La propriété — Ipsos Beach
Ipsos Beach is a modest, family-run three-star right on the main coastal road of Ipsos, a short strip of tavernas and souvenir shops. The vibe is unpretentious and practical: rooms are clean but dated, breakfast is buffet-style with Greek yoghurt and instant coffee, and the real draw is the small private beach area with sunbeds. It suits budget-conscious families or couples who want a base with sea views and don’t mind background traffic noise.
Chroniques de Corfu
Corfu Town was founded in the 8th century BC as a Corinthian colony and evolved under Byzantine, Venetian, French and British rule until union with Greece in 1864. Its Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a dense maze of narrow alleys and tall Venetian mansions with wooden shutters and wrought-iron balconies. The British built the island’s first roads, the Palace of St Michael and St George, and the cricket pitch in the Spianada square. Today Corfu City blends this layered history with a lively café culture and a growing wine-bar scene, while still relying heavily on tourism.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Corfu →Meilleurs mois
May, June and September — warm sea, sunny days, lower humidity, and the island feels open but not overrun. June is ideal for swimming without the July-August crowds.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August. Prices at Ipsos Beach double for a standard double room, driven by European school holidays and charter flights. The Corfu Festival (music/dance events in July–August) adds some cultural pull, but mostly it’s the peak sun-and-beach demand.
La saison des épaules
Late May and September. You’ll get 25–28°C highs, fewer tourists, and room discounts of 30–40% compared to August. The sea is still warm from the summer.
Météo & Emballage
Corfu’s July weather is reliably hot and sunny but can get a humid meltemi wind in the afternoons, so a light windbreaker or long-sleeved linen shirt helps. Pack at least two swimsuits so you always have a dry one, and bring reef-safe sunscreen — the local beaches have rocky patches and the sun is fierce.
Briefing de la ville — Corfu
- The Ipsos seafront promenade is undergoing a pedestrianisation trial until October 2026, which means less traffic noise but limited parking near the hotel — use the free hotel lot or the municipal car park 200m north.
- A new direct bus service now runs every 30 minutes from Ipsos to Corfu Town (route A6), replacing the older route where you had to switch at Dassia. Service starts at 7am and ends at 11pm.
- The main water-park in Sidari (18km north) has been closed for renovations until June 2027, so families looking for water slides should head to Aqualand, 10km south-west of Corfu Town.

Principales attractions à 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.
