Springtime in Corfu

Wed, 9th Apr 2025

This enchanting season transforms the island into a paradise of blossoming flowers, lush greenery, and warm, sunny days. With nature in full bloom and the unique Easter traditions, the island takes on an air of renewal, making it the perfect time not only to enjoy its beauty but also to explore the possibilities of making Corfu your home.

For those considering making Corfu their permanent home or investing in a holiday retreat, spring offers a glimpse into the essence of life on the island. The streets are lively but not crowded, the beaches are peaceful and welcoming, and the local markets getting ready for Easter overflow with fresh produce and traditional delicacies. It's a time when the island feels most authentic, inviting newcomers to embrace its rhythm of life.

Corfu Garden Festival

One of the highlights of spring in Corfu is the Corfu Garden Festival, an event that brings together garden enthusiasts, artists, and nature lovers from all over. We are big fans of this event and make it a tradition to visit every year! The festival showcases the island's most beautiful gardens, offering interesting workshops, expert talks, and plenty of inspiration for those who love nature. This year, we are especially excited because our colleagues Sarah and Christina will be showcasing their gardens, featuring a stunning blend of native Corfiot plants and creative landscaping ideas. We invite all our readers, clients, and friends to visit the festival and experience the breathtaking gardens. It's a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in Corfu's natural beauty and get inspiration for your own outdoor space.

Easter

Spring in our island wouldn't be complete without Greek Easter - the most spectacular and deeply rooted tradition. Corfu's Easter celebrations are renowned throughout Greece for their unique blend of Orthodox rituals, Venetian influences, and vibrant local customs. From the heart-touching Holy Week processions to the dramatic "botides" tradition where clay pots are thrown from balconies on Holy Saturday to symbolise renewal - it's a breathtaking experience. The island is alive with the music of philharmonic bands and festive gatherings where families and friends come together to celebrate. For those considering making Corfu their home, experiencing Easter here is a true insight into the island's rich culture and warm community spirit.
