Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit the island of Corfu is during the spring (April to early June) and autumn (September to October). During these months, the weather is pleasant with warm temperatures and less humidity compared to the peak summer months. Spring brings blooming flowers and lush landscapes, while autumn showcases vibrant colours and is ideal for outdoor activities. Also, visiting during these shoulder seasons allows you to avoid the large crowds present during the summer peak. However, if you prefer hot weather and bustling beach scenes, the summer months of July and August are the peak tourist season, but it can get quite crowded and hot during this time.

Passport / Visa

Passport / Visa

Greece can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travellers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

Tourist Traps

Tourist Traps

The most common tourist trap on Corfu is overly-expensive taxi rides. Therefore, it's a good idea to insist that all fares are shown on the metre. Some restaurants overcharge on the bill so, it's generally a good idea to check your bill before you pay the amount requested.
