The Property — Levant
The Levant is a straightforward 3-star hotel a short walk from Corfu Town’s centre. The lobby is modest but tidy, with a small reception desk and a seating area; the vibe is practical rather than charming. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean base near the Old Port and Liston, without resort-style frills.
Chronicles of Corfu
Corfu Town’s founding dates to the 8th century BC as the Corinthian colony Korkyra. Its architecture is a UNESCO-listed mix of Venetian, French and British influences, shaped by centuries of rule. The Liston arcade echoes Parisian boulevards, while the Old Fortress sits on a Byzantine-era islet. Today the city thrives on tourism but retains a strong local identity, with a lively café culture and Orthodox traditions.
Best Time to Visit
Full Corfu guide →Best months
May and September offer warm, sunny days (mid-20s °C) with fewer crowds than July-August. June is also good, though it gets busier by mid-month.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the hottest months (peaking 32-35°C) and busiest, with arrivals for the Corfu Festival of Arts and religious feasts like Agios Spyridon (11 Aug). Hotel prices double; book well ahead.
Budget shoulder season
April, October and early November bring milder weather (15-22°C), discounts of 30-50% on peak rates, and quieter streets. Perfect for sightseeing without the heat.
Weather & packing
Corfu’s weather can switch abruptly – a morning downpour often clears to blazing sun by noon. Pack a compact umbrella and light layers, plus sturdy sandals or shoes for cobbled streets.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Levant, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (3rd or 4th) facing the rear courtyard. These are furthest from street noise and get better light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground- and first-floor front rooms. They face the road directly, pick up passing traffic and footfall, and have limited privacy.
Best views
Upper rear rooms look over the courtyard and rooftops, offering a pleasant but not spectacular view. Front rooms see the street.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, being above street-level disturbance and away from the lobby and breakfast area.
🔊 Noise notes
This hotel sits on a Corfu town street, so traffic noise is the main issue – especially on lower floors and during peak hours (midday, early evening).
Insider tips
1. Ask for a rear-facing room when booking – it costs nothing and cuts street noise sharply. 2. If you drive, check if the hotel has off-street parking; street parking in Corfu town can be tight, especially in summer.
- 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

Use ATMs in Corfu Town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or ferry port, which add poor rates and fees.
Major credit and debit cards are accepted in most shops, restaurants, and hotels; contactless is common, but smaller kiosks and taxis may prefer cash.
Not obligatory but appreciated: round up taxi fares, leave 5-10% in restaurants if service is good, and leave a couple of euros for cleaners or porters.

Cheap car hire →A freddo espresso at any local kafenio or bakery: about €2–3.
A gyros pita from a street-side souvlaki shop: €3–4.

The main drag in Corfu Town (San Rocco Square area) has several souvlaki and piadina stands; the Old Port also has evening food stalls.
Supermarket chains like AB Vassilopoulos and Sklavenitis are common across Corfu.
The main shopping streets (Nikiforou Theotoki and Evgeniou Voulgareos) have H&M, Zara, and local boutiques; avoid the tourist-trap stalls.
Buses run by KTEL cover most villages and Corfu Town; a single trip within town is €1.20, day passes rarely worth it. From the airport, bus line 15 goes to town (€1.20) or a taxi is €10–12.
Eat where locals queue for lunch (away from the harbour). Buy olive oil and wine from supermarkets, not souvenir shops. Pick up a reusable water bottle – tap water is safe and fountains are around town.

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.
