Kavos holidays

For days under the glow of the sun and nights under the glare of neon lights, Kavos holidays are the dream ticket...

Once a sleepy seaside village on the southern tip of beautiful Corfu, Kavos has become a hedonistic, holiday hotspot for party-loving Brits.

Cheap Kavos holidays are the natural stomping ground of young partygoers. So this is not the place for couples looking for relaxed romance, or families hoping for a chilled out holiday by the sea. Corfu has plenty of resorts for holidaymakers of all persuasions, but a Kavos holiday is about sun, sea, sand, dancing and drinking.

And what spectacular sun, sea and sand visitors can expect. Golden sands stretch along the front of Kavos town and shallow blue seas are certain to take the heat off those sultry summer days. Water sports are available all along this glorious strip of sand, so if you’ve never had a go at banana boating or jet-skiing before, now is your chance.

Hotels in Kavos are mostly low-rise apartment blocks, many of which have pleasant gardens and a lively pool scene. There are also plenty of basic self-catering apartments and studios for those on a budget.

The tourism season gets going in May and winds down in October, so there’s plenty of time to bag a cheap Kavos holiday.

Kavos doesn’t really do annual events (there’s enough going on each night) so find out what’s happening elsewhere in Corfu…

Easter; March/April: If you visit in the off-season, travel to Corfu Town to see parades and processions around Eastertime. The event offers a fresh look at life and religion in Greece.

Super Paint Party; Saturdays and Sundays between June and September:One of the highlights of the Kavos weekly calendar, prepare to be splattered with UV paint and glow all night long.

Varkarola Festival; August: You’ll have to hire a car or take a bus to journey to Paleokastritsa for this event, which celebrates Saint Spyridon. He supposedly saved the island from Turkish invasion about 300 years ago. Each year, a mock fight, a parade of boats and a show of fireworks entertain the crowds.
