La propriété — Marialice
Marialice is a straightforward, family-run 3-star in Corfu Town’s New Fortress district. The lobby is tiled and cool, with a small reception desk and a few armchairs, and the vibe is practical rather than polished. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, central base and don't need extras beyond a decent breakfast. The USP is location: a five-minute walk to the main shopping street and the Old Town’s Venetian lanes.
Chroniques de Corfu
Corfu Town was founded in the 8th century BC, but its current shape comes from four centuries of Venetian rule (1386-1797), which fortified the old citadel and built the elegant Liston arcade. The British took over in 1815, leaving neoclassical villas and cricket, then a union with Greece in 1864 added layers of 19th-century customs architecture. Today the UNESCO-listed Old Town is a living museum of cobbled alleys, French-style squares and pastel façades, while the port and tourism drive the economy. Culturally, it mixes Greek Orthodox traditions with a strong Italianate heritage – visible in the food, music and local dialect.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Corfu →Meilleurs mois
May and September offer settled sunshine (23-28°C) with fewer crowds than July-August. June is also excellent, with long days and the sea warm enough to swim.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August are the absolute peak, driven by European school holidays and direct flights. Prices at Marialice can double, and the Old Town is packed with cruise-ship day-trippers. The main event is the Corfu Festival (July-September) with classical concerts in historic venues.
La saison des épaules
October and April are the best shoulder months. You’ll pay 30-40% less than July, the island is green and quiet, and rain is possible but not constant. The sea stays warm into early October.
Météo & Emballage
July in Corfu is reliably hot (29-33°C) with high humidity, but a meltemi wind can blow cool at night. Pack light cottons, a sunhat and a thin jacket for evening sea breezes – and sturdy walking shoes for the Old Town’s slippery marble streets.
Briefing de la ville — Corfu
- The main pedestrian street (Nikiforou Theotoki) has several new cafés and gelaterias opened in 2025, replacing old souvenir shops.
- Corfu's hop-on-hop-off bus service has extended its route to include the Mon Repos estate, making it easier to reach the beach without a taxi.
- The city council has introduced a trial traffic restriction in the Old Town during July and August, with fines for unauthorised vehicles between 10am and 10pm.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Marialice, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the inner courtyard – these are quieter and get decent morning light without the street racket.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the lobby or any room directly above the bar (if there is one) – Corfu 3-star hotels often have a small bar that stays open late, and ground floors suffer from footfall and staff noise.
Best views
Ask for a room on the upper floor with a side or front view – in central Corfu Town you might get a glimpse of the Old Fortress or rooftops, but don’t expect sea views from a 3-star unless specified.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 – far enough from street-level bustle and lobby activity, close enough to stairs if lift is slow.
🔊 Noise notes
Corfu's narrow streets amplify scooters, delivery vans, and late-night revellers. A room not facing the main road helps. Also, the lift motor can hum on adjacent walls – avoid rooms next to the lift shaft.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, ask reception for the nearest free parking street – don't rely on hotel parking. 2. Request a top-floor room for better air circulation – Corfu gets humid, and air-con in older 3-star hotels can be weak.
- 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

A main course at a modest taverna, like moussaka or grilled fish, costs roughly €10-14.
The old town's backstreets near Liston and Spianada square have souvlaki and koulouri stalls; the main market on G. Theotoki street has cheap pastries and olives.
Supermarkets like AB Vassilopoulos, Lidl, and Sklavenitis are common across Corfu town and suburbs.
The main high street (Evgeniou Voulgareos) has chain stores like H&M and Zara; the old town's market streets (e.g., Agios Spyridon) have cheaper boutiques and souvenir clothing.

Eat lunch at tavernas outside the immediate tourist zone (e.g., north of the old fortress) for lower prices. Drink tap water—it's safe—instead of buying bottled. Visit main attractions like the Old Fortress or Corfu Palace gardens for a cheaper alternative to expensive museums.

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.
