For those of us flying out from Manchester or Liverpool, Corfu has long been a favourite for a reliable dose of Mediterranean sunshine. Liapades, a jewel on the western coast of the island, offers a more authentic pace of life than some of the busier southern resorts, making it an ideal choice for travellers looking to escape the hustle and bustle without sacrificing the convenience of a modern package holiday.

Whether you are a couple seeking a quiet corner to watch the sunset or a family looking for clear waters and traditional surroundings, Liapades provides a quintessentially Greek backdrop. The town itself maintains a classic charm, with narrow streets and an atmosphere that invites you to slow down and enjoy the warm climate.

Where to Stay in Liapades

When selecting your base for a week or two on the island, finding a hotel that offers both comfort and easy access to the coast is essential. In Liapades, you can find quality accommodation that keeps you close to the Aegean-blue waters:

• Blue Princess Beach Hotel & Suites: Located directly in Liapades, this 4-star beachfront hotel offers stunning views of the Ionian Sea, making it a perfect spot for those who want to wake up to the sound of the waves.

Getting There and When to Visit

Getting to your slice of paradise is straightforward. Flights from major UK airports like Manchester or Liverpool to Corfu are frequent during the summer season, typically running from May through to October. Once you land at Corfu Airport, your transfer to Liapades is usually a manageable drive through the lush, olive-clad hills that define this part of the island.

If you prefer the peak heat, July and August are your best bets for long, sun-drenched days. For those who prefer a slightly cooler climate for exploring or walking, the shoulder months of May, June, and September offer glorious sunshine with more manageable temperatures for venturing out.

Beaches and Coastal Appeal

The coastline around Liapades is one of its primary draws. The beaches here are celebrated for their clarity and the dramatic cliffs that often frame the shoreline, providing a natural barrier from the busier parts of the island. Many of the local beaches are ideal for swimming, snorkelling, or simply relaxing on a sun lounger with a good book.

Because the area is tucked away, it tends to retain a quieter feel than the larger, more commercialised resorts. It is the perfect place to enjoy a day of water-based activities or to find a secluded spot to appreciate the natural beauty of the Ionian coastline.

Food and Local Life

A holiday in Liapades is not complete without sampling the local food. Corfu is known for its unique blend of Greek and Mediterranean influences. You will find that most dining experiences in the town revolve around fresh, local ingredients. Strolling through the town, you are likely to find family-run tavernas where the hospitality is warm and the pace is unhurried.

Spend your evenings enjoying fresh seafood or classic Greek dishes in the centre of the village. It is a wonderful way to connect with the local culture and experience the genuine warmth of the Corfu residents.

Liapades is a fantastic option for travellers who value scenery and relaxation over high-energy nightlife. It is particularly well-suited to couples looking for a romantic retreat and families who appreciate a safe, welcoming environment.
