Corfu in the summer heat: stay cool and enjoy!

Corfu is a destination full of unforgettable experiences. From crystal-clear beaches and boating excursions to peaceful nature walks, the charming Old Town and its many historical and archaeological sites – every day on the island holds something special.

To fully enjoy all these wonderful activities, especially during periods of high temperatures, it’s important to keep a few helpful tips in mind.

Handy Tips for Hot Days:

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of cool water, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and sugary drinks that can lead to dehydration.
• Wear light clothing: Choose loose-fitting, light-colored clothes made of cotton or linen, and don’t forget your hat and sunglasses.
• Use sunscreen: Apply high-SPF sunscreen regularly, especially after swimming or sweating.
• Avoid direct sun exposure during midday hours (11:00–16:00), when temperatures and UV radiation are at their peak.
• Find cool and shaded spots: While exploring the island, take regular breaks in shaded areas to rest and cool down.

Follow Local Authorities' Announcements:

During heatwaves, some archaeological sites may close temporarily for visitor safety. Always check for updates before visiting.

There may also be access restrictions in natural areas (forests, hiking trails, etc.) due to increased wildfire risk. Respect these measures for your safety and the protection of Corfu’s nature.
