Went 6 years ago to Kassiopi - all I can say is don't sit behind the head-case (apologies to all head-cases) who shrieked "Brake BrakebrakebrakeBRAAAAAAAKKEEE" while we were landing. Corfu has, apparently, the shortest landing strip in Europe. And go to Toula's taverna on the north coast - it's in Ag something or other, and the sea is feet from the tables, the food is slowly lovingly made, and it's all a bit romantic and special at dusk. (Unless you're sitting near me, forcing kleftikos into my face at unnatural speeds) Enjoy your break.

Soz, north east coast. Still don't know the name of the place though- think it's near the bay where lawrence durrells house is. sorry about the durrell mention, it's unavoidable.

We stayed at the Corfu Chandris hotel:

We were VERY happy with this hotel as we booked last minute

However the hotel is not on the best beach but close to Corfu town.

We went on a coach tour of the island and would recommend staying in/near Paleokastritsa if you want the idyllic beaches of the brochures, it was beautiful there

Deffo go on tour or hire car to visit:

Kanoni terrace to view Mouse Island
Achilleion Palace
The Monastery of Panagia
Corfu Town for shopping, sight seeing etc

Have fun, we loved Corfu!

We stayed at Roda (spiros apts) It was lovely. Very scenic, great beach etc. Must see's were; boat trip to Corfu town (stopping off at gin factory and Kassiopi), Corfu Town, Paleokastritsa, Bella vista. I agree about airport, it looks like in the middle of sea, very basic a few years ago too. I would recommend it though.

Definitely north east coast. St Stephano is lovely, a small bay with a few tavernas. We atayed in the next bay, Kerasia, which was so peaceful (despite the war ship cruising up and down due to Albanian unrest!)IN fact it was so lovely we didn't stray far, though Corfu town is meant to be stunning.
Are you looking for accommodation recommendations or is that sorted. Would love to go back, sigh. Enjoy!
