Eating and Drinking
We could have tried to do our own list of recommendations, but we couldn't have made it better and more exhaustive than this one: https://www.townhouseco.co.uk/things-to-do/eating-drinking/?dest=corfu
Our personal favorites :
Mikro cafe: nice spot day and night, to have a coffee or a cocktail under the pergola
To Tsipouradiko: typical greek Taverna with a nice atmosphere, simple and good food
Venitian Well: classy restaurant in a charming little square.
Swimming spots
Faliraki Bathing Beach with restaurants and bars (walking distance from the old town)
Cape Drastis: to view the island's dramatic cliffs that disappear into turquoise waters
Rovinia Beach for its secluded charm and white pebble shores
Porto Timoni
Kanali tou Erota, also known as Canal d'Amour, is a picturesque beach and cove on the northern coast of Corfu. It's famous for its unique rock formations and a narrow channel where couples are said to find eternal love if they swim through it.
