Athens, Greece,travel guide.

 

Corfu is one of the most beautiful of the Greek Islands.

Corfu town is divided into two main areas, the old and the new. The old part of Corfu town is a maze of cobbled streets overlooked by the old fortress. The newer part of Corfu town is abundant in shops that satisfy all tastes of shopping.

Corfu town is rich in tavernas, restaurants and takeaways. The waterfront has the best of the fish restaurants.

Benitses is near the centre of Corfu Island, south of Corfu town. Benitses has blue flag beaches, a new marina, many shops tavernas and restaurants as well as plenty of sights to explore. A perfect family holiday location.

Kassiopi is a small fihing village with traditional narrow streets overlooked by an ancient castle. Quite lively nightlife with plenty of tavernas around the harbour area. The beaches are small and pebbly but the water is sparklingly clear.

Sidari has excvellent beaches and a lively nightlife. The main beach stretches for two miles comprising of pebbles and sand with plenty of water-sports. St George South has one of the best sandy beaches on Corfu, also a blue flag beach. Not so much character as some of Corfu’s resorts but an ideal base for cycling and walking. A quieter more peaceful resort.
