Corfu (Kerkyra) is the greenest of the Ionian Islands, lying off the northwest coast of Greece a short crossing from Albania. Its UNESCO-listed Old Town, shaped by Venetian, French, and British rulers, sits beside olive-covered hills, a mountainous north, and beaches ranging from the cliffs of Paleokastritsa to the sandy shores of the south. The island also has a distinct cuisine, with dishes such as pastitsada, sofrito, and bourdeto found nowhere else in Greece.
Corfu's nightlife is split by region. Corfu Town offers rooftop bars, wine bars and cocktail lounges in the Old Town and Campiello. The northeast coast around Ipsos has a bar strip with tropical cocktail bars and music pubs. Kavos in the far south is the island's party hub of clubs and karaoke, while Sidari in the north has relaxed beach bars and karaoke.

Nightlife tips
Stay safe and have fun.
Most venues warm up after midnight — earlier arrivals get easier entry and shorter queues.
Carry ID, even if you look older — bouncers check at most venues.
Plan your ride home before you go out — last transport runs earlier than the clubs close.
