Corfu Hotels in September
The weather in September is still nice enough to make a hotel near the beach an appealing prospect.
The Aquis Park Hotel in Gouvia, 8 km the north of Corfu Town, gives you the best of both worlds. Set among the tranquil surroundings of citrus and evergreens, the hotel is just 500 metres from the beach and organised water sports. The stunning landscaped gardens measure an impressive 20,000 square metres. Rooms are available with garden or sea view, and there are two restaurants and two bars. The hotel also offers outdoor swimming pools, children's playground, table tennis, conference hall, gift shop and Greek folklore entertainment.
If you'd rather stay in the heart of the old section of Corfu Town, then consider the Arcadion Hotel. The Arcadion overlooks the Spianada and the arcades of Liston, so the guys can return to the hotel and relax with a drink while the ladies go out shopping for souvenirs!
Corfu Beaches for September
Corfu Town has a number of decent beaches within walking distance, nice for a quick dip or day of windsurfing. If you really want pristine waters, however, try a bit south at the beaches from Benitses to Bouka. The east coastline is speckled with sandy and pebble beaches, calm surf and plenty of nightlife. The region is also easily accessible by car.
Bars and Restaurants
Alternatively there Corfu Sailing Club Restaurant, situated right on the harbour by the Old Fortress. As expected, seafood features prominently here, from local fish caught right off the shore to mussels and scallops. Meat-eaters will find the Venetian calves' liver a delight, while vegetarians should try the moussaka. Top off with a cheese pie in honey and light Corfiot wine for dessert.
The Venetian Well is a romantic delight, set around a 17th century well in the old town. Dishes tend toward the Mediterranean, with prawns, black angus steak, fresh salads and Greek and international wines. Open all year round, be sure to make a reservation as this restaurant tends to book up early.
