Renting a car is one of the best ways to explore Corfu, giving you the freedom to discover mountain villages, hidden beaches, viewpoints and places that public transport does not easily reach.But narrow village roads, limited lighting, steep routes and unfamiliar rental conditions can quickly create problems. Here are 10 mistakes worth avoiding before you start your Corfu road trip.
5Not Downloading an Offline Map of Corfu
Before starting your holiday, download the Corfu area in Google Maps for offline use.
Mobile coverage is generally good, but there are places around the island where the signal can become weaker, particularly in mountainous or more remote areas. Having an offline map means navigation can continue even if your mobile data connection disappears.
Offline maps also reduce your dependence on mobile data. However, remember that GPS navigation still uses battery power, so keeping a car charger or small power bank with you is a very good idea.
Before a longer trip, you can also check our Corfu Map and decide on your main route in advance.
