Chronicles of Corfu
Corfu, the second-largest Ionian island, has a rich history dating back to the 8th century BC. The city was a key strategic point in the Classical period, with the ancient Greeks and Romans leaving their mark on its architecture. The Venetians and British later influenced Corfu's development, with the city's Old Town showcasing a unique blend of styles. Today, Corfu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular destination for cultural and historical exploration. Its vibrant cultural scene is a testament to its storied past, with numerous festivals and events celebrating music, dance, and traditional cuisine throughout the year.
Best Time to Visit
Full Corfu guide →Best months
June and September are the ideal months to visit Corfu, with warm weather, minimal crowds, and lower prices. The summer heat has dissipated, and the sea is calm, making it perfect for swimming and water activities. May is also a good option, with pleasant temperatures and fewer tourists.
Peak / festival surge
August is peak season, driven by the peak tourist season and the Corfu Festival, a month-long celebration of music, dance, and theatre. Hotel prices surge, and popular attractions can get crowded. The city hosts the iconic Corfu Carnival in February, but it's not a peak month for tourism.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are great shoulder months, with mild weather, lower prices, and fewer crowds. You can enjoy the scenic beauty of Corfu without the peak-season chaos, and the apartments' rates are more reasonable.
Weather & packing
Corfu's climate is influenced by its Mediterranean location, with warm summers and mild winters. Be prepared for occasional heatwaves in July and August, and pack lightweight, breathable clothing, especially for outdoor activities.

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.
