Luxury holidays in Corfu

When to go

Ah, the Mediterranean… temperatures in Corfu average around 25°C and rarely dip below 10°C, even in winter. May to October are the best months for visiting: the long summer months are milder than the Greek mainland, and the rest of the year tends to be a little wet.

Getting there

• Planes

  Catch a direct flight to Corfu International Airport from hubs across Europe, including London Gatwick and Luton.

• Boats

  Hop on a ferry for trips to mainland Greece and the other Greek islands: the journey to Igoumenitsa on the mainland takes around an hour, or you can sail further south to Paxi, Kefalonia or Patras.

• Automobiles

  Your own set of wheels is handy if you plan to explore the island, but the traffic (not to mention the laissez-faire attitude drivers take towards the Highway Code) means driving in Corfu Town can cause a bit of a headache.
