First Time in Corfu? 5 Mistakes to Avoid

Save time and money with these local tips for first-time visitors to Corfu.

1. Underestimating distances — Corfu's winding roads mean a 40 km trip can take over an hour.

2. Not pre-booking your airport transfer — taxi queues in high season can be long.

3. Only staying in one area — the north, west and south are all worth exploring.

4. Skipping the Old Town in the evening — it's at its most magical after sunset.

5. Forgetting cash for small tavernas and beach bars.
