Travelling solo is a great way not just to discover a new destination – but to discover new things about yourself as well. While there are plenty of places around the world great for solo travellers, Corfu is a perfect destination for those looking to explore more of Greece alone. If you’re thinking of travelling solo in Corfu, here are 3 reasons why it might just be the best idea you’ve ever had.
As we’ve already mentioned, Corfu is a hotspot for solo travellers. The hostels are full to the brim with people looking to explore this destination alone, as well as meet new people to do it with. As well as in hostels, Corfu is known for its fabulous Greek festivals, nightclubs, wine tasting, and other tourist tours; all more places where you can meet new people and get involved in the culture as a solo traveller.
A great way to spend your time in Corfu is hiking. There are many beautiful views to be explored and hiking trails to enjoy in Corfu, particularly the donkey trail from Paleostriata to Lakones, or the donkey trail from Makrades to Agios Georgios. May and October are great months for keen hikers in Corfu, with solo travellers getting the best pick of accommodation options and enjoying mild weather.
As well as being the greenest island in Greece – and part of the UNESCO world heritage sites – there are plenty of other interesting things to do in Corfu to really explore the culture. Don’t miss the Old Fortress in Corfu Town that was built by the Venetians in the early 15th century, or the Paleokastritsa area known for its influx of mountains and rocks. For a proper in-depth exploration of the island, consider joining up with some other solo travellers and renting a car, that way you definitely won’t miss anything this incredible destination has to offer!
Aside from being environmentally conscious and super friendly, Corfu is also visited by many travellers around the world – making it an ideal spot to meet people and make friends while you’re away alone. Corfu is generally also considered a safe destination, especially when you organise a Corfu airport transfer to take you directly from the airport straight to your first destination on the island.
It takes a special type of person to travel alone, but once you get started you’ll soon have the travel bug – and won’t be able to stop! If you’re looking to jump on the solo travelling bandwagon, don’t miss out on Corfu as your first solo travel destination. There’s not much not to love about this Greek island…
