Naok Azur is a prestigious all-day beach club set in Corfu's charismatic old town, overlooking beautiful Naok Beach and the historic Corfu Sailing Club. Swing by at lunchtime for the very best ‘wellness cuisine’ the city has to offer, including mango-glazed sea bass and homemade chia pudding.

After dark, Naok Azur transforms into a multi-level nightclub with 2 of the islands hottest DJ’s spinning eclectic house and ethnic beats on both the upstairs and downstairs floors. Reserve a VIP table and order rounds of ritzy cocktails from the impeccable crew of waitstaff. We love the Mango Colada, Savage Garden and the Suit and Tie with absinthe drops.

Boasting spectacular views of Corfu’s ancient fortress, Cavalieri Roof Garden is the place to go when you want to enjoy upscale Mediterranean cuisine on a spacious sun-kissed terrace.  It teeters above the sea and the glamorous marina. To start, order entrees like fried saganaki and prosciutto-wrapped melon, before moving onto mains like the basil-baked shrimp.

The terrace is illuminated with old-fashioned lamps and romantic votive candles that cast a golden glow across the tables. Reservations are accepted for dinner only, so book ahead to avoid disappointment as it’s one of the most popular eateries in all of Corfu.

At Maria’s Karaoke Pub in Kavos, you’re always welcome as you are and guaranteed to have a great time. Maria herself will be at the entrance greeting you with a smile and making sure you feel right at home. Every night, the atmosphere is buzzing and here age is just a number.

After you’ve sung your heart out, dig into a mouthwatering pizza or enjoy the best of the local cuisine, all freshly made from homegrown vegetables and reasonably priced. Try Maria’s fantastic cocktails and cool beers and you’ll be ready for another solo or a duet in no time.

Situated down an atmospheric cobbled alley in the old quarter of Corfu Town, Arthaus Café Wine Bar instantly captivates with its moss-green walls covered in paintings.It boasts an impressive menu of Hellenic wines. Come here in the evening for its intimate brand of ambience and tasty Greek meze. Try the salty baked feta and the kofte with rice.

If you’re having a sober night, do not fear, as Arthaus Café caters to teetotallers with its non-alcoholic fruity mojitos, effervescent sodas and aromatic premium coffees. Meanwhile, oenophiles can chat to the sommelier who’ll recommend wines indigenous to Greece, like Piccolo Mondo Red and crisp Corfiot white.

La Grotta Bar has been entertaining punters since the late 1960s when a clever hotelier decided to build an al fresco entertaining space into a craggy cave above the bay. Ever since, this hip hideout on Paleokastritsa’s picturesque coast has been serving classic cocktails on its umbrella-strewn terrace, which offers mesmerising views of the azure Ionian Sea. 

On the hottest days of the year, order Watermelon Coolers and Pina Coladas or indulge in the La Grotta Special, a trio of ice cream scoops drizzled with syrup and served with sweet Grecian biscuits. If you fancy a swim, you can plunge into the sea off the bar’s springy diving board or leap into the lagoon from its towering cliffs.

Teetering on an enormous clay cliff on Corfu’s northwest coast, 7th Heaven dazzles visitors with its glamorous glass-walled terrace, crystal-bottomed viewing platform, panoramic ocean vista and bohemian outdoor swings. Come here for the sunset but stay for dinner and cocktails. You can even ascend to the beach below to enjoy a twilight swim.

For refreshments, order sweet peach daquiris and lime margaritas or stick to non-alcoholic classics like Corfu ginger ale and pink grapefruit soda. When it comes to the food, nothing beats the fish of the day with olive oil and lemon dressing or the Greek mussels in wine, infused with garlic and parsley.
