Kavos Holidays

Kavos is one of Corfu’s best-known holiday resorts, set on the island’s far southern tip. It has a lively, youthful feel and is particularly popular with UK travellers looking for a beach break with plenty going on after dark. The resort is compact and easy to get around, with most hotels, bars, restaurants and shops clustered around the main strip and the beachfront.

The beach is a big part of the appeal. Kavos has a long stretch of sand and shingle with shallow water in places, making it easy to spend relaxed days by the sea. You will usually find sunbeds, beach bars and water-based activities in the busier parts of the resort, while quieter sections are better for a simple swim or stroll. Boat trips are also popular, including excursions along the southern coast and towards nearby islands and coves.

By day, Kavos is relaxed and informal. Visitors tend to split their time between the beach, poolside bars and casual places to eat. Restaurants are geared towards holidaymakers, so you can expect a mix of Greek tavernas, grills, pizza, pasta, fast food and British-style options. For a more traditional Corfiot meal, it is worth trying local dishes such as sofrito, pastitsada or fresh seafood where available.

Nightlife is the resort’s main draw. Kavos is known for its late bars, clubs, karaoke spots and party atmosphere, especially in the summer season. Evenings usually start with drinks on the strip before moving on to clubs and music bars that stay busy into the early hours. It is not the best choice for travellers wanting a quiet, traditional Greek village feel, but it suits groups and couples who want a sociable holiday.

If you want a break from the resort, local trips can add variety. Corfu Town is a rewarding day out for its old streets, Venetian-style architecture and waterfront cafés, though it is some distance from Kavos. Closer to the south, you can explore quieter villages, coastal viewpoints and boat trips around the shoreline. Overall, Kavos is best for travellers who want sunshine, an easy beach setting and lively nights in one of Corfu’s most energetic resorts.
