Check the arrival airport carefully because it shapes your first transfer and the place where you begin your stay. Corfu Airport serves the island, and your accommodation area determines the onward journey from the terminal. A town or village base can make a straightforward arrival day easier to organise.
Your first day can stay deliberately light after travelling from Birmingham. Settle into the accommodation, collect any essentials and take a short walk near your base before choosing a fuller activity. HolidayWow can place the airport transfer, first stay and daily routes on one map, giving you a clear view of what happens next.
Driving is useful for reaching villages and coastal areas beyond the main resort strips, while walking works well in compact town centres. Compare transport options for your party and route before departure. The map plan can include a relaxed pace, a balanced daily schedule or a packed programme for active holidays.

Choosing a base for beaches and villages
Benitses and Paleokastritsa suit travellers who want a mixture of coastal scenery, walks and village atmosphere. Paleokastritsa is particularly useful for pairing beach time with excursions into the island's interior. A northern base also works well for reaching the Paleokastritsa area and the island's northern coast.

It is useful when you want easy access to Corfu Town, local dining and transport across the island. Couples can use the quieter evenings for a waterfront meal, while families can return to a familiar base between outings.
The Old Town and Liston area suit travellers interested in architecture, cafés and walkable streets near Corfu Town. Stay nearby if you want an active first few days with easy access to the main urban sights. For a broader island holiday, add villages and beaches to the route and use one main base for most nights.
Old TowniPhoto: Tadeáš Gregor · CC BY-SA 4.0 · Wikimedia CommonsA seven day island plan
Start with a light arrival day and use the first full day for Corfu Town. Walk around the Old Town, the Liston and the waterfront, then build in time for cafés or an evening meal close to your accommodation. This creates a comfortable introduction and gives you a reference point for the rest of the holiday.
Dedicate another day to Paleokastritsa, combining a beach morning with a walk above the coast. Use a balanced pace for the remaining days, with routes to nearby villages, coastal viewpoints and quieter bays. Add a day trip across to mainland Greece if your dates and flight arrangements make it a good fit.
Keep the final day flexible for the beach, a revisit to a favourite café or a walk near your stay. HolidayWow lets you drag stops between days, swap places and lighten the schedule after each change. The plan checker reorders the day while keeping the route practical for your selected travel pace.

Share the route with your travelling party through one link, with roles for viewing, editing, comments and votes. This makes it easier to settle the base, compare activity ideas and agree on a pace. A group can keep its selected days, stops and booking references in the same plan.
