Corfu Greece

photos and tip for visiting Corfu Greece

On Kerkyra, or Corfu, no matter where you're staying on the island:  "All roads lead to Corfu town", and you can arrive by the well-organized local bus system, or by excursions offered virtually everywhere tourists stay.

A better option, however, is car rental:  you can come and go as you please; and if you're a family of four, you may find it cheaper to rent a car than to pay for tourist excursions (depending on how kids' fares are priced.) 

Car rental on Corfu is inexpensive by European standards. With your own wheels, you can stay in town at dusk, when Corfiots of all ages stroll in the park and narrow streets, and greet friends. Thousands of swallows flock overhead: dusk is prime-time to be in Corfu town. As in all parts of Greece, even the youngest kids are up-and-about until midnight, in summer time!
