Corfu gained its popularity due to its mildand pleasant climate. Tourists are happy to spend their holidays here. In the summer, the island has all the conditions for rest, there is almost no rain, which means you can safely enjoy the wonderful weather. Sea breeze well smoothes the summer heat, so being on the island is a pleasure. Here, even those to whom the heat is simply contraindicated can spend their holidays. In particular, this applies to pensioners and children. There will be no health problems that may be significantly affected by fever. Compared to other Greek islands, the beach season in Corfu comes later, but this does not affect the island’s popularity. The hottest month here is July, the air temperature reaches +28 aboutC. But at this temperature the sea remains cool and fresh, its temperature does not exceed 22 degrees. Due to such weather conditions, the island has become a popular tourist destination.
If in July you can relax by the sea, then May and Junehere you can devote to spiritual enrichment. Of course, you can also buy, but the air temperature is not too high at this time, so the weather conditions are more conducive to walks in parks and other attractions. As for the latter, there are quite a lot of them. Archeological excavations are especially active in Corfu. One can observe and even take part in this action.
The best time to travel to Corfu
If the tourist intends to go only to the sea andrest under the sound of the surf, it is best to carry out his plan in July. This is the warmest month of the year. The water is warm enough, sometimes it reaches a peak temperature - 25 degrees. This is a very comfortable indicator, even small children can swim in such water.
August is not the best month for a quiet andmeasured rest. On the island full house, during this period, the maximum number of tourists come here. Prices during this period are rising quite significantly, even plane tickets are becoming more expensive. If a tourist has no financial restrictions, he can choose August for rest, and in order to save, it is better to come in July.
The best period for rest isSeptember. The fact is that the flow of tourists is significantly reduced, working days begin, children go to school and so on. At the beginning of September, prices are falling noticeably, rest becomes affordable, but at the same time it is not inferior to August in its comfort. The sea remains the same warm, and the hotels will be happy to welcome guests and even make discounts. But in the second half of September it is not recommended to go to Corfu: the weather begins to fall, and it is very difficult to guess whether it will be warm or the rainy season begins. Therefore, in order to have a comfortable and budget holiday, it is better to go to the island in the first half of September. A trip with young children is also better to postpone for this period. A pleasant climate, a small number of tourists - this is exactly what your baby needs.
Well, having arrived on the island, it is necessary to settle down somewhere, and, of course, I want to choose a worthy place. Such a place could be the hotel Gelina Village Hotel Resort Spa 4 *.
Description of the complex
Отель расположен недалеко от центра, но добраться walking to him will not work. The path from the center to the hotel is 35 kilometers.

General reviews
The journey from the airport to the hotel takes about an hour.riding a bus through the mountains. Upon arrival, you can go to breakfast, and you can immediately check in. Despite the fact that the hotel is large enough, sometimes you have to wait for the guests to leave the pre-booked room. Such a problem, judging by the reviews, occurs in almost all those who reserve a two-room apartment. Pre guests are settled in single rooms.
But for this inconvenience the hotel administrationoffers quite a decent compensation. Guests say that you can use the safe for free, change towels, dine at the water park and at any time visit the fish restaurant.
Building with two-bedroom apartments located between the main building and the beach. From the windows there is a picturesque view of the eucalyptus park, from where the healing aroma comes.
And one more important nuance. It is better not to keep food in the room: ants start up very quickly.

Sea and beach
The coast, according to tourists, is simply wonderful.The entrance to the sea is shallow, which, again, pleases parents with children. At the bottom of the soft sand. There are several entrances to the beach: through a huge slab, over rocks or along the sand near the Pirate Bar. In the sea there is no jellyfish, no dead fish, no nasty algae. During the storm this, of course, can not be avoided.
Food
Отель работает по системе «все включено».There is an incredible amount of food here, but the queues are also huge. For dinner it is better to come on time. Then you can find a table, and all dishes will be available. If you are late, you can long stand in line at the table, and then for a meal. For dinner, seasoned tourists recommend going to a fish restaurant. Here, however, serves quite monotonous seafood dishes. But you can avoid the noise, hustle and hungry neighbors. In the assortment there are always squid, fish soups, mussels with sauce, small fish in the form of chips. Serve here and fruit. Those who are few can go to the supermarket located near the hotel and buy everything they want there.

The hotel has a zoo.Children love to visit it and feed funny animals, which, by the way, are just crazy about all visitors. They meet holidaymakers with joyful screams, who as best they can.

Minuses
- Not very convenient hotel location.The complex is located in the northernmost part of the island, right on the beach. Other hotels are located among the bays and cliffs, which looks more exotic. Get far to main attractions and to the airport. With small children go on a tour is almost impossible: everything is very far away.
- The local beach is considered the longest on Corfu.The sand here is mixed with sharp pebbles, about which you can easily injure your feet. Children to the sea have to carry on their hands. The beach is not very well maintained and, apart from the sea, there is nothing to look at. The landscape is not particularly impressive.
- In the restaurant, you can sometimes see dirty appliances. But, fortunately, cases of poisoning and infection were not observed.
