PRACTICAL TIPS FOR YOUR CORFU HOLIDAYS
You come to Corfu for sunshine, sea, and that easy island feeling.
This guide helps you plan your days, choose the right areas, and avoid common summer mistakes.
So your Corfu holidays feel relaxed from the first hour to the last.
START SMART
Plan Your Corfu Holidays Like a Local
Corfu is bigger than most people expect. The north feels wild and green, the west has dramatic beaches, the east is calmer, and Corfu Town ties everything together.
If you plan with distance, timing, and your travel style in mind, your holiday becomes easier, cheaper, and more enjoyable.
And for those who search for cheap holidays to Corfu, planning early matters even more in summer. You avoid last minute prices, you waste less time in queues, and you spend more of your budget on experiences instead of problems.
Explore Corfu Your Way
Corfu holidays are at their best when you mix beach time with villages, viewpoints, and Corfu Town. These tour options help you explore different sides of the island without losing a full day to figuring out routes.
Arrive Calm, Even in Peak Summer
Flights land close together, roads get crowded, and popular areas move slowly at certain hours.
Corfu International Airport is called Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport and its code is CFU, very close to Corfu Town, which is helpful, but peak arrivals can still feel hectic.
Plan arrival and departure times around traffic peaks
Keep water and light snacks ready after landing
Choose your base area based on the places you will visit most
Leave extra time for Corfu Town in the evening
Confirm luggage needs before any long day trip

What Travelers Say About Us
We had Corfu Union take us to Paleokastritsa Bay during our Cruise port stop at Corfu. Amazing experience and everything we could have hoped for. Michael, our driver, was a delight. We enjoyed hearing about Corfu and Greece from him and he did an excellent job recommended various spots at the bay. The company was easy to communicate with and prices were reasonable. Overall this was a highlight of our cruise. Highly recommended.
We had a great experience with Vangelis with Corfu Union Transfers and Tours. He worked out a great price for us to create a shuttle for our wedding guests. He was extremely responsive by WhatsApp and further helped us with drivers to and from the airport. The drivers were professional, nice, and dressed sharp. I would recommend them to everyone!
We had an amazing tour of the island, we started at the acheillion, then onto corfu town to the old fort and the liston. Onto Paleokastritsa which is absolutely beautiful and to see the monastery. Fantastic views, we drove up the mountain to the viewing point, then onto the olive oil museum who make the most amazing products from olives. Our driver Maria was wonderful, knowledge and very professional.
Choose a Base That Matches Your Holiday Style
North Corfu for green landscapes, cliffs, and quieter beaches.
South Corfu for long sandy beaches and relaxed family areas.
East Corfu for calmer water, easy access, and boat trips.
West Corfu for dramatic scenery, sunsets, and open sea views.
Avoid These Common Corfu Holiday Mistakes
Staying far away without thinking about travel time.
Waiting until you arrive to organize transport.
Trying to do north and south in one day.
Extra practical note:
If you want to explore on a budget, the Green Buses are a real option. They connect Corfu Town with many parts of the island, but have in mind that in summer timing and convenience can vary and the roads are always busy so routes might delay.
