La propiedad — Bintzan Inn
The Bintzan Inn is a solid three-star with clean, air-conditioned rooms and a small pool, about a 15-minute walk from Corfu Town’s Old Port. It’s a sensible choice for travellers who prioritise a quiet location, reliable amenities and decent value over boutique charm. The lobby is functional rather than cosy — tiled floors, a front desk with a rack of leaflets, and a faint smell of chlorine from the pool next door.
Crónicas de Corfu
Corfu Town’s recorded history stretches back to the 8th century BCE when it was founded as a Corinthian colony. Its architecture is a layered palimpsest of Venetian, French and British rule, most visibly in the arcaded Liston promenade and the narrow, laundry-strung alleys of the Káto Plateia district. The Old Town, encircled by two massive Venetian fortresses, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, blending Byzantine churches with elegant neoclassical mansions. Today the island’s identity balances tourism with a robust local culture: the annual Easter celebrations feature orchestras playing Mantzaros’s marches, while the city’s cafés and ouzeries sustain a year-round rhythm of coffee, backgammon and political debate.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Corfu →Los mejores meses
May and September are ideal: warm enough for the beach (24–28°C), the sea is swimmable, and crowds are thin outside the two-week peak of August. June works too, though it gets busier by the third week.
Peak / Festival Surge
August is the absolute peak, driven by northern European school holidays and the Assumption Day holiday (15 August), when Greek domestic tourism surges. Room rates at the Bintzan Inn roughly double versus May, and advance booking is essential for any decent property.
La temporada del hombro
Late April–early May and late September–October are the best budget shoulder months: temperatures are still 20–25°C, flights and rooms drop by 30–50%, and the island is calm. You trade sea warmth for real solitude.
Tiempo y embalaje
Corfu’s microclimate is the wettest in Greece, with sudden afternoon showers even in July. Pack a light waterproof jacket or a compact umbrella regardless of the forecast, and bring sturdy sandals for slippery old-town streets.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Bintzan Inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor at the rear of the building, away from the street. These floors reduce foot traffic noise and offer more privacy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and any overlooking the front entrance or the small courtyard where staff may gather. These can be noisy from arrivals and deliveries.
Best views
Rooms facing the rear garden or side alley offer the best view of greenery and less street activity. No sea view at this 3-star inn.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest, as the ground floor has reception and storage, and the first floor can pick up lobby noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Corfu’s urban traffic (especially motorcycles and tour buses) is audible from front-facing rooms. The small reception area can transmit chatter, especially at check-in/out times.

Park on the nearby public lot (free after 8 pm) rather than the hotel’s limited spaces. Check-in early to snag a rear room, as they’re quieter and more requested.

- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principales atracciones en 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.
