Corfu is an excellent island for a slower holiday, but not every resort offers the same experience. Some are lively and busy, while others are much better suited to long beach days, good tavernas, easy walks and quiet evenings by the sea. If you are looking for the best resorts in Corfu for over-50s, the choice often comes down to what kind of beach you prefer, how much walking you want to do, whether you need practical services nearby, and how lively you want your evenings to be. Here are 10 Corfu resorts worth considering for a relaxed adult holiday.
6Paleokastritsa – Best for Spectacular Scenery & Boat Trips
Best for: scenery, swimming, boat trips, couples and visitors who enjoy exploring several small beaches.
Paleokastritsa is one of Corfu’s most famous coastal areas, surrounded by steep green hills, rocky headlands and a series of beautiful bays.
It is an excellent choice if scenery is high on your list. You can swim, take a small boat along the coast or visit nearby viewpoints and the monastery above the main bay.
What should older travellers consider?
Paleokastritsa is not completely flat. The resort is spread along the road and some accommodation is located well above sea level.
It also attracts many day visitors during peak summer, so July and especially August can feel very busy during the daytime.
Local tip: If you want to walk to the beach every day, check exactly which bay your accommodation is closest to and whether the return walk is uphill.
