Beaches
Dassia beach is easily accessible by car or bus (number 7) and less than 5km away. The combo sand/stone beach is great for families. Our favorite beach bar is Malibu where there’s great drinks, food and a pool if you’re looking for the best of both worlds.

Barbati beach — and especially Piedra del Mar restaurant/bar — is one of our happy places. It’s 10km away by car, and is accessible by the green bus. The pebble beach’s crystal clear water is popular with locals and tourists alike. Make sure to reserve a spot during weekends and during the high season in July/August.

The beach of Liapades is about 20min (13km) away by car and combines some of the most romantic views with crystal clear water. The rocky sides of the beach are perfect for snorkeling and discovering little hidden corners. Be mindful though that the drive to Liapades is very steep and is only suitable for adventurous drivers.

Our favorite souvlaki place in Corfu city. We always get an order of the Greek salad, pork and chicken souvlaki. Located at a popular square in front of the town hall, it’s a busy restaurant, so make sure to factor some wait time in.

This is one of the highest rated restaurants in Corfu town and is well worth a visit if you love fine dining (and don’t mind the price tag that comes with that). The name is derived from its beautiful location next to a historic well in the city center.
