Museums and historic sites: hours, tickets and free days

Twenty museums, forts, castles and historic houses on Corfu, hung like labels on a museum wall: what each one shows, its opening hours and ticket prices as the museum or the Ministry of Culture publishes them, the free days, and how to get there. We read every official page on 5 October 2026; where a page gave no hours or prices we say so instead of guessing.

Also on Explore: virtual tours, galleries and art and Venetian, French and British Corfu.
