Unlike the stark and often treeless islands of the Aegean, Corfu is covered with luxuriant vegetation, thanks to its winter rainfall - 240mm average in December - and is the wettest place in all of Greece. Tropical orchids, wildflowers, eucalyptus and acacias combine with northern European greenery such as oaks and maples. Despite its lush vegetation and high precipitation, Corfu can be stiflingly hot and muggy, as the humidity-reducing meltemi wind passes it by. To compensate, winters are less severe than on the mainland.
Spring and autumn are the best times to visit Corfu. Conditions are perfect between Easter and mid-June - the weather is pleasantly warm in most places, but not too hot. Beaches are relatively uncrowded and accommodation is cheaper and easier to find than in the mid-June to end of August high season. Conditions are once more ideal from the end of August until mid-October as the season winds down.

The weather in Corfu in the winter can be very pleasant. Occasionally, on this beautiful island we experience periods of high temperatures, which we call “small summers”. Take time for a nice walk or a cycle, you may even have a lazy day on the beach.Winter is also the time for the olive harvest. From November until the end of March the olives are plucked and at the end of every day’s harvest they are immediately crushed. This way you secure the highest quality olive oil. It is a lovely experience to witness the olive harvest or beter still to join in on this adventure.
