Planning a guys' trip in Corfu
Venetian fortresses and Ionian coves — the greenest Greek island. For a group, weigh a block of hotel rooms against one whole-home rental: the house is usually better value per person and keeps everyone together, while a hotel is simplest for a short stay. Expedia shows both for Corfu.
Corfu after dark
The Liston's cafes trade late and expensively and act as the town's living room. Actual clubbing sits at Kavos in the far south, which operates June to September for a young British crowd and is a shut village otherwise. Corfu Town keeps small bars through the Campiello lanes and the old Jewish quarter, while Sidari and Ipsos occupy the middle ground.
What things cost in Corfu
Dinner at a village taverna comes to 15 to 20 euro a head, while a Liston coffee at 5 to 6 is buying the view. The three-day combined museum ticket is 14, the Achilleion 7 and the Museum of Asian Art 6. Blue town buses are around 1,50 and green buses to Paleokastritsa a few euro. Kumquat liqueur starts near 8 a bottle in town.
What's actually worth your time in Corfu
The Spianada is the largest square in Greece and has a cricket pitch on it, a leftover of the 1815 to 1864 British protectorate, and matches are still played. The Liston arcade alongside was built by the French to echo the Rue de Rivoli. The Old Fortress costs around 6 euro. At Kanoni, Mouse Island sits directly beneath the airport approach path.
What to eat in Corfu
Corfu cooks Venetian. Sofrito is veal in white wine, garlic and vinegar; pastitsada is rooster stewed with spice over thick hollow pasta and eaten on Sundays; bourdeto is scorpionfish reddened with hot paprika. Kumquat liqueur is a British import turned local industry, and tsitsibira is Corfiot ginger beer made nowhere else in Greece. Order all of it off the Liston, where the prices halve.
Corfu with kids, realistically
Aqualand at Agios Ioannis is the island's big water park and swallows a whole day. Paleokastritsa's coves are sheltered enough for small swimmers, whereas Glyfada on the west coast takes Ionian swell. Campiello's alleys are stepped and narrow, so a carrier beats a pushchair. Blue town buses are cheap; the green KTEL buses reach the villages but stop running early evening.

Common questions
What's the best stay for a guys' trip?
A whole-home rental with space to spread out — a games room, a pool, a big TV — keeps the group together and beats a row of hotel rooms on price per person. Choose a central location near the courses, stadium or bars you’re there for.
How much space do we need?
Budget two guests per bedroom plus enough bathrooms; a group of 6 fits a 3-bedroom home. Check the listing’s guest cap and bed setup.
How far ahead should we book?
Three months for big event or peak weekends — homes near stadiums and golf book early. Weeknights are easier and cheaper.
