La proprietà — Athina Hotel
The Athina Hotel in Corfu Town is a no-fuss 3-star with a big terrace and a rooftop bar that gives you a decent view of the Old Fortress. Rooms are basic and clean, the breakfast is continental and passable, and the staff are friendly without being pushy. It works best for budget-conscious travellers who plan to spend most of their time out exploring, not lounging in the hotel lobby.
Cronache di Corfu
Corfu Town has been a strategic port since antiquity, founded by Corinthians in the 8th century BC. Its architecture is a vivid mash-up of Venetian, French and British influences, thanks to centuries of rule by those powers before unification with Greece in 1864. The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, its narrow alleyways and Liston promenade still echoing the Italianate elegance of the Venetian era. Today it is a lively, modern city with a strong café culture and a mix of local life and tourism.

Guida completa di Corfu →I migliori mesi
May, June and September are ideal: warm enough for beaches and sightseeing, but without the heavy crowds or heat spikes of high summer. Hotel rates are moderate in May and September.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak months, driven by school holidays and European summer tourism. Corfu Town gets packed with cruise passengers and day-trippers, and hotel prices double or more. The Corfu Festival usually runs from July to September, adding cultural events.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Athina Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (at least 3rd floor) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's location on the main street in Corfu may generate some street noise. The hotel's lift only goes up to the 3rd floor, so you'll have to use the stairs for higher floors. If you can, opt for a room at the back of the hotel to minimize street noise.
Rooms to avoid

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.
