Detailed Itinerary:

Day 1

Morning

  • I landed at 7am and Cam was landing at 2pm so I went to the beach in the meantime
  • Nautilus for breakfast (5 min from airport)
    • Taxi might’ve overcharged me.. 20 EUR to get there
    • Cute place on the water
    • I got the club sandwich and a Freddo cappuccino both very good
    • Would recommend
  • Mon Repos Beach (5 min walk from restaurant)
    • Bare minimum beach club
    • There are areas to get changed but they are not nice
    • 14 EUR for a beach bed for the day
    • It was good for the time I had but would not recommend or go back

Afternoon

  • Head back to the airport to meet Cam
  • Take a taxi to Paleokastritsa
    • There is a line for the official taxis at the airport 
    • There is a sign with the destinations and costs
    • Agree on taxi price before getting in 
    • They are legally required to accept card but some still give a hard time and only want cash

Evening

  • Dinner at Monastre
    • We made reservations several weeks in advance
    • We sat in the no minimum section because we weren’t how difficult to be to spend 60 EUR each, in hindsight it would have been pretty easy and better views
    • There was a lot of wasps flying around, but if you ask the server they will bring you this smoke thing that gets rid of them

Day 2

Morning

  • Breakfast at Paleo Inn Hotel (8 EUR and great value)
  • Take the bus up a few stops and walk rest of the way to reach the boat meeting point
  • We tried to book 2 hours but due to weather conditions the captain only took us out for 1 hour
  • We got to see
    • Blue eye cave
    • La Grotta Beach (we came back here the next day to swim on our own)
    • Liapades Beach
    • Limni Beach
    • Chomni Beach (personal fav, and they let us get off the boat and swim here)

Afternoon

  • Agios Spiridon (few minute walk from where we were for the boat)
  • Aragosta Beach Club is here, for 2 sunbeds it was 80 EUR and 40 EUR minimum spend on food. We skipped that and just layed on the beach for free
  • There are restaurants and supermarkets around there for lunch/snacks
  • I forget the name of the restaurant but right around there you will see a sign for 5 EUR Gyros, we went there and it was really good

Evening

  • Less than 15 minute walk back to Paleo Inn Hotel
  • Went to Nausica Tavern (right next door) for dinner and could not recommend this place more! If you go on a Saturday (make reservations) you will get an AMAZING show!!! 

Day 3

Morning

  • Breakfast at Paleo Inn Hotel (8 EUR and great value)
  • About 10 min walk to La Grotta
    • Get there early it fills up fast, we arrived around 10am
    • It’s pretty much all big rocks so you just lay on that
    • There’s a restaurant/bar there but we didn’t go

Afternoon

  • It was getting too busy so we went to Agia Triada Beach (less than 10 min walk)
  • We had lunch at Akron Beach club, it was good but the food to price ratio wasn’t great

Evening

  • We went to Belvedere for dinner
    • No reservations but still got the best seats in the house (all the way in the corner over looking the sea)

Day 4

Morning

  • Croissant and coffee from super market next door 
  • Arrived at Poseidon Beach Bar when they opened (9am) to reserve sunbeds (25 EUR each)

Afternoon

  • Our hotel let us keep our stuff there and also shower/change after the beach which was really nice
  • Took the bus to Corfu Town
    • Bus stop is right outside of the hotel, there isn’t really a designated sign though
    • Bus was always 10-20 mins late
    • No eating on the bus
    • Can’t be wet from the beach
    • It took us much less time to get to Corfu Town than google maps said

Evening

  • Walk around Corfu Town
  • There are lockers right near the bus stop “easy lockers” would totally recommend
  • There are a lot of jewelry shops 
  • We had dinner at Oinos kai geuseis
    • Could tell it was family owned and you see their kitchen inside
    • The older woman paints these really cute cards
    • Food was good
    • No reservation, no wait but it did get busy
  • Took the bus to the airport
  • Airport was crazy packed even around 8pm
  • The line to drop off checked bags was crazy
  • Really small airport, there is no lounge for traveling within Schengen area
