Adventurous things to explore

There is so much to see and do on Corfu that sometimes you don’t know where to start. We have listed our top 5 activities. We have done all of the activities ourselves except for paragliding, that one is still on our wish list.


Kathreena Horse Riding

If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience you should go swimming in the sea with Nate and his horses at sunset. The feeling of total freedom on the back of your horse while in the water watching the sun going down is magnificent.

Rent a boat from Kaminaki Boats

To see the east coast of the island from a different angle you should definitely rent a boat.  There are some beaches that are only accessible by boat.  If you rent a boat from Kaminaki Boats they will give you a map which shows the different beaches from Nisaki to the beautiful port of Kassiopi. You can also rent paddle boards and Canoes.

Corfu Trail

The Corfu Trail is a special walking route with a length of about 190 km from the white cliffs at Arkoudillas in the extreme south, to the rugged coastline at Cape Agia Ekaterini in the north of Corfu.

The Corfu Trail is an initiative of British Hilary Whitton Paipeti, who has lived on Corfu for more than 35 years and has several hiking guides about Corfu to her name. She plotted the Corfu Trail and created a walking route that merges old and almost forgotten paths into one special distance path from south to north.

From Kaminaki Beach you can walk a part of the Corfu Trail on a beautiful path along the various beaches. With beautiful views of the rocks along the coast. And maybe you’ll find a deserted beach where you can take a refreshing dip.

Eating lamb chops with bubbles at sunset

We love watching the sunset and eating lamb chops, so we thought to ourselves, why not combine both! 

We decided to go to Pelekas to buy some lamp chops and a fresh Greek salad from Pelekas Grill. We picked up a cold bottle of prosecco and drove to Yaliskari Beach. There is this little old harbour right next to the beach, it is the perfect spot to spread out your blanket or towel and enjoy the most beautiful sunset while enjoying your chops and bubbles.

Paragliding

Paragliding is another great way to explore this gorgeous island.  The beautiful bays and beaches can be seen even better from above.  Away from the crowds in complete silence you will have the most wonderful experience admiring Corfu from a completely different angle.

Akra Drastis

The northernmost point of Corfu is Akra Drastis.  With its steep cliffs, clay rock, and the small beach which is only accessible by sea.  There is a path down to a small cove where you can go for a swim. It takes about 30 minutes to get there, but it is definitely worth it. You can buy soft drinks or water there.
