3 Days In Corfu, 13 Photos To Inspire You To Visit

10 days ago, as I was talking with a friend of mine, I wanted to leave the grey weather of Paris and go somewhere sunny to enjoy some actual summer weather. After a few messages that sounded like “if you find anything, I will go with you”, and voila.

That’s how we find ourselves four days later, first passing through Brussels (with a stop at the wrong airport, a big fail), we ended up visiting Corfu – as you already know the travel destination we agreed on, in Greece for three whole days.

While I’m not usually a beach person, I must say it was nice not to run around all day, relax and enjoy the scenery without a worry in the world or to have to check the weather forecast to know if some potential rain wouldn’t ruin our plan.

Our hostel/hotel was located on the north of Corfu, right on the beautiful beach of Agios Gordios.

Agios Gordios Beach side.

Of course, it’s a rocky island, so there are many stiff hills or steep stairs. While it might get pretty tiring under the scorching sun, the views are always rewarding once you get at the top, and hey, it’s good cardio! Lush nature and clear blue water make everything better.

On the way to the beach, you can find many tiny shops full of souvenirs, beach supplies, restaurants and supermarkets. Also, acute pastry café!

Since we only travelled with a carry-on, we didn’t bring any sunscreen, which we quickly had to buy to not fry under Corfu’s scorching sun. If you can, I recommend buying it before the trip as it’s relatively expensive to purchase sunscreen there.

The beach is dreamy and the water crystal clear, so even if, like me, you’re a bit scared of the sea (I mean we can’t know what lie deep down there, right?!), well, you can still thoroughly enjoy it because you can see everything, yay.

The beach is also a great spot to watch the sunset on the horizon. If you’re a couple looking for a romantic getaway, Corfu is a great idea.

How gorgeous is this view? Watching the sunset and listening to the waves crashing on the sands and rocks is one of the most relaxing things. You can empty your mind and enjoy the moment.

You can find many activities offered by most of the hotels on the coast, such as Kayak, scuba diving, snorkelling, and so on. Make sure to get some high-quality scuba gears to enjoy it fully! If you’re into scuba diving, you’ll love Corfu.
There is, of course, some booze cruise for students as Corfu is a pretty popular destination among college students.

But there’s a lot more than only beach-related activities.
There’s pretty much any activities you could wish for on this island. For example, you can go hiking, cycling, horse riding etc. Also, monasteries, Mt Pantokrator (highest spot of the island), and Achilleion palace are pretty famous landmarks.

Corfu Town

For more city life you Corfu Town is what you need, you can find many more well-known shops such as Mark&Spencer or Sephora etc…But also a lot of small independent shops sell sunglasses, bag or leather sandals, and local foods or goods.

The stylish restaurant Safran.

The architecture of the city is also typical as on any Greek island.  Some of the main spots of Corfu Town are; the port, the new fortress, the old fortress, the Liston and the old town…
We decided to visit the city by circling it to see some shopping venues, the old fortress, the new fortress, the port and the old town. The town is adorable and has a chill vibe, but be careful because it gets quickly tiring to walk if it’s hot.

We only did the old town, the port, and the old Fortress as the sun was scorching this day; it quickly got very tiring to walk around all afternoon.
Remember always to wear sunscreen. Your skin is precious!

But I can assure you that the view from the top of the old Fortress is a-m-a-z-i-n-g.  But I will keep more of it for another post!

Overall, Corfu is a destination that can fit pretty much everyone needs as a summer travel destination if you’re looking for something pretty laid back but not totally and you don’t mind the heat that it.

For a few days to laze around away from the city like me or has a stop between other Greek Islands if you’re islands hopping you should visit Corfu!
