La proprietà — Argo Hotel
The Argo Hotel on Corfu's northeast coast feels like a quiet family-run base, not a resort. The lobby is small, tiled and functional, with a bar off to one side and a terrace looking out to sea. It's a three-star that keeps things clean, simple and practical, suited best to couples or small families who want a cheap, no-frills stop near Corfu Town and the beaches of Ipsos and Dassia. The USP is its position: ten minutes by bus into town, with a pebble beach and bus stop right outside.
Cronache di Corfu
Corfu Town has been a key maritime hub since the 8th century BC, when it was a Corinthian colony. The Old Town's distinctive Italianate architecture comes from four centuries of Venetian rule (1386–1797), which left a legacy of narrow cobbled lanes, arched colonnades and the Old Fortress. The French and British followed, adding squares like the Liston and the Palace of St Michael and St George. Today, Corfu Town remains the island's cultural and economic centre, with a working port, a university and a blend of Greek and Mediterranean energies that feels more cosmopolitan than many other island capitals.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Corfu →I migliori mesi
May, June and September offer the best balance: sea water warm enough for swimming, reliable sunshine and lower chance of heatwaves, plus fewer crowds than July/August.
Peak / Festival Surge
August is the absolute peak, driven by Greek and European holidaymakers, plus the Corfu Beer Festival in early August. Hotel prices roughly double from June levels, and advance booking is essential.
Stagione di spalla
Late May and early October deliver 20–25°C days, reduced tourist density, and hotel rates around 30-40% cheaper than August. You'll get quieter beaches and easier access to sites.
Meteo e imballaggio
Corfu is significantly wetter than most of Greece — annual rainfall exceeds 1,000mm, concentrated in winter — so carry a light waterproof even in summer. Pack at least one long-sleeved top for evening breezes and for visiting monasteries.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Argo Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor facing the rear of the hotel (away from the Perama road). This avoids street noise from the main road and gives a better chance of a quiet night.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the lobby or staircase; these can pick up early-morning lobby noise and foot traffic. Also avoid rooms at the front directly overlooking Perama – the road can be busy with local traffic, especially in summer.
Best views
The address is Perama – so front-facing rooms have a view of the road and local buildings. The best view is likely from upper-floor rear rooms, which might overlook the hotel's garden or neighbouring fields, offering a greener outlook.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are typically quietest, as they are above street-level commotion but not near any roof-level equipment.
🔊 Noise notes
Perama is a main road in Corfu, carrying local traffic and tourist transfers. The road noise peaks during daytime and early evening. The hotel has no bar or disco on site, so quiet is mostly down to street position.
Insider tips
1. Parking is limited in Perama – ask the hotel on booking if they have a reserved spot or a nearby public car park. 2. Check in after 2pm to let earlier departing guests clear – the small reception can get cramped with luggage at peak times.
- 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

Principali attrazioni a 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.
