My family and I visited here recently and had an excellent time. It is really charming and located on a very beautiful beach. Our rooms were very comfortable and the food was great. My family really enjoyed this vacation!
I left Greece during my travelling period and after my last time here I had to come back! I stayed here and thought it was one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever had. It was just perfect. I love everything about this place especially the food and leisure activities!
Corfu Backpackers hostel is one of the best places we have stayed in europe.
Though we visited in the off season, and it wasn't full we still had an amazing time with the staff , other fellow guests we met there and on the island. We had a great day out on the Quads!We visited remote villages, took tons of fun pictures and locals riding sideways on donkeys, The cooked Breaksfast, lunch and homecookeddrinner was tasty and plentiful everyday.
They even came and picked us up at 6 am from the bus station, not something we expected but it was part of the service.The rooms were heated with amazing sunsets and sea views.
The beach was nice, went swimming and loved it while some locals thought we were crasy for doing it.
We will definetely be back in the summer!Melina and Mathew
