If you want to party, plan on going to the Pink Palace in Corfu. Visit www.thepinkpalace.com and click on the link for coupon and get 15% discount on mopeds, jet skis, water-skiing etc. They even exchange money for you at their hostel. Don’t worry about making a reservation for the Pink Palace because there is always availability.

This hostel is located on Agios Gordios Beach, which is the other side of Corfu from where the ferry drops you off. There is a Pink Palace bus that will meet you at the port and drive you for free to the Pink Place (but you have to pay a few dollars to get the bus back to the pier on your morning of departure).

As a tip, you can get mopeds on Corfu about 100 meters down the beach from the Pink Palace. They will be in better condition and cheaper.

If you spend more than one day on Corfu, then make sure to rent some scooters and see the whole island. I think that Thursday night is toga night – although every night is fun, this is a great thing.

The rates are very reasonable considering that they include breakfast as soon as you arrive (along with ouzo shots) and it includes dinner at night. (Of course they make much of their money from the excursions they offer and from selling alcohol in their on sight nightclub, but even those rates were reasonable.)

Review:
My experience at the Pink Palace was horrible. A girl was raped and identified three staff members as the perpetrators. One of my friends was drugged at the night club. We went to management to make a complaint and to prevent it from happening again, and we were called liars and kicked out of the hostel. Another friend was assaulted by a staff member in the ouzo circle and was later jumped by three staff members. Nothing was done by management in any of the above situations. As we were leaving, a female staff person was being physically assaulted by the owner and a manager in front of the reception office simply for asking for her passport so that she could leave. Please stay safe; steer clear of the Pink Palace.
