Ways to save
- Visit in the shoulder seasons (May-June or September-October) for hotel rates around €50-80/night compared to peak season rates of €100-150+.
- Stay in budget-friendly guesthouses or apartments in areas like Corfu Town or Sidari, often costing €40-70/night versus €100+ for resorts.
- Eat at local tavernas and bakeries, where a main course can cost €8-15 and a pastry with coffee around €5, saving significantly over tourist trap restaurants where meals are €20-35+.
- Buy groceries from local markets like the one in Corfu Town for snacks and some meals, cutting down on restaurant expenses. A week's worth of basic groceries can be around €30-50 per person.
- Utilize the public bus system (KTEL) for transportation between towns and beaches. A single ticket costs around €1.50-€3.50, much cheaper than taxis which can range from €20-50 per ride.
- Explore free attractions such as the historic Old Town of Corfu (a UNESCO World Heritage site), enjoying the architecture and atmosphere without cost.
- Spend time at the numerous free beaches like Paleokastritsa or Glyfada, avoiding paid beach clubs unless specifically desired, saving €10-20+ on sunbed rentals.
- Consider renting a scooter or ATV for around €15-25 per day for flexible exploration, which can be more cost-effective than multiple bus tickets for extensive touring if shared by two people.
- Drink local retsina or house wine at tavernas for €3-5 per glass/carafe, instead of more expensive imported beers or cocktails at €7-12+.
- Take advantage of free walking tours if available, or create your own self-guided tour of historical sites, saving on guided tour costs of €20-40.
