Overview
Mid-September is the sweet spot for the Greek islands: peak summer school holiday crowds have cleared out, the Aegean/Ionian sea is at its warmest bath-like temperature, and daytime highs sit around 26°C. While this stay is simple and no-frills, it is spotless, self-catering, and literally opens out onto the beach. It gives you an affordable base to soak up the sun, swim, rent a boat or quad bike, and eat fresh gyros and seafood by the water.
Top Things to Do
- Beachfront Lounging: Walk straight out of your apartment onto the sand without paying resort day-pass fees.
- Boat Trip to Paxos & Antipaxos: Take a day boat cruise from southern Corfu to swim in the electric-blue waters of Antipaxos and explore sea caves.
- Authentic Greek Tavernas: Grab fresh chicken/pork gyros wraps for under £4, or sit down for grilled sea bass and Greek salads overlooking the water.
- Visit Corfu Old Town: If renting a car or taking the green bus, explore the UNESCO-listed Venetian fortress and narrow cobblestone alleys before heading home.
