In summer, Corfu's where the action is. Temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C mean that it's all about the beach life. Whether you want to splash in the waves or chill with a cool drink by the shore, summer's the season to get your sun on.
Spring's a bit more laid-back, but no less fun. With temps sitting pretty at 17°C to 24°C, it's the ideal time for a leisurely stroll through Corfu's charming streets. Plus, no hustle and bustle of the peak tourist season to deal with. Winner.
And let's not forget autumn. Still pretty decent at 15°C to 24°C, but with a more relaxed vibe. Fewer crowds and plenty of time to explore at your own pace. And, still warm enough to eat your lunch on the beach... mostly.
Even winter's got its charms in Corfu. The temperatures drop down to a mild 12°C to 16°C, which is definitely still better than the minus temps of the UK. Less snow too. Definitely good.
