Your guide to Kavos holidays

Time to explore

Top attractions

When visitors aren’t sleeping in after long nights out partying, there’s plenty to entertain during the day in Kavos.

Hike through strawberry and cypress trees to seek out history at the Arkoudilas Monastery. Built in the 18th century, the ruined church sits along a gravel path south of Kavos and has views out to the island of Paxos.
There’s no better place to cool off than at Aqualand, a water park just a 60-minute drive from Kavos town. Slide, swimming pools and rapids make this a great day out.
Take a glass-bottomed boat tour to see what lies beneath the surface of the ocean. You might spot dolphins, lobster and even an octopus.
Boats leave from port just north of Kavos for island-hopping excursions around some of Greece’s best isles. Visit unspoiled Paxos and Antipaxos, and eat fresh fish aboard the boat.
Corfu sits just a few miles across the ocean from Albania, a fascinating country with Roman ruins and quiet, beautiful beaches. Take a day trip from Kavos to experience a new culture.

Adventure in Kavos

If wild nights aren’t enough for you, seek out some more thrills on these adventure activities in and around Kavos.

Get behind the wheel at Corfu’s go karting track, where you can race your friends and fellow travellers on an open-air, twisting tarmac road.
There is ample opportunity for fun with watersports on Kavos’ main beach. From jet skis to doughnut rings and banana boats, you’ll find an adrenaline hit in no time.
For serious thrills, try bungee jumping or bungee catapulting, in which you’ll be thrust into the air on a huge elasticated rope and left to spin in your seat as it bounces up and down.
Hop over to the Greek mainland for an excursion on the Acheron River. White-water rapids make this a truly enthralling way to spend a day.
If you’ve always dreamed of learning to fly, paragliding in Kavos might be the activity for you. Book a tandem flight with an expert instructor and soar high above Corfu as you ride thermal air pockets.

Food & Drink

Eating out

With such an international crowd, there’s cuisine to suit all palates in Kavos.

Thanks to its popularity with British travellers, Kavos has a number of British pubs and bars, offering an opportunity to try classic dishes like roast dinners or English breakfasts.
In the centre of town, you can find international cuisine from Chinese food to pizza to steak.
A handful of international chains dot the main strip, including brands like Subway – ideal for a post-party snack.
Kavos’ beach bars offer some of the most potent cocktails on the island. Try Malibu slushies or take on the Dentist Chair challenge, which involves drinking beers through a funnel.
Beer lovers will want to seek out the island’s microbrewery, Corfu Beer in Arillas. It’s a two-hour drive from the town, but worth it for their refreshing IPAs.

Local dishes to try in Kavos

Beyond the British fare and fast food, you can try some of Greece’s best traditional dishes in tavernas in and around Kavos.

The favourite Greek dish in Kavos is gyros – succulent meat, usually chicken or pork, cooked on a rotisserie, sliced into a pita bread and served with salad and fries.
A traditional Corfu dish is sofrito, a beef or veal-based dish with garlic, white wine vinegar, garlic and parsley, served over potatoes or rice.
Traditional Sunday dinner in Corfu involves a hearty pastitsada. The pasta dish features braised meat and a spicy tomato sauce.
Fish lovers will love the island’s favourite seafood dish: bourdeto. Freshly caught fish is cooked in a tomato sauce with onion, garlic and spicy peppers.
For a sweet start to the day, try Greece’s version of pastafrola (also called pasta flora). It’s a shortcrust pastry pie with a lattice top, filled with strawberry jam
