saltshell Posted July 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Obviously the beach is out. What do you suggest for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeHeartCruising Posted July 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2023 It’s a very nice town to just explore on foot once you figure out the method you want to use to get there from the ship. I walked it. About 30 minutes each way. But there were taxis and buses. There are 2 old Venetian forts, lots of cafes and restaurants, churches, shopping, etc. Lots of places to sit and look at the water. A nice promenade to people watch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yhave1ne Posted July 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2023 We actually cruised to Corfu late October - like last week of October - we actually enjoyed the beach! The water was amazingly warm, the beach was clean and the sand was very fine. I don't remember which beach on Corfu we went to unfortunately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @yhave1neWe're going this year Oct 29 - Nov 9; not sure exactly which day is Corfu as I don’t have itinerary handy. Would you say a long sleeve t-shirt layered w/lightweight rain jacket is adequate? Anything particular we need to be aware of - it's our first time to Corfu. Thank you!

That attire is definitely appropriate. Nothing in particular to be aware of. If you can rent a car, do so. It was so cheap and we were able to do all of the things that NCL offered as individual excursions. We found the beach just riding around town. We also went on a boat excursion around the coastline for like 60 euros for 4 people. We did the achilleion palace tour and just enjoyed the freedom renting a car provided for us. We got back in plenty of time and even had time to do some shopping. It was my first cruise and I planned all of the excursions instead of going with NCL. The savings were tremendous - instead of paying 1000+ for 4 people, I paid under 400. Don't be afraid to be adventurous. Just be sure to keep track of the time. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where was the car rental pickup/drop off? Was it convenient to the port so walking distance? Who did you use? So may questions and I appreciate your insights.

The car rental was Royal car rental and it is located in the cruise port passenger terminal that you walk through when you get off the ship. It is extremely convenient and I paid 50 to 60usd at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yhave1ne Posted August 15, 2023 #9 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I did have an international driver's license which is really easy to get. I went to the local AAA office to get mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherrihall128 Posted August 22, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 22, 2023 We went to Corfu last year in early November. We had sunny weather in the 60s-70s. We did this tour with Viator: https://www.viator.com/tours/Corfu/Shore-Excursion-Leisurely-Small-Group-Tour-of-Corfu/d4279-21019P2 It was low-key and saw many of the sights on the island. We had the option to go on a short boat ride around the coast at Paleokastritsa Beach (my husband's bucket list item for Corfu) to caves.. or you could take the option for a short hike up to a monastery overlooking the bay. We had some time to go around Old Town at the end of the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
