Das Eigentum — Blue Sea
Blue Sea is a compact, family-run 3-star on Corfu’s northeastern coast, a short walk from Ipsos beach. The lobby feels like a sun-bleached Greek summer house: whitewashed walls, potted geraniums, a small bar where the owner pours ouzo. It’s basic but cheerful, aimed at budget-conscious couples and small families who want a clean base, not resort glitz. The USP is the sea view from the front rooms and the taverna next door serving grilled octopus.
Chroniken von Corfu
Corfu Town was founded in the 8th century BC by Corinthian colonists. Its architecture is a layered palimpsest: Venetian fortresses and arcades from the 14th–18th centuries, British neoclassical buildings from the protectorate era, and narrow kantoúnia (alleys) lined with French-influenced balconies. The city survived sieges, plagues, and a brief Russian occupation, and today its culture is cosmopolitan yet distinctly Ionian, with a love for cricket and ginger beer.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Corfu-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June, September – warm seas, reliable sun, and fewer package tourists than July–August.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the hottest and busiest, with temperatures often above 32°C. Corfu’s festivals – including the Paleokastritsa Festival and religious processions – draw crowds. Hotel prices double from June rates; a standard double at Blue Sea costs roughly €80–€100 per night in peak.
Budget Schulter Saison
May and September offer 25–28°C days, lower prices (around €50–€70 per night), and emptier beaches. October is cooler but still pleasant for walking and sightseeing.
Wetter & Verpackung
Corfu can get sudden afternoon thunderstorms even in July – a light waterproof jacket is worth packing. Sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat are non-negotiable; the UV index from 11am–3pm is brutal.

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.
