Corfu is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all the Greek islands. Itis the greenest of the Ionian Islands and probably also the best known. Theisland offers a beguiling landscape of wild flowers, cypress trees, olive trees andseveral seductively sandy beaches. Corfu also has a major vegetable gardenwhich gives the fresh mountain air a pleasant scent. To the south of Corfu townis Moraitika and Messonghi which have beautiful scenery and beaches. However,the west coast of the island is the most attractive as that is the place where youwill find some of the prettiest countryside around and it is also here that you willfind the small coves with the sandy beaches surrounded by cliffs and trees. Thenorth coast is more typical Greek with a rocky coastline where the crystal clearwater has chopped into pebbled bays and coves.

The name Corfu (Kèrkyra) names not only the

island, but also its capital, which is a beautiful,

sophisticated and charming town. It is also one

of the most elegant island capitals in the whole

of Greece, as it was modernised for the 1994 EU

summit.

The architecture in town is inuenced by the

French, the Italians and the British, but it still

has a contemporary Greek feel to it, which

makes it an amazing place to visit.

Nude bathing is only legal on a few beaches in

traditional Greeks. It is also very bad etiquette to

swim or sunbathe within sight of a church and

there are several churches around the Greek

coastline. Topless sunbathing is legal nationwide

Destination: CorfuPublishing date: 2017-03-20

but there are several areas which have adopted

their own policy and opted out of this liberal

approach by posting signs which should not be

ignored.

The police rarely hand out nes but you can end

up with three days in jail if you ignore the rst

warning. The island is full of lovely beaches and

especially Myrtiotissa near Corfu, Glyfada and

Pelekas on the west coast are worth a visit.

There are also plenty of secluded beaches on the

west coast that can be reached by a water-taxi or

by one of the small day-tripper boats for a fee.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

Tourist Traps

The most common tourist

trap on Corfu is

overly-expensive taxi

rides. Therefore it is a

good idea to insist that all

fares are shown on the

meter. Some restaurants overcharge on the bill

so it is generally a good idea to check your bill

before you just pay the amount requested.

However, most establishments are reasonably

honest.
