What's the timezone history of Corfu?
Corfu observes Eastern European Time at UTC+2, switching to UTC+3 in summer following the EU DST schedule. The Ionian Islands' western position (Corfu sits at around 19.9 degrees east) makes wall time noticeably ahead of mean solar noon, producing earlier-feeling mornings and longer summer evenings than mainland Greek cities at the same wall-clock hour. Albania immediately east operates on Central European Time at UTC+1, so the short ferry crossing to Saranda crosses a one-hour time line.
What are the working hours in Corfu?
Tourism, olive oil production, and ferry services anchor the seasonal economy. The principal tourist season runs from May through October, with cruise ship arrivals at Corfu Port concentrated in summer months. The Easter celebrations in the old town, with elaborate processions and the traditional smashing of clay pots from balconies on Holy Saturday, are the most significant island cultural event and reshape commercial scheduling significantly. Off-season commercial hours contract substantially, with many beach hotels closed November through March.
Where is Corfu?
Corfu is the second-largest of the Ionian Islands, lying off the north-western coast of Greece directly opposite the Albanian shore. The island covers approximately 610 square kilometres with a permanent population around 100,000. Corfu town (Kerkyra) on the eastern coast holds the main settlement and a UNESCO-listed old town shaped by Venetian, French, and British occupation across the 14th to 19th centuries. The island's mountainous interior reaches 906 metres at Mount Pantokrator. The Corinth Canal between mainland Greece and the Peloponnese lies around 350 kilometres south.
