Kavos beach Corfu

KAVOS Corfu, is the place to head for if you are young and looking to get wrecked on 24hr clubbing. If you want noise and mayhem you'll think Kavos is great; if you are looking for a quiet Greek island holiday you will think yourself in a little corner of hell.
The Kavos bars and clubs are all very highly rated by those that seem to know their stuff. But note that some bars reputedly add meths to their free booze 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 24hrs and compete with the karaoke bars, not to say the screaming hordes of binge-happy youngsters.
Dirty beaches and sewer pipes make the Kavos sands very unattractive, to say nothing of piles of rotting seaweed and the odd used condom. Kavos resort itself has been likened to a giant-size 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.
