Corfu

Beaches

beaches
Kassiopi

One of the more relaxed and atmospheric resorts with a pretty bay and beach that is mostly stony. the waters are crystal clear and calm. somewhat spoilt by the prevalence of tacky tourist bars/cafes catering to the many english tourists that crowd the town.

beaches
Pelekas beach
Kontogialos Beach, Pelekas Village

Even more isolated than glifada. also a nice sandy beach.

beaches
Sidari

A fair sized resort dominated by british tourists. at one end of the beach is the "canal de l'amour": sand stone cliffs with narrow inlets, a natural archway and small paths to explore.

beaches
Chalikounas beach

A very long, virgin stretch of land, caught between chalikiopoulos' lake and the adriatic sea. the natural landscape here is unique, it is a great place to get away from the world and just enjoy both sea and sun. (http://www.pento.gr/beach...)

beaches
Glifada

A long wide sandy beach with fairly rough waters. the resort is somewhat isolated. (http://www.pento.gr/beach...)

beaches
Issos beach

Next to chalikounas, again on the southwest of corfu, this beach has a desert motive, because of the high sand hills right next to the seashore. bring your bike and enjoy the terrain, or just enjoy the panoramic view from high above. (http://www.pento.gr/beach...)

beaches
Lefkimmi beach
Liapades

A wide long sandy beach that is quiet due to being in the less busy south. there's a practical taverna with a children's playground. the waters are extremely calm and very shallow, even out for quite some distance.

beaches
Prasoudi beach

High cliffs hang over your head, clean waters and a mix of sand and pebbles. a remote beach that will not leave you unsatisfied. (http://www.pento.gr/beach...)

beaches
Dasia

And ipsos. a narrow stony beach with relatively calm waters. the resort runs along the road so there's a good variety of shops and tavernas. (http://www.pento.gr/beach...)

beaches
 

There is a good variety of beaches on Corfu. On the West side of the island, the beaches are sandier while the East tends to have calmer waters.

beaches
Messonghi beach

Gentle current, ideal for children, clean water with sand and pebbles and plenty of little fish.

Aqualand, Agios Ioannis. It's quite a small water park with only a few main "rides". It is best to travel to and from the park under your own steam as a whole day there with an organised trip might be too long.

Eat some pitas filled with loads of nice stuff... just go to a backstreet kebab shop and get them... its good!

walking

Corfu is an ideal location for a keen walker. The North is fairly rugged with Mt. Pantokrator, the highest mountain, and beneath it Corfu's oldest village, Ano UpperPerithia. At the other extreme is Korission Lake in the South; an inland lake, separated by a thin sand bar from the sea.

The Corfu Trail is a 222km long distance footpath covering the full length of the islands. The route is well signed and a book accompanies the trail (http://www.thecorfutrail.com), there is also an introduction, history and walking guide for Old Perithia, Corfu's oldest village which you pass through on the Corfu Trail, (http://www.old-perithia.com).
