The Property — The Beach House
The Beach House is a relaxed three-star hotel a short walk from the main strip in Corfu Town. The lobby feels like a sun-bleached seaside cottage: pale wood floors, rattan furniture, and the faint salt breeze coming off the channel. It suits couples or solo travellers who want clean, affordable rooms and easy access to both the old town and the airport bus line.
Chronicles of Corfu
Corfu Town was founded in the 8th century BCE by Corinthians and later fortified by the Venetians, whose four centuries of rule left a dense grid of narrow streets and arcaded squares. The British took over in 1815 and added the neoclassical Liston promenade and the Palace of St. Michael and St George. Today it’s a hybrid of Italianate palazzos, Byzantine churches and British colonial villas, with a contemporary café-and-bar scene centred around Spianada Square.
Best Time to Visit
Full Corfu guide →Best months
June and September offer settled heat (around 28°C) and the Ionian Sea is warm enough for swimming, with fewer visitors than July and August. Late May is also good if you want to dodge the school holiday rush.
Peak / festival surge
July and August see high temperatures and peak prices; The Beach House usually charges 30–40% more than in May. The Corfu International Festival in late August draws classical music crowds, but the main driver is simply Mediterranean sun and beach tourism.
Budget shoulder season
May and late September are the best budget months: room rates drop by a quarter, the heat is less intense, and you can still swim. October stays warm but some beach bars and boat trips start shutting down.
Weather & packing
Corfu can get sudden thunderstorms even in July, so always bring a light rain jacket. Pack one dressy outfit for an evening at the Liston; otherwise, swimwear, linen and sturdy sandals will cover most of your trip.
Live City Briefing — Corfu
- The new electric bus route from the airport to San Rocco Square started in June 2026, cutting travel time to the Beach House to about 15 minutes.
- A section of the Old Port waterfront is pedestrianised until September, so taxis and buses drop you at the edge of the new Marina park.
- Some tavernas on the Garitsa Bay promenade have introduced later dinner sittings (from 8pm) to match the extended daylight hours.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to The Beach House, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

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.
