10Expect Traffic, Delays and a Slower Pace
August traffic can be heavy around Corfu Town, Paleokastritsa, Ipsos, Dassia, Sidari, Kavos and other popular destinations.
Journeys may take considerably longer than online maps suggest. Allow extra time when traveling to the airport, port, a booked excursion or a dinner reservation.
Restaurants, cafés, taxis, buses and rental companies are also under considerable pressure during the busiest weeks.
A little patience and good planning will make your holiday much more enjoyable. Corfu is at its best when visitors slow down rather than trying to see the entire island in only a few days.
Final Thoughts
Corfu in August is busy, hot and occasionally challenging, but it is also full of energy, music, religious traditions and unforgettable summer experiences. Visitors who book early, avoid the strongest heat, drive carefully and plan their parking will enjoy the island much more.
Do not try to rush from one famous attraction to another. Spend time at quieter beaches, visit a traditional village festival and allow yourself to experience Corfu at a slower and more relaxed pace.
