What should I pack for a holiday to Corfu in July?
July in Corfu is one of the hottest months, so when packing for your holiday, be sure to bring your most summer-ready clothing. Pack shorts, t-shirts, and airy dresses made from cooling materials (natural linen for example), and comfortable sandals or flip flops to explore the island in style.
While the chances of rain are minimal, it's wise to pack a lightweight raincoat, just in case of the predicted 1 day of rain for July. Even if it does rain, the temperatures should still hover around 30 degrees Celsius, so you'll still be warm and won't feel like layering up any more. Maybe even take an umbrella instead of the coat as temperatures will stay warm.
Pack your favourite swimsuits to make the most of the island's beautiful beaches and any hotel pools for a refreshing dip on the long sunny days. Don't forget a beach bag to carry your sunscreen, towel, and other essentials. Water shoes or sturdy sandals with good grip can be a good idea for rocky beaches or any water activities you take part in. There are mosquitos in Corfu, so take some repellent such as a spray for your body. Another good idea is to pack some travel-sized citronella candles for evenings sat outside your accommodation.
