It is a very lively resort with discos and bars. It tends to attract young people due to its reputation. Groups of friends and teenagers enjoy it here. Also the resort is starting to cater for families with teenage children. Many couples enjoy Ipsos as it is a resort with plenty of life, but the edges are the quieter parts, such as the harbour end and the village behind the main road.

The bars are something that Ipsos is not short of. Everything ranging from quieter cocktail bars and traditional Greek bars to the more lively music bars with wide screen TV playing the latest films and sports all day. One feature that some holidaymakers may enjoy is the numerous English bars.

The beaches are mixed shingle with patches of sand. Many use the beach to nurse hangovers from the night before. It is a big water sports resort and there are two large purpose built jetties that cater for this. One is at the far left side of the beach and the other is at the middle. Water skiing, ringo, banana rides and parasailing is available at both of these jetties. Boat rental is available at the harbour end of the beach.

There are many supermarkets in Ipsos itself and larger ones can be found just outside the town towards Corfu town. Food shopping tends to be slightly cheaper here than in the North East towns and villages further along.

A cash machine can be located in the centre of the line of shops and also there are many places to change travellers cheques and foreign currency throughout the resort.

There is a small play area in the village behind the main road, also there are childrens pools in some of the public pool bars. Just behind the main road there is a go-cart track. Many of the bars have pool tables and games machines.
