The Property — Ξενοδοχείο Aqualand
A 3-star hotel attached to Corfu's biggest waterpark, Aqualand. The lobby is functional, tiled and cool, geared towards families who want pool-slides and sunbeds rather than boutique charm. Rooms are clean but basic; the USP is free entry to the adjacent waterpark, making it a practical base for active, holidaying parents with kids aged 5–16.
Chronicles of Corfu
Corfu Town’s foundations are ancient Greek (Korkyra), but its present form was shaped by four centuries of Venetian rule (1386–1797), which built the fortress-studded Old Town. The British protectorate (1815–1864) added neoclassical mansions and the neo-Gothic Palace of St Michael and St George. Today a UNESCO World Heritage site, the town mixes narrow Venetian lanes with French arcades and a strong café culture that remains proudly local despite heavy tourism.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ξενοδοχείο Aqualand, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor, facing the inland/pool side. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise and the lift shaft disturbance, and the rear orientation minimizes traffic from the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and any room facing the street (Corfu’s main road likely has bus and scooter traffic). Also avoid rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft or the service entrance, as these can be noisy during peak hours.
Best views
Rooms facing inland or the pool area offer a quieter, greener view. If you want a glimpse of the sea, request a higher floor room on the front side, but expect traffic noise.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors. The 1st floor may still catch some street noise, and the 3rd floor is typically quietest in a 3-storey building without a lift.
🔊 Noise notes
Corfu’s main road can be busy with mopeds, buses, and late-night revellers in summer. The lift shaft is audible on lower floors, and the bar area may generate chatter until around midnight.
Insider tips
1. Park on the side street rather than the main road to avoid scooter scrapes. 2. Check in early (around 2 pm) to secure a quieter room — the front desk often has more flexibility before the afternoon rush.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shops, but smaller tavernas and market stalls often prefer cash.

Look for souvlaki stands and bakeries with cheese pies (tiropita) in Corfu Town's narrow streets.
Budget supermarkets like Lidl, AB Vasilopoulos, and Galaxias are common in the area.
For affordable clothing, check the high-street shops in Corfu Town's main shopping streets or the weekly market.
The cheapest way around is the local bus (€1.50-€2 per ride) or a day pass for about €5; from the airport, bus line 15 runs into town for €1.50.
Eat where locals eat – away from the main tourist strips and harbour. Buy wine and water from supermarkets instead of tavernas. Get a ferry or bus card if staying several days to save on single tickets.

Top Attractions in Corfu
💡 If you're visiting on a Sunday morning, you'll see a cricket match—Corfu is the only place in Greece where the sport is played regularly. Buy a cheese pie from a nearby bakery and sit by the Maitland Rotunda.
💡 Go just before 5pm if you want to hear the local women crowd in for the evening litany. Dress modestly—shoulders and knees covered. The reliquary can be kissed after the service if you follow the queue.
💡 Skip the cable car tourist train and walk from the end of the bus line (green bus from San Rocco Square, 1.50 euros). For a swim, take the little boat from the pier below the monastery to Vido Island—free if you swim across from the mainland (200m).
💡 Bring water and wear sturdy shoes—there are many steep steps and no shade. Entry costs 6 euros (2024), but the permanent archaeological exhibition inside is included.
💡 Entry is 4 euros, but free on the first Sunday of each month (November to March). The museum is small—you can do it properly in 45 minutes. Combine it with a walk through the nearby Anemomylos neighborhood for a coffee stop.
