Averages for Corfu Town in August

By August, the average temperature in Corfu Town is up to 29°C. Like July, it only rains on average for one day of the month. It’s the perfect weather for families looking to get away from the UK during the school summer holidays.

If you’re visiting Corfu Town, the Achillion Palace in the village of Gastouri is a must see. This palace was built by the Empress Elisabeth of Austria as a retreat from the life of the Austrian Court and was later to feature in the Bond movie For Your Eyes Only.

The kids will love a trip to Aqualand. Billed as one of the most amazing and adventurous water parks in Europe, this adventure playground is the ideal way to cool off during the hot summer days.

Your holiday will not be complete unless you experience some traditional Greek dancing. Just 7 km to the south-west of Corfu Town is the Tripa Taverna. Here you’ll be guaranteed excellent food, followed by a display of dancing. As the evening goes on, diners get the chance to join in as well!

If you fancy a change from traditional Greek cuisine, why not check out the excellent Da Giovanni restaurant in the centre of town. As the name suggests, this is an Italian eating house run by a restaurateur from Naples.

During the school summer holidays, some families prefer to stay in self-catering apartments rather than a hotel. One good option would be the Folies Corfu town apartments. The complex even has a separate swimming pool for the kids so the adults can enjoy their swim in peace!

If the idea of cooking on holiday scares the life out of you, maybe the Hotel Ariti would be a better choice. This hotel is 4 km outside Corfu Town but the breath taking views and wide range of facilities will make the journey out of town well worth the effort.
