Bikinis and walking in the island
While there is no specific national law in Greece making it illegal to walk around in a bikini outside of the beach, doing so in Corfu’s towns, villages, or local shops is heavily frowned upon by locals and considered deeply disrespectful.
Swimwear should be strictly reserved for the beach or pool areas.
Local Etiquette and Expectations
In Towns and Villages:
Walking through Corfu Town or residential streets in just a bikini or swimming trunks is viewed as poor manners and a lack of decorum.
Entering Establishments:
When visiting local supermarkets, cafes, bakeries, or tavernas—even those close to the coast—you are expected to put on a proper cover-up, shorts, or a T-shirt.
Religious Sites:
When visiting churches or monasteries across the island, a strict dress code applies where both shoulders and knees must be covered.
