and any ideas on good self catering apartments and also when the best time to visit.

I would recommend Kassiopi as a good place to visit.

The best part of the island depends on how old you are. Young people seem to like Kavos and Sidari whereas older more mature people would probably like somewhere quieter such as San Stefanos NW. We go to San Stefanos because it is very laid back and is suitable for the older person or maybe for couples looking for somewhere nice and relaxing.
It all depends if you are looking for somewhere busy with lots of nightlife or quieter with lots of nice tavernas or maybe somewhere in betweenie?

I would echo what Jules says. Me and my girlfriend (29 & 23) went to Sidari last year and really enjoyed it but its basically just a commercialised beach resort catering for British tourists. Don't think it would be the right resort for 'older' people looking for a quiet relaxing break. Maybe Kassiopi, San Stefanos, Paleocastritsa (which is beautiful) or Roda would be better. If its a taste of traditional greek life you're after Sidari wouldn't really be suitable.

ps I'd avoid Kavos at all costs. But thats just my opinion.

re best resort in Corfu

I would recommend the North East of Corfu - Kalami, Kaloura, Agni Bay, Agios Stefanos. Direct Greece has some lovely apartments. We've been all over Corfu, Sidari, San Stefanos (West Coast), Agios Gorgeous but nothing is quite like the North East - apart from the beaches - mostly pebble but great for snorkelling and very clear water.

it depends how old you are and what you like doing.if you are young and like the nightlife then deffo go to kavos but if you really like nice beaches and things like that then i would recomend a different resort!

I have not actually been to Corfu in May, but have been to Kefalonia which is also one of the Ionion Islands and May is my favourite month, it's the start of the season, everywhere is clean and fresh, the spring flowers are really beautiful, weather usually nice occasionally had a little rain but nothing to spoil your holiday, go for it.

Best Places to Stay in Corfu

If you want somewhere quiet, try Benitzes, if you want something quite loud and like night clubbing and pubs stay in the Resort of Sidari, especially "Bolero Bar", extremely friendly staff (sexy sam and gorgeous george) and welcoming host (Matthew).

Any other queries email me on laura@needham1979.freeserve.co.uk and I'll only be to glad to help.

corfu

Thanks for that Laura. I will have a look at the place you mentioned.
Wanted somewhere quiet, so have been looking through loads of hotel reviews on this site, its so helpful!!
Sorry....but for some reason, my last post was posted on here twice, no idea why :roll:

Thanks again :wink:

if you want somewhere quiet have you considered San Stefanos NW this is near Sidari so if you wanted a bit more excitement you could visit. It is a lovely resort with a range of tavernas and bars and a wonderful beach quite a lot of discussion on a early thread if you scroll back . I am useless at putting on links etc.

I second that Trina I have stayed in san stefanos with my boyfriend and it is lovely quiet with a lovely atmosphere and beach and sidari is only a short taxi ride away if you want something a bit more livelier.

the kapetanios apartments are in alovely setting in San Stefanos if you dont mind a little climb. the pool and pool bar are very clean and the staff friendly. I have also stayed at the Voula which again is great however you really do have a climb home every night if you stay there!!!! If you want to do a do it yourself package then try Sunset Taverna he does have his own website. They do not have own pool but you can use others on the resort. This is on the flat as are The Olga apts also good with own pool. In fact I have not heard a bad report on any accom in the resort. As you may have guessed I am a bit of a fan.
