The Property — Perros apartments
Perros Apartments is a straightforward, family-run complex of self-catering studios and one-bedroom flats in the budget corner of Corfu’s east coast. The vibe is relaxed and practical: a whitewashed three-storey block set in a tidy garden, with a small pool at the centre and a communal barbecue area where guests swap tips over grilled souvlaki. It suits independent travellers and young families who want affordable, clean digs within walking distance of Gouvia beach and the main strip of tavernas and mini-markets. Standing in the small lobby, you’ll notice the laminated noticeboard pinned with bus timetables, a stack of beach mats, and the faint smell of suncream from the pool terrace.
Cronache di Corfu
Corfu Town’s history is a layered story of Venetian, French and British rule, each leaving a distinct mark on the architecture and culture. The Venetians fortified the Old Citadel and built the elegant Liston arcade (modelled on Rue de Rivoli), while the British introduced the Ionian Academy and the cricket pitch on the Spianada. The city’s UNESCO-listed Old Town is a labyrinth of narrow kantoúnia (alleys), pastel-washed palazzos and hidden churches, shaped by centuries of trade and sieges. Today, Corfu balances its heritage with a vibrant café-and-boutique scene, drawing visitors for its music festivals, olive oil and the lingering influence of the Durrell family’s literary legacy.
Best Time to Visit
Guida completa di Corfu →Best months
May, June and September offer warm, settled weather (mid-20s °C) with fewer crowds, cheaper flights and quieter beaches. The sea is swimmable from late May, and the island’s lush green hills are still in bloom.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest, with temperatures topping 33°C, full beaches and packed ferry ports. Corfu Town’s major festivals include the Corfu Festival (classical music, July–August) and the Feast of the Virgin Mary (15 August). Hotel prices double or triple from June levels, and apartments like Perros are often booked solid by March.
Budget shoulder season
Late April, early May and mid- to late October are the best budget shoulder months. You’ll get lower rates (roughly 30-40% off peak), sunny days but cooler evenings, and emptier sites like the Old Fortress and Achilleion Palace.
Weather & packing
Corfu can be humid in July, with occasional short, heavy thunderstorms that blow in from the Ionian Sea. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket or an umbrella even for high summer, and bring closed-toe shoes for the Old Town’s smooth, often slippery marble streets.

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.
