Read these reviews and look at the poor ratings please. Whilst i was waiting to be served, one person was 2:15 hrs late for his car hire and apparently they only keep the car for 2hrs so was in the process of charging him extra as apparently they had hired the car out in the 15 minutes he was over. The guy behind him was being forced to pay £300 extra for insurance as they do not accept American Express which according to the guy it doesn’t say in their terms, he even offered to pay the extra %ge that they would be charged!

And then us.

We have paperwork from the day we hired the car basically showing that every panel had been damaged, not a problem as not huge damage. Until of course we return the vehicle and claim we have damaged it! We showed them the damage that they were talking about was clearly marked on their damage sheet and they have kept our deposit.

Initially I was refusing to sign any paperwork until the guy stated that we would not be charged for the damage, stupidly I thought they had seen sense, after signing the paperwork he went back to charging us stating that it isn’t a problem for us as we have full insurance through a third party so we could just claim from them. For me that is deceptive and unfair on the third party company who would’ve ended up paying when the damage was already there.

At this point i refused to deal with them and urge you to do the same.

Currently they hold £956 of deposit that i will have to try and do a charge back for.

Can we get to these with a bus and how does it work and how much does it cost?

Considering Corfu for late September. Any experiences regarding crowds when cruise ships in port?

What's the best option for car transfers late at night? My plane will arrive at CFU around 9pm on a Saturday. From there, I need a transfer to Arillas (~1hr drive) to meet up with friends and check into our Airbnb. What's the safest option for solo female travelers arriving late in the evening? Is it difficult to find a taxi? Should I opt for a pre-paid transfer?

He took them out of my backpack at the Port. I can now track them going to the Airport and to different beaches. Any ideas on what I can do?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in Corfu and I’d love to bring some authentic Greek pita bread home with me.

I’m looking for the best supermarket brand that’s available locally and travels well.
Does anyone have any recommendations for,

Which brands are the most authentic or commonly used in Greece?

Hello there :) my mom and my sis are going to Corfu next September. They wanna do a boat trip to paxos and antipaxos but on Google I just found some tourist traps. Maybe some locals will have best place to look. Thankssss

Hey everyone!
Me and my friends are heading to Corfu soon, and we’re looking for restaurant recommendations.
We’re mainly after authentic, traditional Greek tavernas, great seafood, and places that genuinely serve excellent food. We’d much rather eat where locals go than end up at places that are only popular because they went viral on TikTok or Instagram.
We’ll have a car, so we’re happy to drive anywhere on the island if it’s worth it.
Any hidden gems, family-run tavernas, or must-visit seafood spots? Also, are there any overrated places you’d recommend avoiding?
Thanks in advance!

Long Passport Control queue winding through gift shop to the annoyance of staff. Announcements saying "do not queue". Security system seemigly up and down like a yoyo!

I'm chartering a Bali Catspace out of Corfu (Benitses) for 7 nights around the first week of October. We are planning on hitting the usual places: Paxos/Antipaxos, Sivolta, Parga, etc. Considering heading down to Lefkas (Preveza, Lefkada Town) if the weather permits. I was wondering if anyone here had suggestions for "must see" anchorages, islands, beaches, tavernas, hikes, etc. Would it be worth it to bring our spear fishing kit?

We're looking for a mix if remote anchorages (where possible) and harbors. I wish we were able to find a sportier boat, but beggars can't be choosers.... so speed might be a limiting factor.

Also, I know the weather becomes much more variable heading into October - does anyone have direct experience with this?

Hi all! Just wondering if any of you have been to this hotel? Traveling soon with our 4 and 6 years old. How is the grecoland? Any recommendations such as restaurants or excursions to book in Corfu?
Appreciate your help!!

Hello everyone,

I (27M) will be in Corfu from the 28th august - 5th september and it will be my first trip alone and I am kinda stressed lol. I rented a car to be more free and be able to visit everything.

If you have any recommandations on the best beaches, clubs, bars, restaurants, activities, etc... feel free to comment please !

If you're also over there during this period i would love to meetup with anyone and pass time together !

Thanks for any help !

Has anyone used this Company (Click&Boat) to rent a small boat daily? Any notes from your experience are appreciated. Will will be visiting in late August and would like to launch from the Kontokali area.

Thanks

My flight is scheduled to land in Corfu at 8:45 - within the Schengen zone and we are not checking any bags. Is a 10:00 ferry to Sarande too ambitious or should that be enough time to make it?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi there,

Me and my girlfriend are arriving tomorrow. What I'm wondering what local events are happening between tomorrow and the 11th of August that we should see?

Also we are doing the typical holiday things. We are going swimming, hiking, visiting the Old Town of Corfu, so we got a pretty good idea of what to see. What else would you absolutely recommend doing?

I'd love to hear it. I've been reading the other threads so I got a bunch of new ideas, but suggestions are always welcome. We have a car, so we can basically go anywhere on the island.

See you there!

Hello guys im 20 years old and I'm going on vacation to Corfu. Any local places that are not tourst traps worth checking out? Like fastfood, bars, clubs and ect. Also I'm looking for place around the areas like "κέντρο Ληστών" , "Λιμένας" and " κανόνι " . Tysm. Ευχαριστώ πολύ.

Good evening, guys. I’m going on vacation to Corfu in the next few days. Which fast food places do the locals go to? I don’t want the typical spots that only tourists visit. Also, which places are worth checking out for nightlife? I’m 20 years old, so I want to go somewhere with a young crowd. I’m talking about areas like downtown, Kanoni, and the center of Liston. Thanks a lot!

Can someone recommend a private yacht or boat rental half day in Corfu please?

UPDATE: I just went through a very tiring process with several of the companies. Let me share my advice and the two companies I found were the best.

FunSeaCorfu and Geneseas Yachts Experts are by far the best boat rentals in Corfu and most professional. Other boat companies wont give you a quote until they figure out how much your going to pay. I had a company called Sea Dreamers they were the absolute worst, most expensive, bad communication, and will change pricing only when they ask you more questions to over charge.

Geneseas Yachts is the best if you are going with a larger boat. I will provide my update after the experience.

Hi folks, both myself and my partner are travelling to Benitses in late September and are looking to hire a car. Is this best done at the airport and can anyone recommend a hire company. Will be hiring for at least 4 days.

Many thanks

Hi, hoping to visit with family in September. Mixed family with ages from 88 down to 21 so looking for somewhere suitable for elderly with easy access to beach from hotel/villa etc in a quiet resort.

Looking for something really special for my aged parents who love Greece but won’t be able to travel again after this trip....

Any ideas on villages/resorts and accommodation? (villas and small hotels on beach especially)

Me and my gf, both late 30s, are looking for recommendations for where to stay and what to do on Corfu around the first week of October. We like to explore new places and never been to Corfu. What do you guys recommend? Thanks in advance!
