Travel Blogs from Corfu, Greece
Lounging around in Greece
This is a top pick! We spent a few days doing, well, not much really in Corfu. We stayed at a hostel/guesthouse that seemed to have more 'staff' than guests, most of them Aussies working for board and food. The 'traditional greek cuisine' that they advertised was cooked by ...
Corfu With Company.
This is a top pick! ... wandered around the old Corfu Town which is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, enjoying the very different architecture to other parts of Greece. Like other places in Greece it seems everyone is waiting for the 1st of June (the 1st day of summer) ...

Cruzin'
Hello Friends!!! I'm torn between it being a relief and a disappointment that I now speak English freely among all the other English-speaking folks. (I'm on the cruise.) While there are over 40 countries represented by visitors, America absolutely took ...

Corfu, Greece Cruise 1
... work today after 8 AM and I was able to "GET ME OFF THE SHIP"!!!! My roomie recommended going to the old fortress in Corfu, Greece. I walked there by following the coast line and it took only about 25 minutes so it was approximately a 1.8 mile ...
Getting wet in Corfu
Corfu was surprisingly warm today, around the mid 70s, which was warm enough for us to spend some time at the Aqualand water park. I've never been to a larger water park and we make is just in time before they closed for the winter. Me and my buddies ...
Needed some sunshine again!
... to SE Asia. Had no intention of staying in wet; cold; & miserable England so bought a cheapish flight out to Corfu and the sunshine. I did Greek island hopping many, many years ago but not the Ionian islands. Corfu is okay but ...
Sailing adventures begin

Greek Salad (lots)

Isle of Corfu Sailing

The pink palace awaits
Took off from Athens for the pink palace on a night bus-ferry. Didn't get much sleep so I had a very long day. Went on a quad safari of the Island and I was thoroughly impressed. It is amazingly beautiful. The hostel is a little crazy though. Party ...
Corfu

Oh...The Pink Palace!
... was fantastic. Everyone was dancing, talking, and just having a good time...as one should when basking in the sun in Greece! That night was karaoke night! Our Aussie friends from Santorini were at Corfu for the night and we had a magnificent time ...
To Alba or Not to...
... the Aegean Sea (as most Greek islands are), it is one of the most popular Island destinations in Europe. Since it is on Greece's northwest coast (Ionian Sea), not too far from southeastern end of Italy (the heel of the "Boot"), many backpackers make a ...
The last island :(.....
So after three week of Island hopping it has come to an end on Corfu. But we went out with a bang. We stayed a couple nights at the Pink Palace a place where Renee stayed a couple years ago. The pink palace is alot of plate smashing, Ouzo drinking and ...
Slow down you’re moving too fast!
We had a ball driving around Corfu. And probably the best, most exhilarating part was when we got left behind on the run home and ended up doing a tiki tour all around the port trying to find the depot to return our 4 wheel vehicles. We thought it was ...

Unfaltered in the face of fear
Today we spent coasting along the Ionian Sea on a Boat Cruise. The weather was perfect and we had a blast. Christina faced here fear of heights like a champion and hurled herself off a 50 foot cliff and plunged into the Sea. We all got a turn to climb up ...
We need free internet!
... view of a purely blue sea, breathable air, and tall green forested mountains. I look around me and think "This is Greece! :)" The small winding streets, the squat white houses, the friendly tan people. It's great! The perfect lazy ...
Pink Palace.. The real gong-show!!
... Kevin got us some beer (hes very generous that way... i think Erin and i only bought probably 4 drinks the whole time in Corfu....) but then we headed down for supper. Erin went to sit with Jeremy and Justin, and these four girls from California... who ...
The Pink Palace
... the bar for a few hours. My internal clock is now completely confused, with the time zone change and the all-nighter on the ferry, so I haven't seen Corfu during the day yet. I have at least eight days here, though, so I'm sure I'll see it ...
