Corfu's 18-30s party strip at the far south tip — loud, cheap and unapologetic.
A 2km stretch of bars, neon and €2 shots at the very southern tip, 45 minutes from the airport. It is the Magaluf/Sunny Beach of Greece — fully closed November to April, packed solid June to September. If you want quiet authenticity, go literally anywhere else on the island.
