Corfu - things to do

-
I had only one week there and 10/10 would return! It's an amazing place so I would always recommend it for your next summer holiday! 



Here are the places I visited and I would go back if I can. I'm only adding them as touchpoints, let me know if you have questions. 

Boat trip 

A must-do when you’re at an island – they have amazing options which allow you to go and see a beach which cannot be reached from the mainland – only from the sea. I managed to see the Paradise beach thanks to such a trip. 



Achilion - Sisi's palace
I did like it even though my partner said that it was not a "real palace" but built just for the desires of some chick. However I did fancy walking around the beautiful rooms and trying to imagine what her life was like back then. 
They have audio guides in a number of languages. They even had Bulgarian which is not very common so was pleasant. The audio guide itself is useful but at some points it can get boring. 



Canal D'Amour 
At sunset the small beach there looks great and is very romantic. I don't believe in any ancient sayings but went for the view. The canal itself was a little bit overrated but if I can go back in time, I would still go there even after knowing what it's like. 
Be careful with the stairs to the beach - it's old and not well maintained so a bit risky.

Kerkira (Corfu) - the capital
It was not very close to where we slept, but the visit was worth it. 
They have those sweet tiny streets typical for the Italian cities, many souvenir shops as well as restaurants. Also - nice sights to visit and again - great views! 
Love the archs
Amazing beaches
I slept in the South of the island so mainly visited the beaches around the hotel - up to half an hour drive approximately. I'm very happy with Marathias beach and the bars there as well as with the Agios Gordos beach so would totally recommend. 



Any questions/ comments - I'm at your disposal, feel free to ask anything about this marvelous place!

Yours,

Lalaria Beach Skiathos

If you are planning a trip to Skiathos, you have most probably heard about Lalaria beach. This amazing "must-see" destination which is hard to reach but worth it. I myself was very passionate about seeing it and have no regrets.       How to go there? There is a number of options as many companies offer boat tours. There are tours only to Lalaria and there are also combined trips. The combined ones seemed great to me as they give the opportunity to visit Lalaria and Tsougrias the same day so you don't have to give away two of your days for beaching, but just one. The combined trips cover both beaches, show you the caves (I have never found those interesting, honestly) and also give you the opportunity to spend time in Kastro. This is the old town where you can see the fortress and there is a beach as well. The cost is € 15-20 per person. The boats leave from the old port at 10 in the morning and return at 17-18. There are different options depending

Issos Beach, Corfu

This is one of the southern beaches of the island and was great!  If you love beach bars, this may not be your place - the bars there are not like the ones at other beaches, but the beach itself is very nice!  Fine golden sand, crystal-clear water... Exactly what I wanted - line which I used almost every day looking at my feet through the magical small waves we had.  At the place where we chose to sit, there was a small bar from which we could get drinks and food - salads, sandwiches, Aperol.... And it was nice since there was light music. The toilette was close too - just up the hill. With the locker from the outer side... :D In general, I would recommend the south beaches - no stones, the water is exactly as one would expect from a Greek island.... There are umbrellas and sunbeds - the cost for 2 beds and the umbrella is 7 euro, which I find reasonable. There is free zone too. What I really liked is that at greek beaches people usually come later

Wake Up! - Varvara Day 2

Had a second day at the Wake Up beach. It is amazing and I couldn't stop myself from visiting it again. This time the water was not as clean as the previous day, however the place was still as wild and great!  As I have already tried the yoga, this time I decided that I can skip it and try something new instead. Krassen still had a group and everyone is always welcomed to join, it's a very open event, however I was  not in a workout mode.  Instead I wanted to take a walk on the cliffs and be able to enjoy the view from there! Looked amazing!  I also like to try something new and see a different view or the same from a different angle as this gives amazing opportunities. Taking a walk on the cliffs on the left, I followed a path between the trees and bushes and if you follow it to the end you will be able to enjoy the same view - there is a very small secluded area where the sea touches the shore and manages to transform the rocks into pebble beach. I
