Where could I get away with free camping on Corfu?

Where could I get away with free camping on Corfu? - Man Hiking in the Mountains 

I've heard that Greece now has a law prohibiting free camping. But I've also heard that it's only enforced in touristy beach areas to protect the local accommodation businesses.

So which places in Corfu would free camping be OK? Are there some undeveloped beaches or would it be best not to be near a beach at all?

I'd prefer answers from people who have actually done free camping in Corfu or met people who were doing it.
