This post is dedicated to Corfu "The Emerald Isle" or better known as "The Greek Ibiza."
Kavos is the ideal place for the single girl, because it is full with sexy boys all looking for the same thing as we are and not wearing much! Everyone knows that anything goes when you’re on holiday, but as we are apparently the “weaker” sex, there’s some things we need to look out for that boys don’t have to worry half so much about.
RULE ONE: KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR DRINK
This applies anywhere, and you must also make sure you keep an eye on whoever is buying it for you. What tends to happen in Kavos is that you’ll form a big clan of about 20-30 of you after the first couple of days. Usually people form their groups after the booze cruise because that’s an all day drinking, swimming and sunbathing fest. The sad thing is, there’s always going to be at least one arsehole who you can’t trust.
The most important thing is to make sure you watch your back and look after your mates. Unfortunately it is extremely difficult to keep your head screwed on when you’re drinking so much that you have no time to sober up in between sessions. Just remember not to put yourself in a position where you have to rely on anyone other than yourself.
Alright, on a lighter note, here are some things to consider:
Most clubs don’t care what you wear, so its wise to invest in some comfy trainers or some heels that aren’t too high.
A lot of the apartment complexes have little or no security. For example, last year we stayed at Batarolla which is right out past the Ekati complex and Marina and Alexandra apartments. We were in the middle of the trees, about twenty minutes walk from the centre of Kavos with no phone, no reception and obviously no safety deposit box. There was an outside staircase with no lighting which led to our door. The door was so flimsy that when I got locked out and was banging hard on it to wake my mates up, the lock gave way. We ended up having to stay with some other girls that we met. If you are genuinely concerned about the security where you are staying, contact your rep, ours got us a new lock and a light for the stairs.
You can either be a player or you can find a nice one and stay with him. I met a guy in the departure lounge at Gatwick and apart from one wild night, I stayed with him until the end. However, he lives 200 miles away so after a couple of weeks of texting and email, we decided it wasn’t worth it. So basically, don’t get too loved up and don’t expect anything from anyone.
Remember to stick by your mates, some of the worst fall outs between friends happen on holiday when everyone is hot, drunk and probably spending too much time together, so keep it cool.
Take a lot of sun cream with you because it’s ridiculously hot in July and August. Last year Corfu caught part of the heatwave from South Africa and it was 45F 122C for about a week. Even the locals were moaning about the heat. Be especially careful on the booze cruise.
Be careful not to walk about on your own, i.e. don’t go exploring without your mates and a jeep because just north of Kavos, it quickly turns into complete wilderness for miles.
Also, don’t leave yourself at the mercy of cab drivers!
