Venetian charm, lush greenery and sparkling Ionian waters define Greece’s emerald island. This elegant destination invites travellers to stroll through its UNESCO-listed Old Town and explore centuries-old olive groves. Shaped by Venetian, French and British influences, it blends Italian sophistication with Greek warmth. From cypress-framed bays to hillside villages and the neoclassical Achilleion Palace, the island radiates timeless beauty.

The main towns are accessible by bus, but the island’s secret beaches, mountain villages and Venetian charm hide down winding roads that public transport ignores. Here’s why hiring a car in Corfu unlocks the real island:

  • The stunning west coast beaches like Paleokastritsa, Glyfada and Rovinia require navigating scenic mountain roads with hairpin bends
  • Traditional mountain villages like Old Perithia and Lakones perch dramatically on slopes with panoramic views, but buses never reach
  • The pebble beaches and secluded coves of the north-east coast, from Kassiopi to Nissaki, scatter along coastal roads, perfect for exploration

Traffic Rules

Traffic Rules

Driving on the Greek island requires patience and defensive skills, as local habits differ dramatically from the strict adherence to rules in Northern Europe. Familiarise yourself with these essentials before hiring a car in Corfu:

  1. Drive on the right side with overtaking on the left.
  2. The legal alcohol limit is 0.5 ‰ BAC, dropping to 0.2 ‰ for drivers with less than 2 years’ experience.
  3. Mountain roads are narrow with blind curves – honk your horn before tight bends to warn oncoming traffic.
  4. Speed limits are 50 km/h in villages and 90 km/h on main roads, although locals often treat these as mere suggestions.
  5. Local driving is spontaneous and emotional – expect sudden stops, U-turns, and creative manoeuvres without warning.
