La proprietà — Odyseus
A tidy three-star in Corfu Town's old centre, Odyseus is basic but solid: whitewashed walls, blue shutters, a small courtyard where you eat breakfast. The lobby smells of beeswax and coffee, and the front desk hands you a creased town map. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, central base and don't need frills.
Cronache di Corfu
Corfu's old town was shaped by four centuries of Venetian rule, leaving a tangle of narrow alleys (kantounia) and arcaded squares. The British took over in 1815, adding cricket pitches and neoclassical villas. Unification with Greece in 1864 kept the Ionian identity strong: the city's architecture mixes Renaissance, Baroque and Art Deco. Today it's a Unesco World Heritage site, lively with student cafes and family tavernas.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Corfu →I migliori mesi
May, June and September: clear skies and sea temperatures warm enough for swimming, but the main tourist crush hasn't arrived or has ebbed.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August. Hotels like Odyseus are close to full occupancy, rates jump 30–40% vs May. The Corfu Festival (music and theatre in July–August) draws culture visitors, but the primary driver is beach-seeking package tourism.
Stagione di spalla
Late April, early May and October: rooms 20–30% cheaper, temperatures 20–25°C, fewer crowds at Paleokastritsa and the Old Fortress.
Meteo e imballaggio
Summer afternoons here often bring a sticky sirocco haze off the sea. Pack a light linen jacket for evening breezes on the Liston promenade.
Briefing della città — Corfu
- The new bus station at San Rocco Square opened in 2025, meaning Green Bus routes to the south and west coast now depart from a single terminal.
- Several old-town pedestrian streets (Nikiforou Theotoki, Guilford) were repaved in winter 2025–26, so more of the centre is car-free.
- The Corfu Festival runs through July and August; book tickets for performances at the Old Fortress well in advance.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Odyseus, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 1st or 2nd floor, north-facing (rear side) to avoid street noise from the main road, which is typical of Corfu town centre hotels. These floors have quicker lift access and are above street level without being too high for quick stair escapes.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those facing the street; they’re prone to traffic rumble, pedestrian chatter, and potential late-night bar noise. Also skip top-floor rooms (if lift doesn’t reach top) due to summer heat and stairs if lift is small.
Best views
North-facing rear rooms look over the quiet residential backstreets or courtyard (typical of Corfu old town), with a glimpse of the Old Fortress maybe, but no sea. South-facing front rooms get the main street and busy pedestrians.
Quietest floors
Floors 1-2 are quietest—above street noise, below roof heat, and away from lift motor hum on the top. Ground floor is noisiest.
🔊 Noise notes
Corfu’s main road in the centre has morning traffic (local deliveries), evening bar crowds, and occasional mopeds. The hotel entrance is on a side street, but ground floor street-facing rooms pick up the honking at 8am and music until midnight.
Insider tips
1. If the hotel offers a top-floor room with a small balcony, ask for a south-west orientation for evening sun and views of the old town rooftops—worth the small noise trade-off. 2. Check if the hotel has a resident parking discount at the nearby municipal lot; street parking is tight (metered till 9pm).
- 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

Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist spots — they charge high commissions and poor rates.
Cards widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and hotels; contactless and mobile pay common for small amounts. Some small tavernas and markets prefer cash.
Not mandatory but appreciated: round up the bill in restaurants (5-10% for good service), leave small change for taxis, and tip hotel staff a few euros for extra service.

A souvlaki pita (gyros) from a street-side grill: about €4-5.
A main course at a basic taverna, like moussaka or grilled fish: €10-15.
Look for souvlaki and gyros pita stands along the main pedestrian streets in Corfu Town, especially around the Liston and New Fortress area.
Lidl and local chains like AB Vassilopoulos or Galaxias are common for affordable groceries.
Affordable high-street shopping on Evgeniou Voulgareos street; markets like the daily fruit and spice market near the Old Port also sell accessories and textiles.
Walking is cheapest within Corfu Town. Bus day pass in town costs about €1.20 per ride; from the airport, take the blue bus line 15 into the centre for €1.10.
1. Eat where locals eat — avoid tourist-trap spots on the main square. 2. Buy fruit, bread and snacks from local markets rather than mini-markets. 3. Use cash for small purchases to avoid card fees.

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.
