Corfu, Greece Guide- A Couple on a Budget

Always wanted to go to island hopping in Greece? Lucky for you, I just made your trip that much easier! 

For one whole month, I island hopped across Paros, Naxos, Anti Paros, Milos, Sifnos and Crete (and Athens). The rest of the islands on this itinerary I have heavily researched for my hopefully-soon next trip to Greece! 

You best believe I spent weeeeeeks researching everything there was to do so I didn't miss a beat! Lucky for you, I ain't gate keeping any of it! 

Please enjoy this authentic experience around the Greek Islands. Please note, you will NOT find Santorini or Mykonos on this map. 

This map includes: Paros, Naxos, Anti Paros, Ios, Milos, Sifnos, Crete, Corfu, Zakynthos and Kelfonia, and of course, Athens as that is likely where you will fly in and out from. 

Filled with authentic experiences local to these islands, tried and true restaurants, can't-miss sites, and of course beaches!

Island Hopping in Greece 

Corfu🇬🇷

Corfu, still untouched by the clutches of mass tourism, is a haven of authentic Greek hospitality. The north-central part of this island is a treasure trove of contrasts—gyros kiosks sit comfortably next to upscale beach bars, all at prices that won’t break the bank. September is the sweet spot to visit; the blistering summer heat mellows, and a refreshing breeze caresses your legs while you sip on a kumquat cocktail. 

Whether you crave the adventure of charter boat rides to untamed beaches or the plush comfort of beach clubs, Corfu has it all. And whatever you do, carve out time for Corfu Town. The experience of tasting local dishes and wandering through its narrow, stall-lined streets in the evening is simply unforgettable!

The Greek hidden gem

Corfu, known as Kerkyra in Greek, is a stunning island located in the Ionian Sea off the northwest coast of Greece. Its rich history dates back to ancient times, with influences from various cultures including the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, French, and British. This diverse cultural heritage is reflected in the island's architecture, cuisine, and traditions, making Corfu a unique destination in the Mediterranean.

The island's capital, Corfu Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for its elegant Venetian architecture, narrow cobblestone streets, and historic landmarks. The Old Fortress and the New Fortress are prominent features, offering panoramic views of the town and the sea. Corfu Town also boasts numerous museums, such as the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Asian Art, which showcase the island's rich history and cultural connections.

Corfu's natural beauty is another major draw for visitors. The island is known for its lush green landscapes, olive groves, and stunning beaches with crystal-clear waters. Some of the most popular beaches include Paleokastritsa, Glyfada, and Sidari, each offering a unique charm and a range of activities from sunbathing to water sports. Inland, the island is dotted with traditional villages, where visitors can experience local customs and hospitality.

In addition to its natural and architectural beauty, Corfu has a vibrant cultural scene. The island hosts various festivals and events throughout the year, celebrating everything from music and dance to religious traditions. The Corfu Easter celebrations are particularly famous, featuring processions, music, and the unique custom of "botides," where clay pots are thrown from balconies to mark the resurrection of Christ. This blend of tradition and festivity provides a lively atmosphere for both locals and tourists.

Corfu's cuisine is another highlight, influenced by its multicultural history. Traditional dishes often feature fresh seafood, locally grown vegetables, and olive oil. Some local specialties include "pastitsada" (a spicy meat stew with pasta), "sofrito" (veal in white wine and garlic sauce), and "bourdeto" (a spicy fish stew). The island's vineyards produce notable wines, and local olive oil is highly prized. Dining in Corfu offers a delightful exploration of flavours and culinary traditions, making it a paradise for food enthusiasts.

Accommodation is an important decision to make prior to planning your route but our firm suggestion is to stay somewhere in the northern part of the island. We chose to stay in Pyramid City Appartments - a budget friendly accommodation is the North-East side with great views to the Albanian coast but very poor connections. 
The roads can get very narrow in this side of the isle therefore if you're not comfortable driving in other countries and with rental cars you're better off staying near Paleokastritsa with very good connections but less relax.

Porto Timoni beach

A stunning and wild secluded beach, renowned for its unique natural beauty famous for its double bay formation, where two beaches are separated by a narrow strip of land. The clear, turquoise waters and the surrounding rugged cliffs create a striking and dramatic landscape that is visually stunning.

Asides from what you may have read somewhere else, getting there is NOT an easy trail. The trail is moderately challenging, but it rewards hikers with breathtaking views of the coastline and the sea. Account for at least 30-40min walk down the hill and bring water, food, sun protection and proper shoes. 
There are also boat trips available from nearby beaches or villages that can take visitors directly to Porto Timoni.

Also, it’s a natural beach so no toilets down here.

Although it's super beautiful and worth-seeing, you might not want to spend the entire day here as it's a relatively small place with a looooots of tourists.

There are no bards or shops here, so bring lots of water and food if you are gonna be here for a while.

A hat or umbrella would be good since there are not many shadow places.
