Holiday rentals in Kavos

Located on the southern tip of Corfu, the Greek village of Kavos is known for its pristine sandy beach and lively nightlife. During the day, the shoreline is dotted with umbrellas and sundecks, and everyone in town seems to be dipping their toes in the gentle turquoise waters. The beach is a magnet for water sports enthusiasts, with ample opportunities for parasailing, water skiing, canoeing, and jet skiing. Come night, Kavos flexes a different muscle as its main strip transforms into an epicenter of dining and dancing.

Inland, you have your run of green hills and rugged mountains crisscrossed with hiking and biking trails, from which the views of the coastline are stunning. For a quick day trip, there are several smaller, scenic islands that are easy to access, including the Sivota Islands and the Blue Lagoon.

Kavos experiences hot, sunny summers and mild, rainy winters. The summer weather provides the perfect temperatures to enjoy the island’s many water-based activities or to take a trip to the local water park, with its variety of water slides, pools, and hot tubs. The early spring and late autumn months are the best times to stay in a Kavos villa if you seek non-water-related activities such as hiking and bike riding. You might need to pack a light jacket as the sun sets and temperatures fall. While winter may see slightly cooler temperatures and more rainfall, it also brings Carnival. This weeklong celebration showcases the rich history of the island with parades, musical performances, and feasts, making it a unique and festive time to seek apartments to rent in Kavos.

Antipaxos Island

Just off the coast of Kavos lies the island of Antipaxos, one of the most beautiful places in Greece, with sandy beaches, olive groves, and vineyards. Antipaxos is pedestrian-friendly — you can walk from one end of the island to the other in under half an hour — and sparsely populated. Other than a few beachside taverns, it is void of businesses, shops, or entertainment, making it the perfect place to enjoy a quiet day on the beach.

Arkoudilas Beach

Commonly referred to as Secret Beach, Arkoudilas Beach is just a ten-minute drive from Kavos. Its soft golden sand and calm, crystal-clear waters are surrounded by high cliffs, making it a secluded destination with minimal visitors. It’s a good idea to bring your own food and drink, as there are no restaurants or taverns along the coastline.

Old Fortress of Corfu

Located in Corfu Town, this 15th-century fortress once served as protection for the island and now houses a public library, music school, and museum. The top of the fortress provides a unique view of the sea and the town.
