With glittering waters, romantic old towns, and green hills rolling to the sea, Corfu is pure Ionian magic.
Corfu is one of Greece’s most enchanting islands, famed for its dramatic coastline, cypress-dotted hills, and Venetian-influenced old towns. The island’s blend of Greek, Italian, and French influences has shaped a rich culture, unique cuisine, and a timeless atmosphere that makes it feel both authentically Greek and distinctly European.
Whether you’re wandering the cobbled streets of Corfu Town, relaxing in a luxury beach resort, or hiking along olive groves that spill down to the sea, the island offers a mix of relaxation and adventure. With a coastline full of hidden bays and a lively food and wine scene, Corfu is an island that rewards slow exploration.
Start with Corfu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where pastel-hued mansions, fortress views, and winding alleys offer endless charm. The Liston promenade is perfect for people-watching with a coffee, while the old fortresses reveal the island’s layered history.
Beyond the town, you’ll find sandy beaches like Paleokastritsa, known for its turquoise waters, and the dramatic cliffs of Cape Drastis. Explore Achilleion Palace, built for Empress Elisabeth of Austria, or take a boat trip to nearby Paxos and Antipaxos for crystal-clear lagoons.
Corfu enjoys a classic Mediterranean climate, with long, hot summers and mild, green winters. July and August bring plenty of sunshine and warm seas, perfect for beach days, while spring and autumn are ideal for hiking and exploring without the crowds.
Rain is most common between November and February, giving the island its lush greenery year-round. By April, temperatures rise into the low 20s°C, with peak summer highs averaging 31°C. Sea temperatures stay warm well into October, making Corfu a great late-season escape.
