Best Dog-Friendly Hotels in Corfu
Greece
6 dog-friendly luxury hotels.
Where can my dog actually go?
Corfu is greener, flatter and easier on a dog than the Cyclades, but the luxury hotels haven't caught up. We researched eight through our booking partner and six take dogs. Read the access column before the fee, though. Angsana, Domes of Corfu and both Grecotel resorts keep the dog out of every restaurant, bar, pool and beach, so it's a room and the lanes. Only two publish a proper welcome. Nido at Agios Ioannis Peristeron gives a bed, bowls and a pet menu and points you to its beach, gardens and hiking paths. Restia on Almyros beach provides bowls and pet-sitting in specific suites.
Two things to know before you book. Every hotel here caps the dog at 8 to 10 kg, so a larger dog needs a villa, not a hotel. And Domes of Corfu is not the Domes you know from Crete. No welcome kit, no dogs at meals, no pool or beach access published, and the weight cap varies between 10 and 25 kg depending on who you ask. Confirm direct.
The island makes up for it. Olive-grove lanes, the Achilleion grounds, the Kommeno peninsula paths, the Mon Repos estate in town and the long flat Almyros beach in the north are all easy walking. The Igoumenitsa ferry takes dogs free on the open deck in about an hour and a quarter. Fees run from nothing at Nido to EUR 100 per stay at Angsana, Domes and Restia.

- Igoumenitsa to Corfu takes about 75 to 90 minutes with Kerkyra Lines or Kerkyra Seaways.

- The Achilleion Palace grounds and Kaiser's Bridge above Benitses, the Kommeno peninsula lanes and Gouvia marina promenade, the Mon Repos estate and Spianada in Corfu Town, the Kalami to Agni coastal path, and Almyros beach to the Antinioti lagoon in the north.

Questions we get asked
Dogs in Corfu
Is Corfu dog friendly?+
The island is, the luxury hotels less so. Six of the eight we researched take dogs, but four confine them to the room and grounds. Nido and Restia are the two with a real welcome. Walking is easy, green and mostly flat.
Which Corfu hotels accept dogs?+
Nido Mar-Bella Collection, Restia Suites, Corfu Imperial, Grecotel Eva Palace, Angsana Corfu and Domes of Corfu. Bella Venezia in Corfu Town and San Antonio at Kalami refuse.
Which Corfu hotel is best for a dog?+
Nido at Agios Ioannis Peristeron. It's adults-only, provides a bed, bowls and a pet menu, and lets the dog onto its beach, gardens and hiking paths. Restia at Almyros is the other one that publishes real amenities.
Is Domes of Corfu dog friendly?+
It takes one dog or cat for a EUR 100 cleaning fee, but keeps pets out of restaurants, bars, pools and the spa, and asks that they're never left alone. There's no welcome kit or dog menu, unlike Domes in Crete. Confirm the weight limit direct, sources range from 10 to 25 kg.
Do Grecotel hotels in Corfu take dogs?+
Yes, under the group policy. Corfu Imperial and Eva Palace accept one dog to 8 kg in selected garden villas and bungalows, with pet food, a bed and a bowl in the room. EUR 20 a night in bungalows, free in villas. Not in public or dining areas.
How much do Corfu hotels charge for dogs?+
Nido lists no charge on its own site. Corfu Imperial and Eva Palace EUR 20 a night in bungalows, free in villas. Angsana, Domes of Corfu and Restia EUR 100 per stay.
Which Corfu hotels take large dogs?+
None on this list. Every hotel caps the dog at 8 to 10 kg. For a larger dog, a private villa is the realistic option.
Can I take my dog on the ferry to Corfu?+
Yes. From Igoumenitsa it's about 75 to 90 minutes, the dog travels free on the open-deck pet area and must be declared at booking. From Ancona or Venice, Superfast carries dogs free in a carrier but overnight you'll want a pet cabin or kennel, both booked in advance. Bring the EU pet passport.
Can dogs go on Corfu beaches?+
The hotels on this list don't open their private beaches to dogs, except Nido. Quieter public stretches at Dassia, Benitses and Almyros are the realistic swims, early or late in summer.
Where should I stay in Corfu with a dog?+
South of town at Nido for the best welcome. The north coast at Restia for flat beach walking. Kommeno for the Grecotel resorts if you want a big resort and can live with the room-only rule.
