Das Eigentum — Alexandros
The Alexandros is a straightforward 3-star hotel a short walk from Corfu Town's centre and the Old Port. It feels like a clean, no-nonsense base: tiled floors, a small reception that smells of sun cream and coffee, and a rooftop terrace with a view over the tiled rooftops to the sea. It suits travellers who want to sleep cheaply, walk everywhere, and spend their money on food and ferries, not on lobby decor.
Chroniken von Corfu
Corfu Town was founded in the 8th century BC as a Corinthian colony. Its Old Town is a maze of narrow alleys and tall Venetian buildings after four centuries of Venetian rule, which ended in 1797. The two fortresses, the Liston promenade, and the arcades all date from that period. Successive occupations by the French, British, and Greeks layered in neoclassical mansions and cricket grounds, giving the city a distinctly Italianate, cosmopolitan feel. Today it's a UNESCO World Heritage site and a busy ferry hub, balancing heritage tourism with everyday Greek island life.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Corfu-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June and September offer warm, settled weather with average highs of 24-28°C, lower humidity than July/August, and noticeably fewer cruise-ship crowds clogging the Old Town.
Peak / Festival Surge
August is the absolute peak: schools are out, the Meltemi wind can pick up, and temperatures hit 33°C. Hotel prices double or triple, and the town is packed with tourists from the whole Mediterranean. The main driver is the European summer holiday season, compounded by yachting events and the Corfu International Festival in July and August.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late April–early May and October are the best budget months. You get 18-22°C highs, still enough sun for a beach day, hotel discounts of 40-50% against August, and room to walk the Old Town without jostling.
Wetter & Verpackung
Corfu has a Mediterranean climate with a wetter spring than most Greek islands—May can still see quick showers. Pack a lightweight rain jacket or an umbrella even in July; a single storm can roll in from the Ionian Sea.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Corfu
- The Corfu Town bus station has been temporarily relocated to the New Port during the renovation of the San Rocco terminal; check the local KTEL website for service changes.
- The Old Town pedestrianisation scheme has expanded: most of Nikiforou Theotoki and adjacent streets are now car-free between 10am and midnight, making walking easier but delivery drivers more creative.
- Several new waterfront tavernas and cocktail bars have opened on the Faliraki promenade this summer, offering direct views of the Old Fortress at sunset—book ahead for a table.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Alexandros, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
For a quieter stay, request a room on a higher floor (above the 3rd floor) as it will be further away from the noise of the street and the service entrance. Additionally, rooms facing the rear of the hotel (away from the street) will be less prone to noise disturbance.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st and 2nd) as they are closer to the street and service entrance, which may generate noise. Also, be aware that rooms on the 1st floor with a view of the street may receive noise from pedestrians and vehicles.
Best views
Given the hotel's address in Corfu, rooms on the higher floors with a north or east orientation may have a view of the surrounding cityscape or the sea.
Quietest floors
The 4th to 6th floors are likely to be the quietest, given their higher elevation.
🔊 Noise notes
Guests should be aware of potential noise from the street and the service entrance, especially on lower floors. Additionally, the hotel's location in Corfu may also be subject to occasional noise from nearby bars or restaurants.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a balcony or a higher floor to enjoy a better view of the city or the sea. If you're planning to visit during peak season, be sure to check the hotel's parking options and availability, as parking spaces may be limited in the area.
- 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

Top-Attraktionen 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.
