There is a free minibus service several times a day from outside the hotel to Pelekas which has shops, bars and restaurants (more info at http://www.pelekas.com). Otherwise it is a 30 minute walk with the first 15 minutes uphill.

A taxi would probably cost about 10 euros each way. The local taxi driver is called Thodoris and his number is 6944962940.

There is also a regular bus service between Corfu Town and Glyfada.

My advice would be to enjoy your beach holiday but have a day in town on the bus, get the free minibus to Pelekas for an evening's eating and drinking and get a taxi back to the hotel, and rent a car for a day to see a bit more of the island. The week will pass very quickly!

Incidentally, the local car rental company can be found at http://www.corfumegarentacar.com and may be cheaper than the companies offered by the tour operator.

Thanks for that information it's a great help, had visions of being stranded. My husband says I get withdrawal symptoms if I can't go shopping every day.
