Corfu, known as the emerald isle of the Ionian Sea, offers an enchanting mix of historic charm, lush landscapes, and sublime beaches. From the Venetian splendour of its UNESCO-listed Old Town to hidden mountain villages and lively coastal resorts, each corner of Corfu has its own distinct vibe. This island (called Kerkyra in Greek) was never ruled by the Ottomans (it passed from Venetian to French to British hands) resulting in a unique cultural blend. Italianate architecture and French-style arcades blend with British influences like cricket, and are brought to life by traditional Greek hospitality and cuisine. Verdant olive groves blanket the hills, and the coastline spans everything from dramatic cliff-backed coves to long sandy bays. Whether you’re seeking history and culture, a peaceful sun-soaked retreat, or nightlife by the sea, Corfu has an area that’s just right.

In this guide, we’ll explore Corfu’s best areas to stay, from the elegant streets of Corfu Town and nearby beach resorts of Dassia, to the picturesque coves of Paleokastritsa and Kassiopi, the family-friendly fun of Sidari, the romantic sunsets of Pelekas, and the buzzing nightlife of Kavos down south. For each destination, you’ll discover its unique atmosphere, must-see attractions (with some insider tips), and tailored hotel recommendations to make the most of your stay. Join us as we explore the best places to stay in Corfu, one charming spot at a time.

Corfu Town (Kerkyra) – Historic Capital with Culture & Cosmopolitan Charm

Corfu Town is the historic and cultural heart of the island, a colourful Venetian-era city set between two ancient fortresses on the east coast. Strolling its UNESCO World Heritage Old Town feels like stepping back in time: maze-like cobbled lanes (the kantounia) open onto elegant squares, pastel mansions with wrought-iron balconies, and the famed Liston promenade lined with Parisian-style arcades and cafes. You’ll encounter venetian fortresses, French palaces (like the Palace of St. Michael and St. George), and the beloved Saint Spyridon Church with its red dome (housing the relics of the island’s patron saint). 

Yet amidst the history, Corfu Town is very much alive, filled with shops, museums, tavernas and a vibrant evening scene centered on its pedestrian streets and lively Spianada square. In the daytime, visit the Old Fortress for panoramic views and the Esplanade for people-watching over a ginger beer (a local legacy of British times). When the night falls, enjoy rooftop cocktails or a relaxed wine bar in a centuries-old alley. The city’s blend of Venetian, British and French influences gives it a sophisticated, romantic vibe unlike anywhere else in Greece.

Who it’s best for: Corfu Town is perfect for travellers who love history, architecture, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. It’s an ideal base if you won’t have a car or if you plan to explore other parts of Corfu by bus or ferry, the main transport hubs are here. Couples enjoy the romantic ambience and endless dining options, while culture enthusiasts can spend days visiting museums, fortresses and galleries.

Shoppers will find everything from local artisan crafts to designer boutiques. The town beach (Faliraki) is small, but families can still enjoy the parks and easy day trips. If you want a bit of everything (culture, food, nightlife (in a laid-back, sophisticated form) and easy access to the rest of the island) you can’t go wrong staying in Corfu Town.

Did You Know? Corfu has one of the most spectacular Easter celebrations in Greece. On Holy Saturday in Corfu Town, locals uphold the “botides” tradition by throwing large clay pots from their balconies to smash on the streets below, in a loud, exhilarating spectacle meant to herald good luck. Thousands gather in the Old Town to watch this unique custom, so if you visit at Easter, prepare for flying pottery and one unforgettable cultural experience!

Where to Stay in Corfu Town: This capital offers everything from grand historic hotels to family-run pensions. Top picks include:

Kassiopi & the North-East Coast – Quaint Harbour Village with Laid-Back Luxury


Photo: Wikimedia Commons

At the north-eastern tip of Corfu, Kassiopi is a postcard-perfect fishing village that has blossomed into a charming holiday spot while retaining a relaxed local feel. Centered around a horseshoe-shaped harbour, Kassiopi greets you with turquoise bays and a backdrop of olive-green hills (with Albania’s mountains visible across the channel). During the day, life revolves around the harbour: fishermen unloading the day’s catch, sailboats bobbing, and visitors lingering over coffee at waterfront cafés. A ruined Byzantine castle of Kassiopi perches on the headland above. Climb up for panoramic views over the Ionian Sea and the village below. 

Kassiopi’s narrow lanes offer tavernas, low-key bars, and shops, but without the hectic pace of bigger resorts. Several pebble beaches and coves are in walking distance, and you can sunbathe or snorkel in crystal-clear water at spots like Bataria or Kanoni Beach. In the evenings, the village has a pleasant buzz as families and couples dine by the harbour under bougainvillea. Overall, Kassiopi manages to be vibrant yet tranquil, making it a beloved base especially for travellers seeking a scenic, easygoing stay.

Who it’s best for: Kassiopi is ideal for families, couples, or independent travellers who want a scenic retreat with enough restaurants and amenities, but still tranquil at night. It’s popular with visitors who enjoy staying in a quaint village rather than a large resort, as it exudes a friendly vibe and local character. The North-East coast is also known for its upmarket villas and quieter luxury, so it suits those looking for a bit of laid-back elegance (many villas with private pools dot the hills nearby).

Boat lovers will be in heaven. You can rent a small boat to explore hidden coves, or join excursions to Blue Lagoon or nearby islands. Kassiopi also makes a good base if you have a car to explore northeast highlights (like the Durrells-famed Kalami Bay, or Mount Pantokrator villages). Nightlife here is low-key, with a few cocktail bars and music venues, but nothing wild, so if you want scenic days and mellow nights, Kassiopi is perfect.

Did You Know? The Roman Emperor Nero himself visited Kassiopi in AD 66! According to historical accounts, Nero stopped in Kassiopi to worship at the Temple of Jupiter here, even giving a singing performance at the altar of Zeus Cassius. One can imagine the astonishment of locals at the sight of the emperor singing. In fact, Kassiopi’s name is thought to derive from “Cassius” (Zeus Cassius). While the ancient temple is long gone (a church stands in its place), Kassiopi’s history as a favoured stop reaches back millennia.

Where to Stay in Kassiopi: Accommodation ranges from family-run apartments to upscale villas. Here are a few recommendations:

Sidari & the North Coast – Family Fun, Beaches & Famous Cliffscapes


Photo: Ernestos Vitoulatidis via pexels

On Corfu’s north coast, Sidari is a lively resort town known for its unique rock formations and ample entertainment. It’s a popular spot for families and young travellers, offering a bit of everything: long sandy beaches, shallow waters, water sports, and a strip of restaurants and bars that keep the town buzzing at night. Sidari’s star attraction is the Canal d’Amour (the “Channel of Love”) a series of narrow inlets and sandstone cliffs sculpted by the sea into otherworldly shapes. Legend says couples who swim through the canal’s tunnel will stay in love forever, and singles who do so will soon find love! Beyond the Canal d’Amour (which also has small coves perfect for a dip), you can explore dramatic spots like Cape Drastis (towering white cliffs just outside Sidari) or watch the sunset from Logas Beach (Peroulades), where a clifftop café offers jaw-dropping sunset views. 

Sidari town itself has a friendly, easy-going atmosphere. During the day, kids splash in the sea and holidaymakers browse the shops. As evening sets in, the central strip comes alive with music bars, cocktail lounges, and even the occasional karaoke or tribute act. It’s fun and energetic without being as frenetic as Kavos. The surrounding north coast includes quieter villages like Roda and Acharavi a short drive away (with long beaches and a more low-key vibe), so Sidari can also serve as a base to explore the whole north end of Corfu.

Who it’s best for: Sidari is great for families and groups of friends looking for a lively beach holiday with plenty of activities. The main beach is very child-friendly (soft sand, shallow calm water), and there are water parks, mini-golf, go-karts and other family amusements around. Couples or solo travellers who enjoy a social atmosphere and beautiful coastal scenery will also appreciate Sidari, as you can have relaxing days and then some casual nightlife in the evenings.

It’s not a place for those seeking authenticity or tranquillity (for that, consider the quieter west or northeast), but if you want convenience, entertainment, and natural beauty (those cliffs!) all in one, Sidari is a solid choice. It also suits travellers who like to do excursions. From here you can take boat trips to the Diapontia islets (like Mathraki or Othonoi) or drive to nearby mountain villages.

Did You Know? Sidari’s Canal d’Amour isn’t just photogenic, but also steeped in romance and lore. According to local folklore, couples who swim through the canal’s narrow passage together are destined to stay in love forever, and single swimmers will soon meet their true love. It’s a story that draws many to take the plunge! Just maybe avoid peak midday when it’s crowded. A sunrise swim might make that romantic wish come true in peace.

Where to Stay in Sidari: Sidari offers a wide range from simple studios to all-inclusive resorts. A few recommendations:

Paleokastritsa & the Northwest – Lush Scenery, Coves & Mythical Beauty


Photo: Wikimedia Commons

Arguably the most breathtaking area in Corfu, Paleokastritsa on the northwest coast is famed for its turquoise bays, wooded slopes, and hidden beaches. It’s the place that, for many, epitomises Corfu’s natural beauty. Paleokastritsa isn’t a single beach but a collection of five main bays and coves, each with sparkling clear water ranging from deep blue to emerald green. The coastline here is dramatic, with steep hills plunging into the sea, and small sea caves beckoning kayakers and boaters. Overlooking it all, on a peninsula high above, sits the Monastery of Paleokastritsa (dating to 1225), still home to a few monks and featuring a lovely courtyard and small museum. The views from up there are jaw-dropping. 

Paleokastritsa has a laid-back village feel despite being a popular day-trip spot; accommodations and tavernas are sprinkled among the hills and bays. Boat trips are a highlight. Hop on a little boat taxi to reach isolated beaches like Rovinia or the stunning Paradise Beach (only accessible by sea). Snorkelling and diving are also popular in these rich waters. Inland, just above Paleokastritsa, you find the village of Lakones with its famous Bella Vista lookout (for arguably the best panoramic view in Corfu) and nearby the imposing Angelokastro fortress perched on a peak. Whether you’re swimming in the crystalline sea, exploring the monastery, or watching the sunset from a cliff top, Paleokastritsa offers a sense of awe and tranquillity that captures the heart.

Who it’s best for: Paleokastritsa is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and those seeking a peaceful escape with spectacular scenery. It’s a top pick for couples (very romantic setting) and also suits families who don’t mind the hilly terrain (the main beaches have shallow areas for kids and you can rent pedal boats). If you’re into snorkelling, diving or hiking, this area will keep you busy, as there are several dive centres, and footpaths through olive groves connecting the beaches.

The nightlife here is low-key (a few bars, maybe a mellow live music venue), so if you want late parties, stay elsewhere. Renting a scooter or car is useful here to explore and reach the hill villages, though local buses from Corfu Town do come to Paleokastritsa. In short, come here if you want to unwind by stunning seascapes, enjoy a bit of adventure (like exploring sea caves or trekking to viewpoints), and don’t need a big town around you.

Did You Know? Locals often point to a small rocky islet in Paleokastritsa’s bay and say it’s the petrified ship of Odysseus. According to legend (from Homer’s Odyssey), the god Poseidon, angered as Odysseus found safe harbour with the Phaeacians here, turned his ship to stone, forever freezing it in the bay. Indeed, one off-shore rock does look strikingly like a ship’s hull with a sail! Paleokastritsa embraces this mythic connection, as it’s believed to be the land of the Phaeacians where Odysseus met Princess Nausicaa. So as you soak in the beauty, you’re also literally in the realm of legend.

Where to Stay in Paleokastritsa: Despite its popularity, Paleokastritsa remains low on big hotels. You’ll find mostly family-run hotels and apartments tucked into the hills. A few top choices:

Dassia & East Coast Resorts – Beachfront Relaxation Close to Town


Photo: Wikimedia Commons

On Corfu’s mid-east coast, just 15–20 minutes north of Corfu Town, lies the Dassia–Ipsos–Kommeno stretch, an area known for its easy-access beaches and resort hotels. Dassia itself is a long, pebbly sand beach lined with olive and pine trees, facing calm, sheltered waters. The vibe here is modern comfort: along Dassia and neighbouring Ipsos, you’ll find plenty of hotels (from boutique-style to all-inclusive), beach bars, international restaurants, and water sports kiosks. It’s very convenient, since you have supermarkets, ATMs, car rentals, and frequent buses connecting to Corfu Town. 

Ypsos, just next to Dassia, has a livelier strip (popular with young adults and budget travellers) with bars and clubs, while Kommeno Peninsula on the other side of Dassia is an exclusive enclave with luxury resorts (and a beautiful little white chapel on a tiny islet). This area’s appeal is that you can relax by the sea during the daylight hours – the water is shallow and great for swimming or trying parasailing/jet-skiing – and then if you want more buzz, pop into Ypsos for nightlife or into Corfu Town for an evening out (very short drive or bus ride).

South of Dassia, the suburb of Kontokali and Gouvia Marina area also offer resort accommodations and the island’s main yacht marina. While it may not have the dramatic scenery of Paleokastritsa or the quaint charm of Kassiopi, Dassia’s draw is its central location and variety of amenities, making it a comfortable base to explore the island or simply unwind by a pool.

Who it’s best for: This area is perfect for travellers who want a convenient, facilities-rich stay. If you’re looking for full-service resorts, family-friendly hotels, or all-inclusive options, you’ll find many here (some of Corfu’s best luxury hotels are in Dassia/Kommeno). Families love it because the beaches are safe and organised, and there are water sports and even a water park (Aqualand is a 15-min drive away). 

It’s also great for first-time visitors who want to be close to Corfu Town but not in an urban environment; you can easily sightsee in the city during the day and retreat to a beach lounger in the afternoon. Young travellers on a budget enjoy Ipsos next door for its nightlife and cheaper stays, while couples might opt for the quieter end of Dassia or a Kommeno villa for a mix of relaxation and upscale dining. Essentially, if you’re after a classic beach holiday with modern comforts and a strategic location to explore the island, Dassia and its surrounds are an excellent choice.

Did You Know? The hit ITV series The Durrells (about a British family in 1930s Corfu) was partly filmed right in this area – at Danilia Village, a replica traditional village built as an open-air museum in the 1970. Danilia is near Kontokali/Dassia and was used as a set for the show (and even for a scene in James Bond: For Your Eyes Only years ago). It’s owned by a local resort company and not always open to the public, but occasionally they do open it for tours or events. It’s a perfectly preserved slice of old Corfu, used for its authentic atmosphere. So, if you’re a Durrells fan staying in Dassia, you’re just a stone’s throw from one of the show’s key filming locations!

Where to Stay in Dassia & East Coast: Here you’ll find some of Corfu’s best-rated resorts. A few standout options:

Pelekas & West Coast Beaches – Sun, Sand & Spectacular Sunsets


Photo: Mike Finn via flickr

If it’s golden sand and sunsets you’re after, head to Corfu’s west coast around Pelekas and you’ll be rewarded with some of the island’s most beautiful beaches and panoramic viewpoints. The hilltop village of Pelekas itself is small and charming, famous for its lookout spot called Kaiser’s Throne, named because Kaiser Wilhelm II loved to ride up here to watch the sun set over the sea. Indeed, the 360° view from Pelekas hill is astounding: the sun sinking into the Ionian, the green valleys below, even Corfu Town visible in the distance.

Down the hill lie several fantastic beaches. Glyfada Beach is one of Corfu’s best; a long stretch of fine sand lapped by crystal-clear waters, with a backdrop of pine-covered cliffs. It has a bit of a trendy vibe with beach bars and music in summer, and all the amenities (sunbeds, water sports). Just south, Kontogialos Beach (sometimes just called Pelekas Beach) is another gorgeous bay with softer development (a couple of hotels and tavernas).

Further south-west you find Agios Gordios, a lively beach village with a huge sandy bay and iconic offshore rock formation. This west coast area is all about laid-back beach days filled with swimming, sunbathing, perhaps a snorkel, and then enjoying unbeatable sunsets. The atmosphere is more chilled-out than the east coast; by night, things are low-key with a few beach bars or hotel entertainment, but many people simply relax over a seaside dinner. Inland from the beaches, you’ll find pretty villages like Sinarades and Kalafationes that feel untouched by tourism. In short, Pelekas and its neighbouring west coast spots give you that classic island escape feeling, where nature’s beauty takes centre stage.

Who it’s best for: The Pelekas and west coast area suits beach lovers and serenity seekers. It’s ideal for couples (very romantic scenery) and families who want a traditional beach holiday, sandcastles, swimming, and not much else to worry about. Surfers and water sport enthusiasts might enjoy the occasionally bigger waves on this coast (when winds blow, you can actually body-surf or boogie board here, unlike the calm east). 

If you value sunset views, you’ll be in heaven, as many hotels and tavernas are perched to face the west. It’s also great for those who like to split their time: day on the beach, evening in a quiet tavern or up at Pelekas viewpoint. The trade-off: it’s a bit farther from Corfu Town (roughly 30 minutes drive from Pelekas to town), so not as convenient for frequent city trips, and you’ll likely want a rental car or bike to get around the hilly terrain. But if a relaxed pace, scenic beaches, and nature are your priorities, consider staying here.

Did You Know? The viewpoint “Kaiser’s Throne” gets its name from German Emperor Wilhelm II, who owned Corfu’s Achilleion Palace in the early 1900s. He would frequently make the journey to Pelekas to enjoy the panoramic view, allegedly declaring it one of his favourite spots on earth. The stone seat at the viewpoint is said to be where he sat to take in those sunsets. Today, a plaque there commemorates his visit. So when you stand at Kaiser’s Throne, you’re quite literally watching the sunset like a king (or emperor)!

Where to Stay in Pelekas & West Coast: Accommodation here ranges from small family hotels on the hill to beach resorts. Some recommendations:

Kavos & the Far South – Beach Bars, Nightlife & a Different Side of Corfu


Photo: Barry Lewis via flickr

At the southernmost tip of Corfu lies Kavos, a destination with a split personality: throughout the day, a laid-back beach with fun activities, and in nighttime, the undisputed party capital of Corfu. Kavos rose from a quiet fishing village in the 1980s to a famous 18-30s hotspot, drawing young travellers (especially from the UK and Europe) seeking sun and non-stop nightlife. The main strip is lined with bars, clubs, pubs, and late-night eateries blasting music until the early hours – it’s Corfu’s answer to Ibiza or Malia. If that’s your scene, you’ll find plenty of themed parties, beach raves, and cheap drink deals. However, Kavos isn’t only about partying. The beach at Kavos is a long stretch of sand with shallow, warm waters ideal for swimming and watersports. You can relax on a sunbed, try bungee jumping or tubing, or join in a game of beach volleyball. There’s a youthful, friendly energy around.

Beyond the strip, the southern Corfu region has some surprisingly tranquil spots: the inland village of Lefkimmi retains a traditional charm with its canal and tavernas, and just a short drive west you’ll find Arkoudilas Beach, a wild, unspoiled beach backed by clay cliffs (a world away from Kavos’ buzz). Kavos also serves as a jumping-off point for day trips. Popular boat excursions head to the blue caves of Syvota on the mainland or to Paxos and Antipaxos islands. In summary, Kavos offers sun and fun in equal measure, and if you venture a bit further, you can discover a quieter authentic Corfu in the island’s deep south.

Who it’s best for: Kavos is best for young travellers and night owls looking for a party-centric holiday. If your idea of a good time is dancing until 4am and sleeping it off on a sun lounger the next day, Kavos will deliver. It’s popular for girls’ and lads’ trips, recent graduates, and groups of friends. That said, the quieter outskirts and nearby beaches can also suit families or older visitors who find a well-reviewed hotel away from the noise (some do come for the cheap deals and then do their own thing). 

Generally though, if you’re not into nightlife or loud music, you might prefer another part of Corfu. For travellers who want to experience a different side of Corfu after seeing the rest, Kavos can be a fun one or two-night adventure for a change of pace. Also, budget travellers often find good-value accommodation here, especially in shoulder season when the party scene tones down. And as mentioned, Kavos is great for boat trip enthusiasts – the variety of excursions available (Paxos, Blue Lagoon, BBQ cruises) is a plus.

Did You Know? Kavos’s transformation into a party hub was rapid. By the late 20th century it was hosting Club 18-30 holidays and booming with bars. While it has a reputation for wild nights, the local authorities and businesses have in recent years tried to balance things to avoid the excesses of the past. Noise regulations are stricter and there’s more emphasis on daytime activities to show visitors a fuller Corfu experience.

So while Kavos still parties hard, it’s not quite the lawless scene of its 1990s heyday (when stories abounded of anything-goes chaos). The community is aiming to keep Kavos fun but safe and welcoming, so everyone can enjoy the sun and the scene in harmony.

Where to Stay in Kavos: Most accommodations are simple apartments or budget hotels, but there are a few standouts for different needs:

Acharavi & Roda – Long Sandy Beaches, Family‑Friendly Fun & Sunset Village Vibes


Photo: Petr Aust via flickr

Acharavi and Roda form the north coast’s main family-friendly resort hub, filling in a gap on this side of Corfu. Acharavi has a long, flat 7 km beach that’s stroller-friendly and gently shelving, backed by a real village community with shops and tavernas that stay open even in winter. Neighbouring Roda started as a fishing village and now offers a quieter, low-key vibe with soft golden sands and shallow waters ideal for young children. Roda is also known for its wallet-friendly all-inclusive hotels and laid-back nightlife (think chilled beach bars rather than clubs).

Who it’s best for: Families with small kids will love the calm, shallow sea and abundance of kid-friendly facilities. It’s also great for anyone seeking a level terrain (easy for prams and mobility) and a convenient base. Acharavi doubles as the north’s local town, while Roda appeals to those wanting a smaller resort feel. Nightlife is low-key, so it suits travellers who prefer relaxed evenings over party scenes.

Did you know? Roda is home to an ancient surprise: in the 1960s, excavations there uncovered the foundations of a 5th-century BC Doric Temple of Apollo right near the coast. The site isn’t much to look at now besides low stone ruins, but finds from this temple are displayed in Corfu’s Archaeological Museum, highlighting the island’s deep history even in this modern resort area.

Where to Stay in Acharavi & Roda: These laid-back north coast villages offer a mix of affordable seaside hotels, family-run studios, and relaxed all-inclusive resorts. A great base for beach lovers and those exploring Corfu’s countryside. Top picks include:

Barbati & Nissaki – Crystal‑Clear Pebble Coves with Olive‑Grove Serenity & Discreet Elegance


Slotted between the busy resort of Dassia and the postcard village of Kassiopi, Barbati and Nissaki offer a low-key, upmarket escape on Corfu’s mid-northeast coast. Imagine olive- and cypress-covered hillsides dotted with private villas, tumbling down to small pebble beaches with brilliantly clear water. Barbati’s long beach is Blue Flag certified, with calm turquoise seas and water sports facilities, while tiny Nissaki has a sheltered cove harbouring boats and a few tavernas. This area is all about relaxation and natural beauty, while both beaches boast Blue-Flag-level water quality and are known as snorkelling hot spots. The vibe is peaceful and exclusive, without large crowds or loud nightlife, making it a favourite for villa vacationers and those seeking a tranquil seaside retreat.

Who it’s best for: Independent travellers, couples, and families who prefer a quieter, more upscale atmosphere. It’s ideal for those who might rent a villa or apartment and a car, as you’ll enjoy exploring at your own pace. If you love snorkelling, swimming, and boat trips, you’ll be in heaven here, as the waters are crystal clear and rich with marine life.

Also, anyone looking for scenic beauty (both coastal and mountain views) will appreciate the dramatic backdrop of Mount Pantokrator and the lush surroundings. In short, Barbati and Nissaki suit visitors who prioritise relaxation, nature and local charm over busy resort entertainment.

Don’t Miss:

Did you know? Nissaki means “little island” in Greek, and in fact, centuries ago Nissaki was just a small rocky islet separate from the coast. Over time it joined the mainland, and today that former island hosts one of Corfu’s oldest tavernas. You can actually dine on what used to be the “little island,” enjoying fresh fish as you imagine the days when fishermen anchored here long before any roads reached this isolated cove.

Where to Stay in Barbati & Nissaki: Tucked between olive-covered hills and crystal-clear coves, this stretch of the northeast coast features modern hotels, hillside villas, and stylish apartments with sweeping sea views. Here are a few standout options:
