As in all Greek islands, the main accommodations for vacations are studios, which are small apartments (often one-bedroom or two-bedroom) equipped with a kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom. These are usually family-run and often reasonably priced. The managers of the studios are generally very helpful and friendly, as are the residents, and they provide affordable accommodation that is suitable for the typical needs of a vacation on a Greek island.
The island of Corfu is very touristy; you can find all kinds of accommodation in hotel s, resorts, and campsites, for example in Dassia, Ipsos, Paleokastritsa, and Roda.
Since the island is quite large, it is advisable to choose the place to stay carefully to avoid constantly moving in search of your preferred spot. There are areas with sandy beaches and calm, warm seas, others suitable for sports that require wind, some more lively, others more suitable for nature and relaxation lovers or families with small children. Below are the areas with the most accommodation options along with some useful characteristics for choosing. Since all of them offer a good number of sleeping solutions, the list follows a clockwise order along the island's perimeter starting from the capital. The most significant ones are: Corfu Town, Benitses, Lefkimmi, Kavos, Aghios Gordis, Glifada, Paleokastritsa, Sidari, Roda, Acharavi, Kassiopi, Kalami, Barbati, Ipsos, Dassia, and Gouvia
It is the capital of the island and a true city that develops around a large square: the beautiful Spianada. It offers many accommodation options and is ideal for those who love, on vacation, to admire the various architectural styles of the place, wander through small shops and characteristic alleys, frequent typical bars and restaurants, and enjoy lively and festive evenings. Being centrally located, it is also a convenient place to reach the various beautiful beaches of the island.
