The Property — Sausan Hotel
The Sausan Hotel is a no-frills one-star in central Corfu Town, a clean but tired base for travellers on a tight budget. From its small lobby with worn linoleum and a vending machine, you feel the functional trade-off: rock-bottom price for a room within walking distance of the Old Fort and Liston. It suits backpackers or anyone prioritising location over comfort, willing to accept thin walls and minimal service.
Chronicles of Corfu
Corfu City was founded in the 8th century BC as a Corinthian colony, later ruled by Venice for four centuries, which gave it the trademark arcaded streets and fortresses. The Venetians built the Old Fort and the Liston promenade, modelled on Paris's Rue de Rivoli. Under British rule in the 19th century, the Ionian Academy and neoclassical mansions appeared. Today, the city is a UNESCO World Heritage site, blending Byzantine, Venetian and British architecture into a lively cultural mix of a university town and tourist gateway.
Best Time to Visit
Full Corfu guide →Best months
May, June and September: warm but not scorching, with manageable crowds for sightseeing before peak summer crush.
Peak / festival surge
July–August: hottest, driest months, school holidays drive massive crowds. Hotel prices double or triple. The Corfu International Festival (July–September) and nearby Paleokastritsa beaches draw peak demand.
Budget shoulder season
May and October: often 20–25°C, quieter streets, flights and rooms 30–50% cheaper than July, still plenty of sun.
Weather & packing
Corfu can have sudden afternoon thunderstorms even in July. Pack a lightweight rain jacket or small umbrella as well as sun protection and light layers.
Live City Briefing — Corfu
- New bicycle and e-scooter hire schemes launched spring 2025 in the old town, reducing car traffic in the historic core.
- Ongoing roadworks on the Corfu–Lefkimi coastal road (Route 24) cause delays; use the inland route via Potamos if heading south.
- Seasonal note: many tavernas in the old town close on Sundays in July; reserve ahead at popular spots like Rex or Lykodaskalos.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sausan Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor or higher, facing the rear courtyard rather than the street, to minimise traffic noise from Corfu's narrow roads.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the entrance or reception, as they can pick up hallway and street noise, and may have limited ventilation.
Best views
Side or rear courtyard views (if available) offer a glimpse of local life; street-facing rooms give a direct view of Corfu town activity but with more noise.
Quietest floors
First floor and above, especially rear-facing rooms, are the quietest at this one-star property with no lift.
🔊 Noise notes
Being on a street in Corfu town means mopeds, tour groups, and café chatter; no lift means stairs amplify corridor noise. Rear rooms are quieter.
Insider tips
Check in early to secure a rear-facing room; pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper, as the street-facing rooms have no double glazing given the one-star rating.
- 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 the airport or port as they take a heavy commission.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and hotels; smaller tavernas and market stalls may prefer cash, so carry some.
Rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% for good service is normal in restaurants; taxis and hotel staff appreciate small change but it's not expected.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A freddo espresso from a local kafeneio costs around €2.50-€3.
A gyros pita from a street-side grill is €3.50-€5 and fills you up.
A main course of moussaka or souvlaki at a modest taverna runs €8-€12.
Along the Old Town's narrow streets and the Spianada square, souvlaki and gyros stands are the main cheap-eats option.
AB Vassilopoulos, Lidl and My Market are the common budget chains in Corfu Town.
The main pedestrian street, Nikiforou Theotoki, has chain stores like H&M and Zara with reasonable prices.
A single bus ticket within Corfu Town costs €1.20; from the airport a local bus (line 2 or 15) takes you to town for €1.20, far cheaper than a taxi (€10-15).
Eat at tavernas away from the main tourist drag in the Old Town to save €3-5 per dish; buy bottled water and snacks from supermarkets rather than beach kiosks where prices double; take the local bus to Paleokastritsa or Glyfada beach instead of a tour bus.

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.
