Welcome to Kavos and have a nice holiday

Kavos is a village in the region of Lefkimi, in southern Corfu, where tourism has been developed during the last twenty years. Today it constitutes one of the most popular destinations for young people, between 18 and 30, since it offers sea, sun and amazing nightlife. In the past, most visitors of Kavos came from the U.K., but today Kavos attracts visitors from all over Europe. Kavos is located 43 Km south of Corfu town, being the last village of the southern group. Along with Kavos, the whole Lefkimi region, in which it belongs, has been developed. Therefore, in this guide, when we refer to Kavos, we refer to the entire region of Lefkimi, which constitutes the lower part of Corfu.

How is the nightlife of Kavos?

We don’t need to say much; Kavos has it all! The party begins early in the afternoon and lasts up to sunrise or even later in the morning. And it is something that very probably you have never seen before. There are lots of bars, all flooded with people, the streets are full with people dancing (cars just can’t pass during these hours) and the music is heard throughout the entire region! As night progresses everyone moves to the clubs, where famous DJs keep the party alive until the morning light. And then, everyone moves again to the “after-clubs”!

For those who don’t want to follow this frantic rhythm and prefer something more romantic and relaxed, there are beach bars with chill out music, where they can enjoy their drink up to sunrise.

Kavos is located on a fascinating 2 km beach with golden sand, ideal forsmall kids and families, since the waters are safe and shallow. There you can enjoy all kinds of water sports: water skis, bananas, jet skis, parachutes, diving, canoes, and water bicycles.

For the athletic types, apart from water sports, there also exist other athletic activities like Go Karts, 5x5 football grounds, tennis and volley courts and for the riskiest bungee jumping and catapult.

Finally for those who want to enjoy the nature, it is worth visiting the country church of Virgin Mary on the green Arkouthilla hill, over the southern cape of the island, Asprokavos (meaning “white cape”). The area is ideal for walking and there is a riding center for unforgettable rides.
