A little wanderlust, well planned

Corfu holidaysMade for you.

Corfu can be an old-town stay, a coastal holiday or a mix of the two, depending on your base. The island's villages and beaches are not all a short walk apart, so choose the atmosphere you want first. Keep room for everyday coastal time rather than driving to a new stop each morning.

A few things worth slowing down for

A little of what makes Corfu, Corfu

01

Corfu old town

Explore a compact route through streets and squares.

02

Coastal downtime

Choose one base with suitable beach access.

03

Village outing

Add a nearby village rather than a long island circuit.

04

Island meals

Make time for local dining without a daily drive to another area.

A base that feels right

Check local transport for your chosen base and any evening return journey. Car hire may help with dispersed places, but roads and parking still take time. Compare beach access, nearby dining and the specific arrival transfer before choosing accommodation.

Source, calculation and coverage

Modelled regional climate averages, not a forecast or station reading. Monthly precipitation is estimated from the source mean daily rate multiplied by the mean calendar-month length over 2001–2020. Precipitation includes rain and snow water equivalent. Cloud cover is not sunshine duration. No snowfall or sunshine-hour estimates are inferred. For islands and regions, local conditions can differ substantially between coast and higher ground.
