Das Eigentum — Saint George Palace
The Saint George Palace feels like a well-kept, mid-century seaside retreat rather than a modern palace. The lobby is clean, cool and unfussy, with white tiles and a faint scent of salt air from the open terrace. It suits travellers who want a solid, quiet 3-star base within walking distance of the beach and old town, without paying for frills or character. The USP is simply the location — a 10-minute stroll to both the historic Old Fortress and Garitsa Bay’s swimming spots.
Chroniken von Corfu
Corfu Town has been a strategic Adriatic port since Byzantine times, but its defining architectural moment came under four centuries of Venetian rule (1386–1797). The Venetians built the massive Old and New Fortresses, paved the narrow kampiela streets, and erected the elegant Liston arcade, modelled on Paris’s Rue de Rivoli. Later, British rule (1815–1864) added neoclassical mansions and cricket grounds. Today the city’s UNESCO-listed Old Town fuses Venetian, French and Ionian influences, and its lively café culture along the Spianada square still feels distinctly continental.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Corfu-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June and September: temperatures in the mid-20s°C, sea warm by June, and the Old Town is busy but not suffocating. July and August can be ferociously hot and crowded, but for a one-night summer stopover you can still enjoy evening sights comfortably.
Peak / Festival Surge
July–August is absolute peak, driven by European school holidays and direct charter flights. Hotel prices in Corfu Town double or triple from shoulder rates, and the Palace’s standard double often hits €130–180. The main event is the Corfu Festival (July–August) with open-air concerts and theatre, but most visitors come for the beaches.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late May and early October are the best budget shoulder months: prices drop 30-40%, streets are quiet, and you still get sunny days and 22°C+ highs. The sea remains swimmable well into October.
Wetter & Verpackung
Corfu’s climate is Mediterranean but with sudden, intense afternoon thunderstorms even in summer — the island’s high hills trigger local convection. Rule: always pack a light waterproof jacket or a compact travel umbrella, even in July.

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.
