What is the best time to visit Kontokali
Kontokali enjoys that lush Ionian climate, which means plenty of sunshine to keep the greenery popping and the tan topping up. Here is how the year looks:
Spring - the island is at its greenest and temps sit in the pleasant low 20s, making it the perfect time for hiking to Danilia Village without the humidity.
Summer - expect it to be scorchio and humid with highs of 30°C+, bringing a lively buzz that demands all-day pool sessions and cold drinks by the marina.
Autumn - the summer crowds disperse and the air cools, but the sea remains bath-warm, offering a chilled-out vibe for those who want a relaxing dip.
Winter - it can be a bit rainy (which keeps it lush), but it’s mild and super quiet, giving you a chance to see the authentic, local side of Corfu Town nearby.
