Corfu

When to go

Late spring and early autumn are particularly good for beaches, walks and island excursions. Summer is hot, and the main resorts are busy.

Things to see and do

Walk through Corfu's old town, visit the Old Fortress and the Liston, and explore the island's beaches and small villages.

Practical tips

Check bus connections or rental conditions in advance for trips to remote beaches and villages. Sun protection is important in summer.

Getting there and getting around

Corfu has an international airport and ferry connections to mainland Greece, Italy and neighbouring islands.

Where to stay

Corfu Town is convenient for history and amenities. Coastal settlements suit beach holidays and a quieter atmosphere.

What to try

Try sofrito, pastitsada, fresh fish, olive oil and Ionian cuisine.
