Wander through a maze of narrow cobblestone streets, pastel-coloured Venetian buildings and lively traditional squares in Corfu's historic centre, listed by UNESCO as the Old Town of Corfu. Explore the elegant Liston promenade, browse local boutiques and stop at a café to experience the island's blend of Greek, Venetian and French influences. Visit early in the morning to enjoy quieter streets and take photographs without the midday crowds.

The Achilleion is a 19th-century palace built for Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known as Sisi, and later owned by German Emperor Wilhelm II. Its gardens are known for statues inspired by Greek mythology, including the famous Dying Achilles. The palace building is currently closed for a long-term restoration, and only the gardens have opened to visitors in recent seasons, so check what is open before you go.

Visit one of Corfu's best-known coastal areas, where green hills frame turquoise bays and rocky coves. Explore the historic Monastery of Paleokastritsa, perched above the sea, before spending time swimming, snorkelling or taking a boat trip to nearby sea caves. Arrive early in summer to find parking more easily and enjoy the beaches before they become busy.

Explore a stretch of coastline with pale sandstone cliffs, narrow channels and rock formations shaped by wind and waves. The small coves and clear water make this area a popular stop for swimming and coastal photography when sea conditions permit. Check the sea conditions before entering the water, as currents and waves can make swimming unsafe.

Step inside one of Corfu Town's most impressive historic fortifications, built up by the Venetians to defend the island against invasions. Walk along its ramparts, explore the grounds and enjoy sweeping views across Corfu Town and the Ionian Sea. Visit in the late afternoon for softer light, pleasant walking conditions and harbour views.

Climb to the ruins of this Byzantine fortress, perched high on a rocky headland overlooking Corfu's west coast near Paleokastritsa. The historic remains, rugged cliffs and wide sea views show why this stronghold was so important to the island's defence. Wear sturdy walking shoes for the steep, uneven approach and bring water, especially during warmer months.

Explore this neoclassical villa set within parkland near Corfu Town, historically associated with the Greek royal family and the birthplace of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Discover the building's history and enjoy a walk beneath the surrounding trees, with archaeological remains and garden paths adding to the experience. Allow extra time to explore the grounds rather than visiting only the palace building.

Pontikonisi is a tiny, tree-covered island with a small Byzantine chapel, just off the Kanoni peninsula. In front of it, the white Vlacherna Monastery sits on a narrow causeway, and the two together are one of Corfu's best-known views. From Kanoni you can also watch aircraft approach Corfu International Airport over the water, and sunset is a popular time to visit.

Corfu Airport is on the edge of Corfu Town, so the island capital is only a short drive away. Most resorts are on the north, east and west coasts, and transfer times depend on the winding coastal roads.

Journey times are approximate and depend on traffic, the season and the number of hotel stops on a shared shuttle.
Shared shuttle transfers: These are the lowest-cost option for a pre-booked transfer. They stop at several hotels, which adds time for resorts in the north and south of the island.
Private transfers: These take you straight to your hotel. They usually cost more, but for families and groups a private transfer can work out at a similar price per person to a shuttle.
Public buses: Local buses run between the airport area and Corfu Town. Green KTEL buses then connect Corfu Town with the main resorts, but timetables may not suit late-evening arrivals.
Taxis: Taxis wait outside the terminal. Check or agree the fare before you set off, especially for longer journeys to Kassiopi, Sidari or Kavos.
If you would like a transfer arranged, ask for available transfer options to be priced alongside your flight or holiday quote.
A family holiday to Corfu in the school summer holidays can be a big cost to pay in one go. TravelApp UK offers several ways to pay for eligible bookings.
Fly Now Pay Later: Secure your booking with a deposit and pay the balance in agreed instalments before you travel.
Instalment plans: Spread the cost of your flights or holiday over a payment schedule agreed with the team.
Klarna: Pay with Klarna where it is available for your booking, and split the cost into smaller payments.
Payment options depend on the fare, the airline's ticketing rules, the type of booking and how far ahead you travel. Klarna is subject to its own eligibility checks, and missed payments can affect your ability to use Klarna and your credit score. If an instalment is missed, your booking may be cancelled, so make sure the payment dates suit your budget.
The team will confirm the deposit, payment dates and total cost before you book, and the TravelApp booking conditions explain how deposits, payments and cancellations work.
Ask about payment options for your trip.
Flight comparison websites are useful for checking fares, but they usually show a flight-only price. Checked baggage, seat selection and the transfer to your resort are often added later, either at checkout or in separate bookings. For a family week in Corfu with a suitcase each, the price you first saw can rise noticeably.

Seasonal schedule changes: Airlines sometimes change or cancel seasonal island flights. If you booked your flight and hotel separately, a flight change can leave you dealing with the airline and the hotel on your own. With a package, one organiser is responsible for the whole holiday and must help when part of it changes.
ATOL protection: ATOL protection applies to qualifying package holidays and flight-inclusive bookings. It does not cover every standalone flight or hotel. The Civil Aviation Authority explains what ATOL covers. Ask the team whether your booking is ATOL protected before you pay.
Packages: To combine flights, a hotel and transfers, browse holiday packages from the UK or ask the team to price a flight and hotel together for your resort.
Travel at the start or end of the season. July and August are the busiest and usually the most expensive months. May, June, September and early October often give more choice of flights, with warm weather and fewer crowds.
Avoid the school holiday peak. Fares usually rise over the summer holidays and May half term. If you are not tied to school dates, comparing other weeks may give you more options.
Compare more than one airport. With so many UK airports flying to Corfu, a nearby airport may fly on a better day or at a better time. Include the cost of getting to the airport and parking.
Price the full trip. Low-cost fares often include only a small under-seat bag. Check the hand luggage rules for UK airlines, then add hold luggage and your transfer before comparing totals. The best budget airlines for UK travellers can work out differently once seats and bags are added.
Check late availability. Outside school holidays, last-minute flight deals can appear, although they are less reliable in peak summer.
Planning around half term or the summer holidays? Contact Us and the team can check availability across several dates.
With six airlines and more than 15 UK airports flying direct to Corfu in summer, the right flight depends on where you live, when you can travel, how much luggage you need and where you are staying. A late arrival is easy if you are staying near Corfu Town, but less convenient for an hour-long transfer to Kassiopi or Kavos.
To get help comparing the options, send the team your travel details, including:
Departure airport: Your nearest airport, plus any others you would consider.
Dates: Your preferred dates and how flexible they are.
Baggage: How many cabin and hold bags each traveller needs.
Resort: Where you are staying, so the arrival time and transfer can be planned together.
Payment: Whether you would like to pay in instalments, with Klarna or with Fly Now Pay Later.
The team will come back with available flights for your dates. Where it suits your trip, they can also suggest hotel and transfer options. What each quote includes, such as hold luggage or transfers, depends on the fare and the options you choose, so check the details before you confirm. TravelApp UK is an ATOL holder, and eligible flight bookings receive an ATOL Certificate.
For a quick question before you send an enquiry, you can also get in touch with the team by phone or email.
Send the team your departure airport, travel dates, number of travellers, baggage needs and resort. They will quote flights, transfers and hotel options together, with ATOL protection on eligible bookings and instalment, Klarna or Fly Now Pay Later options where available. Fares and seat availability change, so a quote reflects the prices on the day it is issued.

Greece is two hours ahead of the UK all year, as both countries change their clocks on the same dates.
Greece uses the euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted in hotels and restaurants, but some cash is useful for buses, kiosks and smaller tavernas.
Greek is the official language. English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants and the main resorts.
Green KTEL buses link Corfu Town with the main resorts, and taxis are available across the island. Car hire is popular for exploring, but many roads are narrow and winding.
Summers are hot and sunny. Corfu is greener than many Greek islands because it gets more rain in autumn and winter, and many resort hotels close from November to April.
Greek hotels and holiday rentals charge a nightly climate resilience fee, which is usually paid locally at check-out and may not be included in the booking price.
These differ by airline and fare. Check cabin and hold luggage limits before you book, especially on low-cost fares.
You can arrange seats, hold luggage, transfers, car hire and boat trips before you travel. Arrange travel insurance for your trip when you book.
