Corfu's resort areas like Dassia are relatively accessible, with flat promenades and beach facilities. However, Corfu Old Town and many hilltop villages feature uneven cobblestone streets and steep steps that can be difficult for wheelchair users and strollers. Having a private driver gives you the flexibility to choose destinations that suit your mobility needs and avoid problematic terrain.
Corfu is considered a very safe destination. Crime rates are low and the island is well set up for international visitors. As with any vacation destination, standard precautions such as watching your belongings in busy areas and keeping valuables secure apply. Roads on the island can be narrow and winding in places, making a knowledgeable local driver a practical choice.
Tipping is not mandatory in Greece, but it is a welcome gesture. In restaurants, rounding up the bill or leaving around 10% for good service is common practice. Tipping drivers, hotel housekeeping staff, and anyone who provides attentive service with a small cash amount is appreciated. Tips are generally given in cash rather than added to a card payment.
Corfu is packed with highlights. Corfu Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is just a short drive south and is full of Venetian architecture, narrow lanes, and lively squares. The island's varied coastline offers countless beaches worth discovering with a private driver.
Greece uses the euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger shops in Corfu, but it is a good idea to carry cash for smaller tavernas, local markets, and villages away from the main resort areas. ATMs are available in Dassia and in Corfu Town, which is a short drive away.
The best time to visit is from May to October, when the weather is warm to hot and the sea is perfect for swimming. June and September offer a sweet spot of great weather with fewer crowds than the peak summer months of July and August. Spring brings lush green landscapes and mild temperatures ideal for exploring the island by road.
Greek is the official language of Greece. In Dassia and other resort areas of Corfu, English is very commonly spoken in hotels, restaurants, and shops due to the island's long history as a destination for international visitors. You will generally have no trouble communicating in English, though a few words of Greek are always appreciated by locals.
Corfu has its own distinctive cuisine with Venetian and French influences. Try sofrito (veal in white wine and garlic sauce), pastitsada (slow-cooked meat with pasta), and bourdeto (spicy fish stew). Alongside classic Greek dishes like grilled octopus, tzatziki, and fresh seafood, local olive oil and kumquat liqueur are also worth sampling during your stay.
