How expensive is Corfu?

I’m starting to look into Corfu for a possible trip and was curious how it compares cost-wise to other Greek islands. I’ve been hearing a lot lately about places like Santorini and Mykonos getting pretty expensive, especially in peak season, so I’m wondering if Corfu falls into that same category or if it’s a bit more reasonable.

From what I can tell so far, it seems like there might be a range depending on where you stay and when you go, but I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually been. Are accommodations and meals fairly affordable, or does it add up quickly?

From what I’ve experienced, Corfu is much more reasonable than places like Santorini or Mykonos, especially in peak season. Those two have become so popular that prices feel inflated across the board—hotels, meals, even basic things.

Corfu, on the other hand, is different. You can absolutely spend a lot if you go for upscale resorts, but there are plenty of mid-range hotels and apartments that are very fair. Food is where you really notice the difference, local tavernas are affordable, portions are generous, and you’re not constantly paying a premium for the view.

It does add up in July and August, like anywhere in Greece, but even then it’s more manageable. If you go in late May, June, or September, the value is even better.
