Corfu
Green, lush, family-friendly. Wettest Greek island in shoulder seasons — but that's why it's so green.
A decent stretch with some sun and a chance of a shower.
Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.The Ionian escapes the meltemi — calmer waters, softer shoulder season. The same Ionian sea recorded the Mediterranean's highest-ever surface temperature (29.5°C, 16 Aug 2024). Wettest Greek island in shoulder seasons — that's why it's so green. October still warm enough to swim if you're patient.
