Family travel

I travelled to Corfu with my family. I really enjoyed local cusine and locals were really kind. I also very love cats and there were plenty of cats. They were really cute. Honestly, local villages look bit questionable, but overall I loved Corfu and I hope I'll visit again

Group travel

Me and my friends stayed at an Airbnb for 4 nights and each spent less than 200 euros for a good location. It’s a very walkable lovely sweat friendly and peaceful small city to spend a vacation with friends or family. I highly recommend because the Greek food and Greek people are the best!! It’s cheaper than big cities and you can take boat tours to other islands. There’s not too many historical places to visit but the cute cafes and restaurants are fair and delicious.

Solo travel

A very green island with lots of beautiful views. There are many small, secluded beaches with crystal clear water. You can also find sandy beaches here. On the island, there is a charming town of Corfu with numerous monuments and atmospheric Italian-style alleys. The island will certainly enchant everyone. However, it's quite a popular place, so it can get crowded during the season.

Solo travel

I went alone to Corfu in early July and absolutely loved the place. Everyone is very friendly, and the Old Town is charming. Some of my activities included a one-day boat trip to Paxos and Antipaxos (this was the best thing I did), a one-day trip to Sarande in Albania, and a food tour around Corfu Town. The entire time I was there, I felt very safe and comfortable.

About me

Heyaaa! :) I'm Anastasia, 28 years old. I’m Greek, currently living and working in Germany, but I’ve been transferred to Corfu for the summer season! In my free time, I love joining the local festivals and wandering around the city. Food is definitely my love language, so I’m always open to that too. I might not be the best guide since I’m not originally from this part of Greece, but I’ll try my best 🥹
