Climate
Corfu has something special to offer in every season: April, May, September and October are the perfect months for hiking or rambling along the coast or amongst the extensive olive groves. The beach season begins in May and extends well into October.

In the height of summer, arrange your excursions for the morning and evening hours, enjoy a relaxing snooze somewhere in a shady nook around midday - like the Greeks do ? and soak up the magic of a balmy summer?s night with a fine glass of Greek wine.
