heard it's unlike any island because it has some Italian & French influences there. I pictured very venetian-looking buildings, cobblestone streets, and beautiful landscapes. I pictured the beaches to be clean a...

General: Family holidays in Corfu

I went to Corfu with a direct charter flight from Great Britain. I had previously searched the web and found an area we hadn't been before which looked unspoiled, yet still lively enough for children. A lovely setting which looked relatively unspoilt by Corfu standards and a little bit more classy than some of the places we had previously stayed in, which turned out to be as detailed on their w...

Tours: I definitely recommend it

Thu, 22 May 2008 08:11:20 GMT

I have visited many countries and wherever I go, I like to take advantage of the tours offered on each place. This was the case on Corfu Island; our hotel suggested it would be a nice experience and offered us a brochure to read about it. The tour included a boat-trip in a glass-bottom boat. We received a warm welcome, everyone in the staff were very polite and professional. Although the ambian...
