A propriedade — Alex Beach
The Alex Beach is a solid, no-fuss three-star on Corfu’s north-east coast, a short walk from the shingle beach of Dassia. Its main building and bungalows are set in mature gardens with a sizeable pool, and the vibe is relaxed, family-oriented, with a buffet restaurant and bar that feels more functional than flashy. It suits travellers wanting a reliable base with sea views and easy access to Corfu Town by bus, rather than boutique luxury or nightlife. Standing in the simple lobby, you smell the pool chlorine and hear the mix of British and German families sorting out keys and sun lounger towels.
Crónicas de Corfu
Corfu Town (Kerkyra) was founded in the 8th century BC by Corinthian Greeks and was later shaped by four centuries of Venetian rule, which left a legacy of tall, narrow streets, arcaded sidewalks, and the Old Fortress. The French and British followed briefly before the island united with Greece in 1864, blending neoclassical mansions with Byzantine churches and a distinctive Venetian-Gothic character. Today the Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, its two fortresses, the Liston promenade, and the Esplanade square forming a compact, walkable core that sees heavy cruise-ship traffic in summer. Contemporary Corfu is a confident mix of tourism, olive oil production, and a lively cultural calendar of music and theatre festivals.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Alex Beach, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor (floor 3 or above if the hotel has 4 floors) facing the rear courtyard or garden. The upper floors reduce street noise from the road, and the rear aspect avoids any bar or restaurant activity that might occur on the front street. Without a lift mentioned, top-floor rooms are quieter but require stairs.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor or floor 1 facing the street. These get the most traffic noise from the road, and footfall from the lobby and stairs. Also avoid any room directly above the entrance or near the staircase—these pick up sound from guests coming and going. No lift means early-morning luggage dragging on the stairs will be audible.
Best views
The best view at a 3-star hotel on a street in Corfu town or a main road is likely a side or rear view of the local surroundings (maybe hills, neighbouring buildings, or a small garden). Front rooms face the street—useful for people-watching but no sea view unless the hotel is right on the coast (not stated). Request a high-floor rear room for a quieter, slightly more open aspect.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and above are quieter. If the building has 4 floors, floor 3 is the best bet. Floor 4 (if it exists) might have noise from the roof or water tanks, so stick to floor 2-3.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise is the main issue—Corfu roads can be busy with scooters, cars, and delivery vans from early morning until late evening. If the hotel is on a main road or near a junction, expect traffic hum until 11pm. No lift means stair noise: guests dragging bags up/down will be audible on lower floors. Also check if there’s a bar or restaurant on the ground floor—if so, avoid rooms directly above it.
Insider tips
1. Since there’s no lift, request a room on floor 2 when booking—it’s a manageable climb but much quieter than floor 1 or ground. 2. Ask for a room at the rear of the building, away from the street. Most 3-star hotels on a road have a quieter side; the reception can usually accommodate this if you ask politely at check-in.
- 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

Principais atrações em 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.
