We stay in the Sirocco Hotel, just at the end of the strip in Kavos, Corfu. The hotel does not accept Stag, Hen or student parties, so it is relatively quiet. We had a ground floor room with a small terrace opening onto the pool and overlooking the sea. There was a buffet breakfast each morning, which we thought was adequate. The beds were comfortable but I found the pillows a bit thick and uncomfortable so i did not use them at night. The staff were excellent, particularly Jenny who welcomed us on the evening of our arrival. She works the evening shift but also had a great, warm welcome when we arrived back each day. I would certainly recommend this hotel for its location, ambiance and friendliness. The hotel is small and only accommodates a small number of guests. Breakfast is served in a covered area beside the swimming pool, so guest tend to chat with each other which also added to the ambiance of the place.
The less said about the Kavos strip the better, it caters for the 18-30 age group, The pavements and road are littered with nitrous oxide pellets and spent balloons, they are openly sold in the shops, obviously alcohol is everywhere.
One note of caution for swimmers, there were a lot of purple jellyfish, purple stingers (Pellagia noctiluca) in the sea close to shore, they deliver an extremely venomous and painful sting, which I found out to my cost. If you see them avoid and get children out of the water
Personally, I have no wish ever to see or visit Kavos again but if I were to do so, I would choose to stay in The Sirocco Hotel again.
