A 10-day trip to Corfu, Greece

Venetian fortresses, dense olive groves, and dramatic limestone coves in the Ionian Sea.

Corfu (Kerkyra) is distinct from the whitewashed, barren Cyclades: it is lush, green, and steeped in Venetian, French, and British colonial history. The UNESCO-listed Old Town pairs Italianate pastel facades with imposing coastal bastions, while the island's coastline alternates between tranquil northeastern pebble bays and dramatic western limestone cliffs.

Trip length

10 days

Best time to go

Late May to June or September to early October for warm swimmable waters without peak summer road congestion.

What your 10-day plan includes

  • A day-by-day itinerary with neighborhoods clustered so you spend less time in transit.
  • Real budget awareness — a target, an estimate, and a status you can dial up or down.
  • Recommendations shaped by your pace, food priorities, group, and must-dos.
  • Swap anything, improve any day, refine in any direction without starting over.

How to plan 10 days in Corfu, Greece

  • Dedicate your first two days to Corfu Old Town on foot before picking up a rental car, eliminating parking headaches in the historic quarter.
  • Rent a 30-horsepower motorboat (no marine license required) in Kassiopi or Paleokastritsa to reach secluded pebble coves that are inaccessible by road.
  • Do not try to combine the clifftop hike of Porto Timoni and a drive around Cape Drastis with an Old Town evening on the same day; mountain roads will exhaust your travel time.
  • Pair a longer Corfu trip with a foot-passenger ferry day trip to Paxos and Antipaxos, departing from the southern port of Lefkimmi or Corfu Town.
  • Reserve tables at least 3 to 5 days ahead during summer for coveted tavernas in Corfu Old Town, particularly around the Campiello quarter.
