A Kavos holiday will take you to the south east of Corfu and to one of Greece's most popular partying destinations. The town is very much geared towards the young, British demographics, with a countless number of shops selling the more forgettable holiday supplies such as lilos and coffee cups, as well as novelties and souvenirs. Plus, there are all-day English breakfast and burger restaurants to satisfy one's stomach any time of the day. By night, the town is a clubbing haven, jammed with bars and discos that thrive with people dancing and music pumping until dawn. Those with music tastes less akin to the standard RnB and house music are also well catered for, with several bars and clubs playing rock, soul, funk and everything in between. Those not looking to party shouldn't feel too alienated by Kavos, as there is plenty to appreciate in the way of scenery and sea life. However, it is safe to say that those who are coming to party will be the ones that feel most well looked after.

Currency

Greece's monetary unit is the Euro. No other currency is accepted and it is best to exchange dollars or other currency at a bank. The exchange rates are all the same throughout the country and you exchange money at a bank or official exchange shop where you will get the best running rates. Banks are open from 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM. At the new airport near the luggage pickup you can find machines that can exchange foreign currency and return Euro.
