When picking a hotel in Corfu, the location is crucial. This will determine if you need a car, what sites nearby you will have, and what kind of ambiance you want.
So I have divided the options into 4 locations, in each offering budget-friendly, medium, and luxury options. I will also comment a bit on each location.
I personally think these 4 locations are the best picks when considering hotels in Corfu:
Corfu Old Town
Dassia
Agios Georgios Beach Cove
Paleokastritsa Area
At the end, I will also cover a few hotels to highlight outside the above 4 areas.
