Corfu
Corfu or Kerkyra in Greek is one of the Ionian Islands in Greece.
Do
Go to Aqualand, and have a rave! rave!!!
Eat some pittas filled with looooads of nice stuff... jst go to a backstreet kebab shop and get them... its good!
Barbati beach - crystal clear!
Drink
Gingerbeer. Corfu was a British protectorate and gingerbeer is one of the British style drinks that the locals adopted with enthusiasm. The Greek version is simply excellent. Ask for it at Liston or better restaurants and coffee houses. Locally it is called "Tsitsibeera"
Sleep
As far as budget accommodation is concerned there are two main choices. On the West Coast dominating the village of Agios Gordios is the Pink Palace, a behemoth of the European backpacking scene. The hostel owns a large pink bus that accosts backpackers arriving by ferry. New arrivals are given a shot of pink liquor. Most activities on offer (of which there are plenty) revolve around drinking - the booze cruise for example (jump off the big rock naked and get free beer) and the hostel's own club - packed out during the summer months.
The other option is Sunrock, also on the West Coast, down the cliff from Pelekas. This is a much more low key, relaxed place, just up from Pelekas beach; one of the best sandy beaches on the island. Many people find themselves here in order to escape from the incessant partying down the coast, yet Sunrock has a bar and is often full of young people with a less commercially oriented party in mind.
The above information is a perfect summary of the situation for backpackers. Aside from the two main choices mentioned above, Corfu has countless options for accommodation. From 5 star hotels in Corfu town to spare rooms you will only find by asking around. With so many people staying in Croatia and other hot spots, accommodations in Corfu are plentiful.

Get out
Corfu makes a good start for a tour of the Ionian Islands, including Kefallinia, Levkas, and Zakynthos.
It's also a good jumping-off place to get to Italy or Albania.

| Island Hopping Cruise to Paxos |
8.5 hours |
|
Enjoy the bus drive through charming landscape, into the deep south, past to dreamy villages, which are partly unaffected by tourism and keep their own culture and way of life.
The ship sails from Lefkimmi and arrives in the port of Laka, on Paxos Island approximately 55 minutes later. The ship passes slowly and close to the port Laka for a wonderful view of a typical Mediterranean fishing village.
Sailing further to the mysterious sea caves in the west of Paxos. Here your captain will steer the ship with expertise, as far as possible to have the best chance of taking photographs into the caves, where strange shaped stalactites are formed into past centuries. The ship continues to the small island, Antipaxos.
Your captain will anchor the ship as closest to the white sandy beach as possible, where you will have enough time to swim. If you are not in the mood for a dip, sit back and admire the crystal-clear water, where all shades of blue are hidden.
One hour later you sail with the ship to Gaios, on the island of Paxos where you can stroll through the small town for two and a half hours. You will have enough time to have lunch in one of the many traditional fish taverns (not included in tour cost).
During the return trip in the afternoon, the ship passes by the monastery of the Panagia, which stands completely isolated on a small island.

| Cruise the Blue Lagoons of Corfu |
8.5 hours |
|
The drive to the south of the island will leave you with a general impression of the traditional, untouched side of Corfu.
From Kavos port, only a 25 minute boat ride, you will arrive at the pretty Mourtos beach on the mainland. This is where the Greek navy submarines kept themselves hidden during the Second World War.
You then sail further to the Rodia bay, with its blue azure lagoon water. Here you will have time to enjoy swimming in the exotic waters or try your luck diving for a bottle of Champagne!
Next you will continue the cruise passing by countless small islands, a taste of paradise scattered in the sea, to the next stop, the Bay of Agia Paraskevi. Anyone who wishes for an unforgettable ocean experience has the opportunity to explore the underwater world with respirators and masks.
When you reboard the boat, a cold buffet lunch with tasty specialties awaits. Following lunch, the adventurous trip will take you further up to the Greek mainland and make a stop at the village Sivota, a small fishing village favored by sailors for its small quiet bays.
On your return to Kavos in the late afternoon, you will feel like Odysseus returning to Ithaka, after a full day of unforgettable experiences.
