Easter activities on Corfu

Beer tasting at breweries, pot smashing and lamb barbecues on the beech – It’s Easter on Corfu! Okay so we’ve not even got Christmas out of the way yet so it’s way too early to start thinking about Easter.

That said, with time going as fast as it does these days and with Easter next year falling fairly early, Christmas will some come and go and we’ll be left deliberating where we want to spend Easter.

With the weather warming up nicely and with hefty high-season tourist prices yet to kick in, Easter can be a great time to book a plane ticket and head to sunnier climes. In fact when it comes to enjoying a memorable and different Easter, Greece can be a great choice of destination.

The island of Corfu is one of Greece’s most popular islands and if you have had the pleasure of visiting Corfu you will understand why. With a deliciously warm year-round climate, friendly locals, mouth-watering cuisine, mountains clad with pine trees and a coastline that you could spend your entire life exploring and never tire of it, it is not difficult to see why Corfu attracts thousands of tourists each year, many of whom come back time and time again.

Easter time is a particularly great time to experience Corfu. What has been dubbed as being ‘one of the most famous Easter celebrations throughout the whole of Greece’, Corfu is renowned for its epic parades, traditions and celebrations at Easter time.

From the ancient and boisterous tradition of pot smashing in Corfu Town to enjoying a delicious and traditional lamb dinner on the spit at a lunchtime barbecue on the beach, from witnessing the pulsating Avliotes Parade on Easter Sunday to going on a tour and tasting event at the Corfu Beer Micro Brewery and attending a evening church ceremony followed by fireworks, Easter on Corfu offers a memorable holiday for all the family.
