Visiting Corfu in early October
Early October is an excellent time to visit Corfu. The weather is usually mild and pleasant, with daytime temperatures commonly around 15-25 °C, although occasional rain showers are possible. We recommend bringing light layers, a light waterproof jacket and umbrella, and comfortable walking shoes.
Corfu Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with narrow cobbled streets, uneven surfaces, and several pedestrian areas. The city centre is compact and highly walkable, while local buses and taxis are available for journeys beyond it. Please allow extra time for movement around the town, especially during busy periods.
