Отдых на Корфу Holidays in Corfu

Traveled in two with my sister 6-17 September. The hotel as a whole was pleasant, in principle it justifies its 3 stars. True, before moving into a suitable room, we changed 3 options. At the beginning they wanted to get us a single with one bed, and then a double also with one bed, but we insisted that we need 2 beds and in the end we got them.
Pros of the hotel: 1. Quiet location away from noisy villages (it is also a minus),
2. Nearby is the capital of the island - Kerkyra, it is convenient to travel by bus during the day or by a rented car - about 30 minutes with all stops by bus, by car for about 15 minutes. Also nearby is the party village of Ipsos, in the evening only by taxi (10 euros).

3. Beach. There are two of them. Or hotel, directly at the hotel, on the cat. you can go down the path, with free umbrellas and sunbeds. There is the purest water, but entry into the water from the ladder, because. rocky terrain. Another option is to drive 600m. on the hotel "minibus" to the pebble beach in the town of Barbati, the sunbeds there will already be paid -6 ​ ​ euros - 2 sunbeds with an umbrella). Plus: there are taverns in Barbati where you can dine. The minibus runs 3 times a day, but you can ask and they will take you when you need it, they can drop you into a supermarket on the way, buy something you need. In general, the coasts and beaches on such a small island are completely different, and everywhere is beautiful in its own way, so you have to go and not sit in a hotel.
4. Nutrition. We had HB. The food is pretty good, I was in Crete both in 5 stars and in 3 stars, in the latter case everything was much worse... Breakfast, everything is as usual: muesli, cheese, ham, jams, butter, delicious yogurt, like cottage cheese , eggs, coffee, cocoa, tea, pastries.
Dinner was never repeated. Always cooked something new, Always fresh vegetables, a choice of 2 hot dishes, 2 side dishes, and that was enough, we did not complain. If you want to have lunch, you can go to Barbati.
5. The territory is small, but very good. green, everything is literally full of vegetation. The view from the window of the building overlooking the sea is amazing.
Cons: 1. The hotel, as it seemed to us, is very poorly cleaned, both in the room and in the building itself, the feeling that they do not clean at all. Although from the outside everything looks good and quite well maintained. Linen changed mine 2 times, as well as towels.
2. The absence of any entertainment, there is no promenade, i. e. there is absolutely nowhere to go out for a walk in the evening, you only need to go by car or taxi, buses run only until 19 hours. Although Ipsos and Kerkyra are close, you still can’t reach them on foot, and at night you can’t run into a taxi - double fare : ))
In general, I really liked the rest in Corfu, and there is something to compare with. Despite all the disadvantages, and the fact that the Labyrinth company upset us a little with the air flight: We flew there late in the evening with a flight delay, and back, instead of the promised departure in the evening, we were given tickets for the morning again with a flight delay by Aeroflot-Nord, which is why 2 days of rest just disappeared, I really liked the rest and 12 days turned out to be not enough.

Local attractions: the capital of Kerkyra with its old city in the Venetian style, ancient fortresses, the church of St. Spyridon, this saint is the patron saint of the island, in the church are his relics, which are imperishable to this day; Paleokastritsa (there are a lot of boats and yachts, but a place of stunning beauty, you should definitely go; the islands of Paxi and Antipaxi are also very picturesque. You can’t tell everything about the island - you have to see it. All the coasts are picturesque (see photo). Souvenirs: local liquor From Chinese oranges, I recommend buying in duty-free, where it is much cheaper. The rest can be purchased in Corfu.
On the way to the airport, we passed good hotels in Luis Kerkyra and Kontokali, they seemed very nice to us, although the cost is probably appropriate. An economical option is to take an apartment near the city or in the village, since there are a lot of taverns there and there are no problems with food. Average bill 15-20 euros with drinks per person. I will definitely return there, because. now I know exactly where to go and what else to see. Corfu is just a fabulous island!
