What to do in Kavos
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.
Find out what you can get up to besides poolside lazing, water sports and evenings on the strip…
Active types: It’s not all floating doughnuts and banana boats in Kavos; you can also have a go at stand-up paddle boarding, canoeing or wakeboarding.
Free and cheap: There are plenty of activities that can eat into your budget in Kavos (party boats, speedboat trips, water sports) but if you remember to pack a snorkel and mask or buy a cheap set locally, you can explore the underwater world for free. Expect to see tropical fish and maybe even a turtle or two.
Nightlife: There are, of course, plenty of options for an evening on the tiles in Kavos. Spend a little time getting organised before you go, however, and you can pick the cream of the DJ crop, snag tickets to the hottest club parties, and maybe even save a few pounds by booking in advance.
