Travel Guide: Corfu - Greece - Europe

Corfu Marina Corfu Marina
photo by: E Key
Corfu is a Ionian Island located between mainland Greece and Italy. It is a very nice island to visit and especially popular with British tourists.

For travelers with an appetite for adventure Corfu offers a good starting point for a trip to Ionian.

The backpacker set almost exclusively settles at the Pink Palace on the west side of the island. A massive hostel complex, the Pink Palace is a hostel resort unto itself for the 20-something crowd, with pools, a club, a bar, a bevy of events (booze cruise, cliff diving, car tours around the island, toga parties), air conditioned rooms, shops, and much more. Anyone over 28 would be advised to stay well away.
