Frequently asked questions
❓ How do I get to Corfu?
By plane: direct flights from Bucharest (seasonal, ~2h). By car + ferry: Igoumenitsa → Corfu Town (~1.5h ferry). Complete Corfu guide.
❓ Do I need a car?
Recommended! The resorts are spread across the whole island. With a car, one day you’re in Sidari (north), the next in Glyfada (west). Without a car you’re confined to one resort. Buses exist but are infrequent.
❓ Which is the best beach in Corfu?
Glyfada (fine golden sand) is the top recommendation. Agios Gordios is the most spectacular in terms of scenery. Sidari (Canal d’Amour) is the most unique. Kassiopi (Bataria) has the most turquoise water.
❓ East or west coast?
West = spectacular sandy beaches + memorable sunsets, but sometimes waves. East = calmer water, better for young children, but pebble beaches. North-east (Kassiopi) = a good compromise between the two.
❓ When is the best time to visit?
June and September = perfect (pleasant temperatures, quieter beaches, prices -30%). July–August = busy, hot, peak prices. May and October = may rain, but beautiful and affordable.
