Final thoughts on Parking in Corfu Town

Visiting Corfu Town is absolutely worth it and is 100% easier if you do it by car (You can’t drink the tap water in Corfu so it’s a good idea to stock up on bottled water here!).

There are plenty of parking options from private to public so you should not struggle to find somewhere to leave your car.

However, in the peak summer months, I do recommend trying to find parking before mid-day as it can get busy.
