North of Corfu Town is a string of busy beach resorts, each one merging into the next. One of the liveliest is Ipsos , where most people go for the nightlife. This resort can get pretty wild at the height of the summer, and the beach for many is just a place to recuperate the next day.
In Ipsos you'll find just as many restaurants serving British grub as serving Greek food, and numerous British-style pubs amongst the clubs and cocktail bars. So don't expect a taste of the real Greece, but the local people are friendly to visitors and know how to give everyone a good time.
Ipsos and its neighbouring resort, Pyrgi, are situated on a wide, beautiful bay. Together they have been dubbed the Golden Mile. The long, narrow beach that curves round the bay is a mixture of sand and shingle and offers excellent water sports facilities.
There is plenty to see besides beaches and bars to keep you amused. Explore the villages and towns inland or sail round the coast to visit Corfu's highest spot, Mount Pantokrator. Even if you never leave the resort, you're sure of a good time in Ipsos |
