Kavos Corfu

holiday beach report and map

Kavos beach Corfu

KAVOS Corfu, is the place to head for if you are young, single and looking to get wrecked on 24-hour boozing and clubbing.
If you want noise and mayhem you'll think Kavos is great; if you are looking for a quiet Greek island beach holiday you may think yourself in a little corner of hell.
Kavos bars and clubs are all highly rated by those that seem to know but note that some bars reputedly add meths to their free shots to boost the potency - so expect to throw up.
Most Kavos bars also show the latest pirated movies and touts pester tourists constantly to join the foam parties or lap it up in the lap dancing clubs while Balkan gypsies try to sell you cowboy hats and tin whistles.
All the Kavos music bars belt out throbbing music 24 hours-a-day and compete with the karaoke bars, not to say the screaming hordes of booze-wrecked youngsters.
Dirty beaches and sewer pipes make the Kavos sands unattractive, to say nothing of rotting seaweed and the odd used condom. Kavos has been likened to a giant dustbin.
Visitors should be warned that Kavos is no family resort. Some tour companies play down the nightlife and describe the resort as 'lively'. Lively in Kavos means boorish 18-30 behaviour predominates, with boozed-up boys tearing about on noisy quad bikes along the main roads into Kavos where there are no pavements and very little street lighting.
Wasps and mosquitos are another big problem all year round in Kavos. The toilets have been described as the worst in Europe. Visitors also report that it is best to buy your condoms in daylight as the price doubles at night - says it all really.
Buses are relatively cheap and reliable if you want to get out of Kavos. If you are over 25 and sober you almost certainly will.
