CORFU

Where to stay in Corfu

 

Corfu is calling but where will you stay? Our handy guide to the rescue! Whether you’re a party animal, a lively family or a couple with a love for history, there’s a resort for everyone.

Welcome to Corfu! This Ionian gem caters for everyone, from beach magnets to party animals and those that love to soak up the countryside. While Kavos and Roda offer great nightlife, Sidari boasts an incredible Blue Flag beach that’s loved by families.

We’ve created this guide on where to stay in Corfu and what each fantastic resort has to offer. This Greek Island is a hugely popular destination, and we think you’ll love it too.

Roda

Imagine a small fishing town with a home-from-home feel. Roda isn’t on nearby day-trip itineraries, so the beach doesn’t get overcrowded either! There are nights of karaoke, quizzes and live music that appeal to families and friends yet are a step down from Kavos and Ipsos.
