La proprietà — Marco Polo
The Marco Polo is a functional, no-frills 3-star in central Corfu Town, a short walk from the Liston arcade and the Old Fortress. The lobby is small and practical, with a front desk that handles check-ins efficiently, and the vibe is more budget traveller or business visitor than holidaymaker — think clean rooms, air conditioning that works, and continental breakfast included. It suits anyone who plans to spend most of their time out exploring and just needs a reliable base in the heart of the action.
Cronache di Corfu
Corfu Town was founded in the 8th century BC as a Corinthian colony, and its architecture reflects centuries of Venetian, French and British rule — the Old Town's narrow alleys, pastel-painted Venetian buildings and arcaded Liston are UNESCO-listed. The Esplanade, a large square originally used for Venetian parades, remains the city's social hub. Modern Corfu is a tourist gateway, but its cultural identity is proudly Ionian: cafés serve thick Greek coffee alongside Italian-influenced pastries, and the annual Easter celebrations draw crowds for philharmonic bands and candlelit processions.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Corfu →I migliori mesi
May, June and September offer sunny days in the mid-20s°C, calm seas for swimming, and far fewer tourists than July-August — plus hotel rates are often 20-30% lower.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the busiest months, when temperatures hit 30-33°C and the Old Town chokes with cruise-ship day-trippers. Hotel prices at 3-star properties like Marco Polo can double, and events like the Corfu International Festival (July-August) push demand even higher.
Stagione di spalla
May and October are the best budget shoulder months: May has spring flowers and mild weather, while October stays warm enough for beach days but sees prices drop by half as crowds vanish.
Meteo e imballaggio
Corfu's climate is Mediterranean with a sticky summer humidity that can make afternoons feel hotter than the thermometer suggests. Pack light linen or cotton clothes, a hat, sunscreen and a reusable water bottle — and bring a compact umbrella for sudden late-afternoon thunderstorms.
Briefing della città — Corfu
- The Corfu Old Town pedestrian zone has been expanded — most of the streets around the Liston and Spianada are now car-free from 8am to midnight, making walking easier but taxis drop you at the perimeter.
- A new direct ferry from Brindisi, Italy, started in April 2026, increasing day-tripper numbers significantly in summer — expect fuller restaurants around lunchtime.
- The municipal water supply in central Corfu Town is currently safe to drink (tested June 2026) but locals still recommend bottled water for sensitive stomachs.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Marco Polo, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor, ideally 4th or 5th floor, as it's likely to be further away from the street noise. The hotel's address in Corfu suggests it's situated in a relatively busy area, and being higher up will help reduce the noise level.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors, particularly those near the lift, as the noise from the street and potential service entrance activity may be more noticeable.
Best views
Given the hotel's address, rooms on the higher floors may offer views of the surrounding area, although the exact view will depend on the room's orientation.
Quietest floors
The 4th and 5th floors are likely the quietest, given their higher elevation and distance from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that Corfu's streets can be lively, especially in the evenings, so rooms on lower floors may be more prone to noise from outside. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to the town may mean some background noise from bars or restaurants.
Insider tips
Request a room with a balcony to make the most of the views and fresh air. Also, consider using the hotel's lift, as the stairs may be narrow and steep, especially for guests with mobility issues.
- 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.
