Me and my bf are going to St Georges South, Corfu, for one week and we're staying in a self-catering apartment. We would like to eat out most nights and go on one or two excusrions. How much money should we be prepared to spend? Cheers x

I think spending money is different with each individual. But i was in Corfu last year, an evening meal cost about £6or7,drinks were £2 pint......overall £370 per person will give you a good time.

Yourself - as little as you can get away with, Your bf - lots! If you have the apartment already paid for you will find Corfu reasonably inexpensive. A good evening meal should be around €15-20 per head. Supermarkets cheap but maybe a few cents more than UK for known brands. Jewellery can be good value as the basic standard is 14 carat gold, Worth shopping around a bit and some negotiation is possible. Plastic generally accepted for major purchases. Cash points easy to find and visa common. Souvenirs can be a bit pricey especially if "Tourist Tat". Excursions from travel rep can be expensive, up to £50 per head,( that's where they get their beer money!) but there should be local operators for many destinations. If you get the chance do go to Corfu Town and have a coffee on the Liston. Beer tends to be lager, wines acceptable but watch out for the retsina and Ouzo!. Down that end of the island you will almost certainly find something like the "Rovers Return" selling egg & chips. Yamas! Have a great holiday. We've enjoyed Corfu for the last 14 years

it's not very expensive, public transport costs about 2 Euros for short trips, and about 5 euros to long trips. it depends where you are staying, if you're staying in a popular resort it might be a little bit more expensive, but on the whole it's not that much! Make sure to dine at least once @ "Kritikos" it's situated in perama, near corfu town, the locals know about it. Haveeee a nicee journeyy!

If you're Greek act Greek. Greek merchants are notorious for charging more to non-greeks. The euro is very strong now so, bring more money than what you would normally take on vacation-especially if you're going to be eating out every night.
