What makes Kavos special as a destination?
Kavos is the party hotspot of Corfu and one of the most well-known party destinations for young travelers throughout the Mediterranean. Located at the southern tip of the island, this small village transforms every summer into a vibrant party mile, attracting mainly British and Northern European partygoers with its clubs, bars, and beach parties. If you find Ibiza too expensive and are looking for the Greek equivalent, Kavos is the perfect place. The main street of Kavos is the epicenter of nightlife. Dozens of bars and clubs line up, many of them with open-air areas, pool parties, and international DJs. The nights start late and only end at sunrise, with drink prices significantly lower than in Western Europe. Foam parties, paintball events, and organized boat trips with a party atmosphere round out the offerings. But Kavos has more to offer than just parties. The beach stretches for almost two kilometers with golden sand and crystal-clear water. During the day, it is a relaxed bathing spot with sun loungers, water sports, and beach volleyball courts. Those looking to escape the hustle and bustle can find Arkoudilas Beach to the south of Kavos, a pristine stretch with cliffs and wild vegetation, accessible via a hiking trail through olive groves. Cape Asprokavos, the southern tip of Corfu, offers a dramatic cliff landscape overlooking the open Ionian Sea and the Greek mainland coast. A boat trip to the nearby caves and the offshore island of Sivota is a worthwhile contrast to the party hustle. Kavos is about 45 kilometers south of Corfu Town and can be reached by bus in about an hour. Corfu Airport has direct flights from Germany.
