Luggage storage Corfu

Store Your Luggage Around Corfu With Bounce

Although Corfu is a city and the capital of the Greek island of the same name, it's usually referred to as Corfu Town or Kerkira. That's a name that perfectly sums up the warm, friendly atmosphere and the buzz this sunny Mediterranean location has. While ancient influences leftover from the days of the Venetian occupation are apparent in the architecture of Corfu, it is these days as Greek as it gets with very little international presence, apart from tourists, present.

In Corfu, you'll have a truly authentic taste of what Greek culture is all about. Delve into its fascinating past by exploring temple ruins and the enormous Venetian fortress before heading to the museums where there are countless thought-provoking collections. Wander through its labyrinth of cobbled streets lined with archaic shops where you'll see everything from sandals to soap on display. You might think it wouldn’t be hard to walk past the tavernas in Corfu Town, but wait until you get a whiff of the aromatic food cooking and you'll be stopped dead in your tracks.

Three words that describe Corfu Town are hot, hustle and bustle. It's not the place to be manhandling baggage. Leave your bags at a Bounce luggage storage facility in Corfu Town and you'll be able to enjoy the atmosphere of this amazing city without getting into a lather.

Corfu City Guide

Top Things To Do

The top things to do in Corfu Town you can do in four easy phases. Start with sightseeing and museum visits, follow that with a long lunch while the stores are closed for siesta time, then go shopping and end the day with a long dinner eaten on the terrace of a taverna. Forget rushing in Corfu, you'll be on Greek time and it's a tad slower than the rest of the world.

Museums

Greece has one of the most complex histories of anywhere on earth and Corfu's past is as multifaceted as the rest of the country. You can learn about some of it in the town's museums and by exploring the many archeological sites there and around the island.

• The Archeological Museum of Corfu: The Archeological Museum of Corfu contains the majority of artifacts that have been found during archeological excavations on the island. In this museum, ancient myths take on new meaning as you view stone gorgon heads, sculptures from the 7th century BC, gold paneled chest armor, and intricate jewelry.
• Banknote Museum: While it's not a great deal of use to anyone anymore, the money in the Banknotes Museum makes interesting viewing. You won't find just drachma in the collections of this museum belonging to Alpha Bank, but notes from all around the world. The museum aims to relate the history and importance of paper money so there's no loose change to be had anywhere.
• Municipal Gallery of Corfu: The Municipal Gallery of Corfu is one of the best art galleries in Corfu, but doesn't display ancient art. The paintings and sculptures at this museum are mostly from the 19th century and are collections of works by artists local to Corfu. There are occasional temporary exhibitions held here as well as workshops and lectures on Greek art.

Shopping

To really get to grips with shopping in Corfu you need to move away from the areas where there are nothing more than souvenir shops selling prayer beads and mati which is basically close to the cruise ship harbor. Head to the maze of backstreets or stay on the town's main street where the larger stores are and you'll be surprised by the quality and variety of what you find.

• Spianada Square: Spianada Square is the heart of Corfu Town, and radiating from the square there are many small streets lined with great shops. Wander around window shopping and you'll see shopfronts stacked to the hilt with iconography, more religious items, clothes, footwear, homeware, and traditional sweets and pastries. Think boutique shopping rather than a mall, and you’ll find each shop has its own individual character that will draw you in like a magnet.
• Anadiotis Greek Olive Oil Shop: If you think olive oil is olive oil, you need to think again. The oil produced from every grove has a distinct flavor and it takes a well-trained discerning palate, just like a sommelier, to be able to recognize the best or be able to blend various oils for the maximum taste. You'll find such experts at the fifty-year-old family-run Anadiotis Greek Olive Oil Shop.
• Olive Wood Workshop by Tom: Olive wood is almost as revered as gold in Greece. It's a very special natural material that can be turned into some amazing and very useful things. Getting something made from olive wood as a souvenir is like taking part of Greece home with you. Everything you'll see in Tom's workshop has been crafted by him. The shelves there are stacked with wooden spoons, bowls of all sizes, ornamental art pieces, picture frames, olive wood jewelry, and much much more.

Dining

Eating a meal out in Corfu whether it's at lunchtime or at night is never going to be a hurried affair. If you are in a rush for any reason like wanting to catch the last bus back to where you're staying, don't take a table in a taverna, but grab a gyro instead. When you do have enough time on your hands, don't miss trying one of these top three restaurants in Corfu and get to all of them if you possibly can.

• Aegli: There are two bonuses to eating at the Aegli restaurant in Corfu Town. One, the food is excellent and two, their terrace is right on the square, so perfect for people watching. At Aegli you'll get typical Greek dishes served how they've always been served. No fuss, no fancy faff, just absolutely fantastic flavors. 
• Elia: One of the great pleasures of dining in Corfu is being able to dine outside day and night. At Elia, you can sit at a table under the trees and listen to the cicadas chirp while chomping your way through any number of well-cooked traditional dishes. Don't miss trying the moussaka or the beef stifado, they're sensational washed down with a glass of the local retsina.
• Mouragia: When your vacation budget is suffering a cash flow problem, head to the Mouragia taverna and you'll be able to eat their daily menu for a price comparable to the bus fare from Corfu Town to Kavos. Their food is exactly the same quality as anywhere else and they're generous with portion size too. And it has a sea view, too.
