I always need to catch at least one museum on my way out of Greece. The history is just too rich! Where should I go to in Corfu?
 
Here are a few museums that I have heard about located on the island of Corfu, Greece (in no particular order):

- Acharavi Folklore Museum
- Byzantine Museum
- Acharavi Folklore Museum

There are some of the museums that I have heard of, can anyone else recommend any other good ones to visit?
 
I love the museums in Greece! So much history and culture. Here are some options:

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?

What is Corfu like in September?

I’ve been thinking about visiting Corfu in September instead of the middle of summer, and I was curious what it’s actually like that time of year. I’ve heard mixed things from people. Some say September is the perfect balance because the weather is still warm but the crowds start to calm down a bit, while others say certain places begin slowing down after August.

For anyone who has been there in September, how was your experience? Was the water still warm enough for swimming? Were restaurants, beach bars, and boat tours still operating normally? I’m also wondering if the island still feels lively or if it becomes noticeably quieter.

I’d probably be going sometime in the first half of September if I do go. Would you recommend it over July or August? Any advice or experiences would really help while I’m trying to plan.

Favorite Walks Around Corfu Town

I might end up going to Corfu on a future trip to Greece, and Corfu Town looks like the kind of place that would be great to explore on foot.

One of my favorite things to do when visiting somewhere new is simply walk around and see what I come across. I love to explore!

So I’m curious, what are some of your favorite walks around Corfu Town? Are there particular streets, routes, or areas that you especially enjoyed wandering through? I’d love to hear about any spots that make for a really nice walk.

What made you fall in love with Corfu?

Those of you who have been to Corfu, I am curious. What made you fall in love with it? My wife and I are thinking of going. We love the Greek culture and Greece and have never been. I've been experimenting cooking Greek food. We love to go out for Greek food!

Goal is to do a food tour of Greece, but Corfu really catches our eye as a great destination. I would love to hear what you think of it. We want to experience the culture! We have at least 3 nights to spend there before we move on to somewhere else in Greece.

Is the New Fortress Worth the Climb?

I’m planning a trip to Corfu and trying to decide which sights in Corfu Town are really worth making time for. The New Fortress keeps coming up, but I’m wondering how much of a climb it actually is and whether the views at the top make it worthwhile.

For anyone who has visited, how strenuous did you find it? I don’t mind walking, but if it’s a long uphill climb in the heat, I’d probably want to plan it for earlier in the day.

I’m especially interested in the views over Corfu Town, the harbor, and the surrounding area. Is there much to see inside the fortress itself, or is the main appeal the scenery and history?

Would you recommend visiting the New Fortress if I only have limited time in Corfu Town, or are there other sights you would prioritize first?
