We Moved to Corfu Greece? GREEK ISLAND LIVING 🇬🇷 The Best of the Island
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- We're still on the Greek Ionian island of Corfu and trying to decide, should we live here? Or should we move on to another Greek island? We're spending a couple of days exploring the island of Corfu, from beautiful look offs, to beaches and towns to find the best spots on Corfu.
We start off at Loggas Beach or Sunset Beach which has the most beautiful view with incredible cliffs and turquoise water. From there we head to Cape Drastis for more incredible views and cliffs. These have to be two of the most beautiful spots in Corfu and we flew our drone in both locations.
Later we went to the town of Sidari where we stopped at Kantina Grill for a delicious Pork Gyro. We also explore the town, it's beaches and Trevor gets a hair cut.
On the next day we head out in our rental car to explore more places and towns in Corfu. Our first stop of the day is Palaiokastritsa where we visited a couple of the town's beaches.
Our second stop is Agios Georgios, another small beach town with a really long, walkable beach.
Because we're thinking about staying here longer term, through out the video we talk about the things we look for in a location that we stay for longer periods, including good internet, food, etc.

Welcome back to Greece! My wife and I are from Toronto and we moved here permanently last year. We live in the Nafplio area. It has a similar vibe to Corfu town (very Venetian) and is only a 2-hour drive from Athens. Would highly recommend exploring the Peloponnese region as a potential place to live. It's absolutely stunning and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Best of luck!
Great choice. Welcome to Greece
Thanks for watching Frank - Trevor
Welcome to Sparta. I mean, Greece.
Wow, you folks are sure a long way from Pape & Danforth ...
Thank you for all your amazing love and support! If you'd like to join our TH-cam Channel here (and get access to exclusive content) click here 👉 th-cam.com/users/delightfultravellersjoin Stay Delightful! ✌- Anna & Trevor
YOU CHOSE RHODES
Welcome to Greece! Enjoy our beautiful country!
Thanks so much! We're happy to be here 🤗 - Anna
I vote is Naxos! We LOVE LOVE Greece as you do! It feels like home! Great tour of the island and outstanding drone shots! Hopefully we will see you Sunday! ~Cara 💖
We hope you can make it to the LIVE guys! 😀 - Trevor
Love it here...great place to put roots down.
Such a beautiful place. Thanks for taking us along.😎
Our pleasure Eleanor 🤗 - Anna
Wow! I am from Corfu and I feel really happy to see all these beautiful places that you have visited already! Hope you enjoy my island and love it as much as I do!
Where would you move if you have 400k and 1M in corfu? I know the marina area gouvia, ag. Stefanos, Benitses, old town, Ksamil, sarandia, paxos, pretty well. Been there for months, but what would be the best place to live in Corfu? I want it to be apocalypse proof: veggie garden, 4000m2 land. But also make it rentable for tourists. In the north? Middle? Daniella? South seems death. Ionian is better for growing food, than other islands south
Thank you for this video guys, Corfu is my dream island! Hope I'll live thee one day ❤❤❤
Wow is all I can say!!! So beautiful!! I think you should absolutely stay there!! Thank you for making such good videos.
So appreciate that Christina 😀- Trevor
Beautiful country! Great movie again.
🤗
The parts of Corfu you went to looked so nice! So interesting that all the different areas feel so distinct. Good idea getting that cute little car - definitely helps a lot with being able to explore the island. We're loving the bright sunny weather in these Greece videos. Great holiday vibes 😎
We could seriously spend a lot of time on Corfu. The island is big and there's so many great little towns 😀 - Trevor
Oh m7 goodness it is absolutely breathtaking guys 😍😍😍 I can’t imagine the beauty of it in person. Looks surreal
There was a lot of OMG moments in person ha - Trevor
Have just subscribed to your amazing channel. My husband and I are half way through our year of slow travel and it’s been neat to hear familiar stories and see so many places we have just visited.
Welcome aboard Naomi. Thanks for subscribing! So much coming up from Greece here 😀 - Trevor
So Beautiful! Enjoy! 😎
🤗
Wow. Corfu is beautiful. Different blue than the Dominican blue but absolutely incredible. Trevor, your drone shots keep getting better and better! Keep up the great work guys!
Thanks Matty.. it was easy to capture stunning shots in this location with the drone that's for sure. The water is so different here than the DR 😀 - Trevor
I love Corfu! Such beautiful clear water.❤️
It's definitely one of our fav Greek Islands now! - Anna
Those white cliffs were quite nice.
And a lovely bay on the other side.
You got it made! Enjoy
Corfu is pretty incredible! We did not expect those cliffs on our way there 🤗 - Anna
Gorgeous! 😍
May of this year I visited Corfu for several days. Took a morning ferry from Sarande in Albania. Stayed at a backpacked place called the Pink Palace on the west coast. Really enjoyed the island I would go back. Some good beaches, nature, great people and food
MOVING THERE?! Woohoo!!!! Okay, now I’m hooked. Just subscribed.
Woohoo welcome aboard! - Trevor
If you are in the Cyclades you are so close to to so many islands and the Greek mainland so this is going to be a good series! And islands on the off season are going to be different and special!
That's what we're thinking as well. Less tourists and more laid back - Trevor
I hope you enjoy your time here!!!
👍
Love you guys safe travels watching from NB Canada
Thanks Rob... we hope all is well back in NB - Anna
So beautiful!
It really is Angie!
Beautiful
One of my faves in the Cyclades is Paros… My sis can’t come to Las Terrenas with us this winter, so we’re thinking of a Greek island visit in early June. Interested to see which island you’ve chosen to live, and why. Maybe we’ll see you there!
One of my favourite Greek islands
Oh man! I have to go back to your videos to find out because I cannot wait 😂
haha let us know where you think it might be 😀- Trevor
Great to see you on corfu, our favourite holiday Destination, you must try san stefanos north west. Great restaurants and nightlife and the beach is to die for.Dave.
We'll put it on the list! - Anna
We visited Naxos earlier this year we visited Kozi and had the Naxian salad - it was the best salad we had in the whole time we spent travelling in Greece!! Plus great location right on the beach and bonus cute cats ☺️
🤗
As a big fan of gyros myself this video gave me life! I want to go back to Greece so badly. Enjoy guys! greets from Arequipa,Peru 😊.
Luv hearing that Milo. We're so glad you're enjoying the videos 🤗 - Anna
same here.
Corfu is my favourite island so far
Thought the haircut was great 👌😁.. bring on Greece 🙏🌺❤️
💇🏻♂
Beautiful place for sure. That beach definitely had a Cape Breton Highlands feel to it and those gyros added a good old Nova Scotian donair flavour to the video...minus the french fries...maybe. 🤔 Lol. I can see how a Caper would feel at home there.😎
It's like a donair without the donair NS sauce honestly 😅 - Trevor
Beautiful location!!!
Thanks for watching Janice 🤗 - Anna
Your live premiere notification gave it away! I'm a good boy though and won't spoil it until the live :)
haha 😉 We did that on purpose thinking a few folks might know where we are - Anna
A lush Mediterranean paradise!
🤗
Plan to visit corfu next year from sarande
Hi, I love watching your videos. I think Naxos is your choice. Naxos is top of my list for my next holiday to the Greek Islands.
You'll find out Sunday :)
👍🥰🇨🇦🇨🇦. Great video.
🤗
My favorite place in the whole world.....xx my ex partner is from Corfu, and I have been lucky enough to live out there a couple of times xx go back to Agios Georgios that beach bar that was to the side of your camera is great & beautiful at sunset!!!
So many places great to go and see Corfu town in the evening is great!! lots of people watching and great cocktails, I havent been in a couple of years and I am missing it alot!!! xxxx
You can get a boat across to an almost private beach in Pelokastritsa, I think they leave you for 4 hours then come back for you, I seen dolphins in the waters, its incredible. x
Kassiopi is my favourite place in Corfu 😊
🤙
Omg love Corfu - great island to live in for a while - and corfu town is great too. Also there’s a tiny island up north called Othoni - try to go over night - also anti paxus
Thanks for the tips! This place is incredible 🤙- Trevor
I love Corfu, i think you guys decided for Paros, hopefully, is an awesome island. Cheers
🤗
Please do try pita souvlakia! I much prefer it over gyros. Basically pork or chicken grilled over coals, in the same pita. Chicken is a little more expensive but almost always my choice. Ask for "apo ola" to get all the trimmings, and ask for 'me sauce' or 'me tzatziki' depending on what style of sauce you prefer. The regular 'sauce' is a cocktail/whiskey style sauce (My preferred one for sure).
I was so interested to see Agios Georgios. My husband and I visited Corfu in 1986 and stayed there for two weeks. If I recall correctly, we stayed in the only hotel in Agios G. You could hardly call it a village, never mind a town. The beach was virtually empty, certainly no loungers. There were two roads leading to it, one to the north end of the beach and one to the south end and just a dirt track between. In the 1980s most of the tourist resorts were on the opposite side of the island and we deliberately chose somewhere that would be quiet. It certainly was!
Wow such good memories and what a story. It's certainly a busy place these days but nothing like other locations in Greece - Trevor
Guessing Naxos. Just got back from there. Wonderful place. Good internet (at the places we visited).
🤔 hmmm.. (you'll find out Sunday 😀)
Greece is a beautiful place
gyros with fries...lol...i, for one, am so thrilled about Greece!! Eagerly awaiting your next installment!!!
You on team fries or team no-fries Taki? 😀- Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers team fries!!
you know, Trevor... a gyros is a great snack...a gyros with fries is a meal!!!
@@taki2003 😂 so true!
Beautil beaches and drone shots. Looking forward to more. Are you going to be living in Crete? All the best. Thanks and take care.
🤔
@@DelightfulTravellers Paros
Very nice but 2 far very expensive are you guys going back to DR ? So many rivers , so many beaches and mountains to explore I’m in love with DR 1- playa Fronton ,hermitaño beach , moron beach , ecolodge samana , playa bonita , Bahia de las Aguilas beach , salto socoa monte plata, salto el

Corfu is beautiful. Check out hidden gems like Nissaki N.Corfu!
welcome guys....come to rhodes again....
🤗
Kefalonia all the way ❤️🌞
how iis it going?~that is incredible .
It's going great 😀Cheers - Trevor
i go to corfu every year in a small village called arillas on the west side l little up from paleo sadly dont live in greece but call arillas home nice locals and amazing food
We'll be sure to look that spot up! - Trevor
👌👌👌👍👍👍😮😮😮
Great video. How much tide is there? Of course, I know where you are now.
Thanks Eric. Not sure on the tide but I don’t think it changes too much really 😀 - Trevor
Hi,
Where do you rent that smart car ?
Is it less costly than a other small cars ?
👋😄
guys, awesome video, but that thing that you ate was gyro, not a euro :)
Is it Paros next.. Maybe so x Enjoy Paros if you are going there next
🤔 hmmm
Spelling error , its kalami amazing beach, lots of pebbles but the water is so clear you an swim or go diving here, there is the harbour round the corner becare of sting rays, also good restaurants that serve lobsters in this area, if you like fishing go to kasiopi , happy travelling
Naxos or Paros for SURE!
I have watched your previous videos and you liked both islands but my guess is Paros, although i'm hoping for Naxos.
I'm going back to both of them next summer...again...7 years straight...last time for a while before we change to another place in Greece....or not....🤥
Sounds like you have some great plans for next summer Tobias! 😀 - Trevor
We live in Kassiopi, NE Corfu and we have great fibre internet
Hi, could I ask which car rental you used for the smart car? I’ll be heading there in may and this looks like the car I’d like to hire. Thanks
Automax! Great guys!
I'm in Sarande, Albania and have a ocean view studio apartment for $300 a month. Less than half of anything I could find in Corfu...but it's not Corfu if you get my meaning. Corfu is beautiful indeed!
We were so so close to booking Albania over Corfu. In the end, we wanted the Greece vibe 🤗 - Anna
There are solutions to Internet speeds on Corfu. We live here and with one digital nomad working and one Netflix addict we have no problems.
Thanks... i'm sure if we lived there we'd pay for higher speeds. But let us tell you (as a tourist) it's terrible. Especially in the north 🤷🏻 - Trevor
Go check out Paxos and antipaxos which is just south of Corfu
Noted! 😀- Trevor
Home Now 💛
🤗
Did you go to the monastery in Paleo and take a boat ride into the caves?
No we didn't this time around - Anna
I would say you’re either going to Paros or Milos. Am I right?
Greece is a top destination but with the tension with turkey if im gonna visit ika do it in another time
There is no Tension with Turkey it's fabricated and on going for 40 years now, only once 26 years before there was some real tension..
Paros ❤
🤔
Hello....hows the temperture in grecce, we will take vacation on november, wonderfull Corfú...
Today it’s 20C! 🙂
Well early November its ok up to 24 C but late November gets pretty chilly..
Is Corfu affordable enough for a couple in retirement spending 2k to 2.5k per month?
Greece is beautiful...Corfu is beautiful....If u live there as a local and have to deal with public services etc then prepare your self for a different journey than the one u expirienced in your video.
Unfortunately Greece is only for tourism.
Hello its a Gyros pronounced geros , pitta nann with potato chips , chopped pork or chicken , tomao salsa, tzatiki, red onion ,also don't swim in the sea in sidari, the Greeks pump raw sewage on all the tourist beach's , you will get impetigo. Becareful at Cape drastic beach do not swim in the sea when it's windy, it has an under current that pulls you down, sun set beach becareful the mud cliffs fall all the time, go to salami snorgle with the fish. Corfu town is amazing . Arilis is a nudist beach really funny. Hope this helps
Paros, i think it is.
😉
I guess Naxos or Santorini!
You'll find out this Sunday on our LIVE 😀- Trevor
I am not sure how much you liked that gyros 😂
???
@@DelightfulTravellers usually when people are talking a lot about the food (especially when is ONLY a gyros), it is a sign that don’t want to eat it. Maybe is just my impression. 🍺
@@FollowSun you must not watch many food focussed videos! 😂.. it’s basically our job to talk about food.. and we do full videos where we eat and talk about it.
@@DelightfulTravellers actually made the observation by comparing with other videos from you. I know that you are talking about food. But, as I said, maybe I got the wrong impression.
Are you planning on moving to Crete?
You'll find out today on the LIVE STREAM Karin 😀
👍🙋👏🧿🙂
🤙
I wonder if Starlink might help with internet connection. I know people are using this portable machine to hook up to the internet. It works here in the States,it might work over in Greese. Look it up. It just might work for you.
Starlink would for sure but it's pricey and I don't believe geared for travellers just quite yet. I could be wrong though 😀 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers a couple of Van life people that I follow on UTube have the Starlink.
@@roseanneberrios7174 Yeah they do but we don't have a Van 😅 We only have carry-on luggage
Paros is my guess.
🤔
Doing a bit of research, Santorini and Crete have the fastest internet excluding the mainland. I would choose Crete and especially Chania. Remember that Corfu and all of the west Greece has a lot more rain per year than the rest of the country.. also living in Crete you don't get to spend money on heating for the winter
Good to know. We've been to Chania before and loved it - Anna
You two are headed to Santorini -cheers Shawn from Travel by Numbers
🤔 That is a beautiful island! - Anna
Headed to Santorini?
🤔
Probably Naxos!
🤔
I am guessing Crete😊
Crete is not in the Cyclades...so they are referring to Naxos, Paros, etc.
@@kevztunes thanks for that! We have been to Naxos, not too touristic and plenty big. Thanks again, most appreciated 🙏🏿
🤔
@@DelightfulTravellers what's the face for? Crete is not located in the Cyclades...
IF it were me, I would choose Paros, and also the Cyclades are much drier than Corfu during the off-season cooler period, so a much better place to be...in the NOV thru APR season....Corfu gets rather WET and quite miserable during the winter months....whereas, the Cyclades are the driest/brightest region of Greece...and that includes, both Rhodes and even southern Crete.
Most people always think head to Rhodes or Crete during the off season.
Well, yes, they are sometimes a couple of degrees C° warmer.....however, they actually get more than double the rain the Cyclades get...plus, they are often considerably more overcast, dull, etc...during the off season.
For example, Mykonos gets just 312mm of rain all year...whereas, say Chania or Rhodes Town get 600-700mm
Comment
Paros
🤔
IOS?
Maybe Leah 😜
Naxos …
I'm guessing Rhodes.
🤔
Symi??? 🤔 💭
Oh Symi... what place 🤔 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers I had to watch your Greece 🇬🇷 videos 📹 (again) from 2 years ago. And Symi is the place you guys loved the most (I think). So moving to Symi? Yes? Lol
Symi
🤔
Symi is gorgeous
@@DelightfulTravellers The new portable Starlink May be your answer for Internet.
I'd love to know how much money one makes of, say, 15,000 views, which seems to be an average for most of their videos. Even with one a week it can't be that much money, right? How do the people with 5,000-10,000 views survive? I do not get this digital creator stuff.
soon to be a turkish island.. it will be better this way close to mainland and the real owners.
Corfu is my least favourite Greek island too crowded and run down in places .
What's your favourite Greek Island?
@@DelightfulTravellers I have many , Ios, Naxos, Tinos, Skopelos , karpathos .
It's between Paros and Naxos and I'm going to guess it's Paros since you've said that it isn't a big island. Mind you, both are amazing so whichever it is you'll have a blast!
🤔 Luv both those islands!
