The Property — Margarita Suits
Margarita Suits is a straightforward three-star property in central Corfu Town, a short walk from the Liston and the Old Fortress. The lobby is compact and functional, with tiled floors and a small reception desk; the vibe is no-frills and practical, aimed at budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, reliable base rather than atmosphere. It suits couples or solo visitors who plan to spend most of their time out exploring the island and just need a decent room for sleeping.
Chronicles of Corfu
Corfu Town's history begins in the 8th century BC as a Corinthian colony, but its defining architecture dates from four centuries of Venetian rule (1386–1797), visible in the arcaded Liston and the fortresses. French and British occupations in the 19th century added neoclassical villas and the Ionian Academy. After union with Greece in 1864, the city became a cultural crossroads, blending Italianate elegance with Greek island life. Today, its UNESCO-listed Old Town is a bustling tourist hub, known for its café culture and the Easter celebration of the Resurrection with candlelit processions.
Best Time to Visit
Full Corfu guide →Best months
June and September: warm, sunny days with sea temperatures comfortable for swimming (around 24°C), but fewer crowds than July and August.
Peak / festival surge
July is the peak month, pushed by school holidays across Europe. Hotel prices at three-star properties like Margarita Suits roughly double from June rates. The Corfu International Festival of Music and Arts runs from June into August, pulling cultural visitors.
Budget shoulder season
May and October offer good discounts (30-40% off peak rates), temperatures in the low-to-mid 20s°C, and far fewer tourists. Ferry and flight schedules reduce from October, so check connections.
Weather & packing
Corfu's climate is Mediterranean with a summer dry season, but a sudden afternoon thunderstorm can blow in from the Ionian Sea. Pack a lightweight rain shell over your shorts and T-shirts.
Live City Briefing — Corfu
- The Corfu Airport (CFU) has completed runway resurfacing in spring 2025, but expect minor delays during peak July weekends as charter flights increase.
- In March 2026, the new Kavos-to-Corfu Town express bus route launched, cutting journey time from the south to under 90 minutes — useful for day trips.
- The Old Fortress's main exhibition hall remains closed for earthquake reinforcement until autumn 2026; the ramparts and cannon terrace are still accessible.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Margarita Suits, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor facing the courtyard or garden (if available). These floors sit above street-level bustle and avoid foot traffic noise from the entrance. The lift serves all floors, so upper floors are still accessible without hauling bags.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms: they are closest to reception noise and the street entrance, and may suffer from footfall and early-morning luggage wheels. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft at any level — the lift mechanism can be audible in Corfu’s older buildings.
Best views
Ask for a room facing the courtyard or side street (likely quieter with a glimpse of local life). The address 'Corfu' suggests an urban location, so expect limited views of the old fortress or harbour unless specified; a courtyard view minimises dustbin and vehicle eyesores.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest — high enough to escape street noise, low enough to avoid roof-level plant or terrace noise if present.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from mopeds, delivery vans, and tourists is typical in central Corfu town — especially on the side with the main road or pedestrianised strip. Early-morning bin collection and late-night bar crowds (especially in summer) can be audible on lower floors. The lift motor may hum in adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1. Arrive before 14:00 to request a courtyard-facing room in person — rooms on the back side are consistently quieter. 2. If you have a car, ask reception for the nearest free public parking spot (blue zones exist in Corfu town, but the hotel may have a discount arrangement with a nearby garage — don't assume they have on-site parking).
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Corfu Airport and the port, which charge high fees and poor rates.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger shops; smaller tavernas and market stalls often prefer cash, so always carry some euros.
Not expected but appreciated: round up the bill in restaurants (5-10% for good service), leave small change for taxis, and tip hotel maids €1–2 per day.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Greek frappé (iced instant coffee) or a freddo cappuccino at a local kafeneio, around €3–4.
A gyros pita (pork or chicken) from a souvlaki shop, about €4–5.
A moussaka or grilled fish dish at a traditional taverna, roughly €10–15 for a main course.
Look for souvlaki stands and bakeries in Corfu Town’s old market streets (e.g., near the Liston) for cheap, quick eats.
Supermarkets such as AB Vassilopoulos or Lidl are common; Lidl tends to be cheapest for basics.
Affordable clothing can be found at H&M or Zara in Corfu Town; also check the Saturday morning flea market at the New Fortress for second-hand bargains.
The green bus from Corfu Airport to town costs around €1.50; a day pass for local buses is about €5, or you can walk most of the town centre on foot.
Eat where locals eat – tavernas off the main tourist strips charge half the price. Buy lunch from bakeries or souvlaki shops instead of sit-down restaurants. Use the public water fountains (free) and refill a bottle rather than buying plastic water.

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.
