The Property — Corfu Palms
Corfu Palms is a straightforward, no-frills three-star hotel on the eastern coast of Corfu, a short walk from the beach at Dassia. The lobby feels small and functional, with a reception desk and a couple of armchairs, and the vibe is low-key family-run. It suits travellers who want a clean, affordable base with a pool, rather than the character of a boutique or historic property. The USP is its quiet location away from Corfu Town’s bustle, with reliable air conditioning and a free shuttle to a nearby beach.
Chronicles of Corfu
Corfu Town was founded in the 8th century BC by Corinthians and later became a key Byzantine and Venetian naval base. Its Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with narrow cobbled streets, Venetian architecture, and two mighty fortresses. French and British rule in the 19th century added neoclassical buildings and the Liston promenade, modelled on Paris’s Rue de Rivoli. Today, the city is a mix of Italianate elegance and Greek island life, with a lively café culture and strong tourism industry.
Best Time to Visit
Full Corfu guide →Best months
June and September: warm, sunny, and calm seas with fewer crowds than July and August. September still has beach weather but prices drop.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months due to school holidays and European summer heat. Hotel prices at Corfu Palms can double from spring rates, and Dassia gets crowded. The two main drivers are beach tourism and the Corfu International Festival in July/August.
Budget shoulder season
May and October are the best budget months: May has flowers and quiet beaches, October has mild weather and off-peak prices. The hotel often runs 30–40% discounts.
Weather & packing
Corfu can experience sudden afternoon thunderstorms even in July, so carry an umbrella or light waterproof. Your packing rule: bring a wide-brimmed hat and high-SPF sunscreen for the strong midsummer sun.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Corfu Palms, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first or second floor (of three) at the rear side of the building. These rooms are away from the main road and avoid the few steps from the lift to the upper floor.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid the third floor. The lift only goes to the second floor, so you’ll have to carry luggage up a flight of stairs. Also avoid any room facing the front street on the ground floor – noise from passing traffic and the small car park will carry.
Best views
The rear-facing rooms on first or second floor look over the hotel’s small garden and pool area. No sea view – it’s a 3-star inland property near road.
Quietest floors
First and second floors are generally quietest. Ground floor rooms with rear position are also acceptable, but may have some footfall noise from the lobby.
🔊 Noise notes
Road noise from the main street (likely a busy coastal road) is audible at the front. The hotel is in a suburban strip of similar hotels, so expect occasional traffic from 7am to late evening. The small bar on ground floor may produce low music until around 11pm.
Insider tips
Parking is usually on street or a small hotel car park – arrive early afternoon to grab a spot. If you want a quiet start, ask for a room at the back and request a late check-out (often granted if hotel is quiet).
- 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

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.
