We are a 60 yrs old couple who would like to visit Corfu next year. Which area would you suggest.? |
Travel Info We love scenic quieter places with local bars and tavernas. Travel Tips Hello, This may help. We are in our late 50's & have been to St. Georges South which, whilst nice is a bit off the beaten track so transport needed to see more of the island. We hired a scooter which was fun. Last year we stayed in Kalami (near Kassiopi) and I can recommend both places as they are quiet & picturesque with lovely bars/restaurants & beaches. Some lovely sea trips from Kassiopi. Having had a good look around we are going to Roda in September (staying at Afrodite Hotel right opposite the beach) as it is lovely, plenty of shops, bars, restaurants & a terrific beach. It is fairly flat so good for me as I use a walking stick. Kalami is very hilly so if either of you have walking difficulties would not recommend this. I managed last year but with some discomfort. People are fantastic & make you feel really welcome. If this is you're first time to a Greek Island you must try authentic Greek food, it's to die for and you can recognise what you are eating. I bet you go back again for more. We usually go to Zante in May which, again, is a fantastic island, and Corfu in September. Pure heaven. Good luck& have a great time. Others I'm assuming you might want to avoid the big Tourist Centres and nightclub areas. There are some fairly quiet resorts just along the coast road North of Corfu town. Would recommend the Kontokali Bay Hotel - nice hotel with private(ish) Beach - a 10 minute walk to the small town centre - but plenty of taxi's to there and other nearby towns. chose carefully your travelagent,a lot of resorts in corfu cater for the younger party animal I would go to Kefalonia instead of Corfu... Check this out: http://kefalonia.foi.org.uk/ It belongs to the same group of islands (Ionian), yet it is quieter with more quality for your money overall... Other nice and quiet places can be found in 1. Patmos (dodecanese), http://www.patmos.com/ 2. Naxos (cyclades), http://www.naxos-greece.net/ As a general advice, choose places off the beaten track and you will never regret it. Have a nice time in Greece! st george south is a quiet small,friendly resort, my mother goes there 3 times a year she loves it I am going there in a week. Will answer upon return. The corfu town. Nothing less. |
