Thinking about booking family holiday for next year - it's been a while since I've been to Greece and have never been to Corfu. Thinking about Aghios Gordios but I'm a little concerned about the cost of living now in Corfu- can anyone give any information on prices there - we like to eat out every meal if possible and do like a little drink or two or three!!! Thanks

Depends where you go, but Greece isn't as cheap as it used to be. Still slightly cheaper than the UK though.

This year saw our first ever visits to Greece...Corfu in June, and Rhodes in August. Corfu was definitely cheaper than Rhodes, but we were in a resort called Acharavi, which was, I beleive, exceptionally cheap! We could eat out, from the A la carte not the daily specials (which are there and are good value if you are on a budget), for around 28 euros evening meal, starters for 2 adults, main meals for 3 adults (11 year old son with us who now eats mainly from adult menu) plus 2 or 3 drinks (beers, metaxa etc). Fantastic choice and quality as well in lovely surroundings...we were well impressed . Pefkos in Rhodes had a bigger choice, slightly more expensive but was still reasonable. Unless you are travelling to one of the more upmarket resorts in Corfu, I doubt you will find it expensive. Have fun!
Yes,Rhodes is slightly dearer than Corfu,but there again I found Zakynthos cheaper.
It really does depend on what you want from a holiday.As someone else has said,you can eat"al a carte"and it may cost you a little more,or you can have "the specials"and it will be a lot cheaper!
Corfu is a wonderful place,the people are so friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
An example of a "special" sat overlooking the the Ionian Sea with a sunset to die for! was - 5 adult meals comprising of:3 starters,prawn cocktail,saganaki,and greek salads,2 massive steaks with all the trimmings!,Kleftico,and 2 chicken and mushroom dishes.All served with bread rolls and tzatziki!!We also had 3 desserts,comprising of a massive chocolate gateaux served with fresh cream and sparklers etc! A huge ice cream sundae and a dish of fresh strawberries and cream!!We also had 3 pints of Mythos,2 large bottles of water,a half carafe of wine and 2 ouzos.All this came to a grand total of 31 euros!!! There was also entertainment in the form of the singing waiters!!
What more can I say??!!
After travelling quite extensively over the last 20 years,and wanting to see a variety of places,and vowing not to go back to the same place twice,I chose Corfu 7 years ago,and have not wanted to go anywhere else!!! (been back there ever since!!)
I am sure that your first visit to Corfu will not be your last!!But wherever you go in the Greek Islands,you will have a welcome like no other.
Enjoy,wherever you choose to go
