🌞 What is the best time to go on your Corfu holidays?

Known as the "Emerald Island," Corfu stays lush and green year-round thanks to its wetter winters. But don't worry, the summers are still gonna turn that temp dial up to sizzle. Whether you want to roast on a sunbed in Kavos or hike the trails when the wildflowers are out, there’s a perfect time to book and we know when... okay, fine, we'll tell you:

  • Spring - the island is exploding with colour and temps sit in the comfortable low-to-mid 20s. It’s arguably the best time to visit, especially if you can catch the famous Greek Easter celebrations (watch out for the flying clay pots in Corfu Town!).

  • Summer - it’s sizzling hot with highs of 30°C+ and the sun is beaming. The beaches are buzzing, the nightlife in Kavos is popping off, and the sea is perfect for cooling down.

  • Autumn - a top-tier choice for couples. The sea is still like a warm bath after the long summer, but the intense heat has dropped, making it perfect for exploring the Old Town without breaking a sweat.

  • Winter - it’s the wettest season (hence why the island is so green), but with highs of 15°C, it’s still mild compared to the UK. A great time for hiking the Corfu Trail in total peace.

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 still packs a thermometer-climbing shaped punch. 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.

We can't 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 charm for a Corfu holiday. The temperatures drop down to a mild 12°C to 16°C, which is definitely still better than the minus temps back home. Less snow too. We reckon that's all the ingredients for a successful slice of jolly pie.
