Corfu is near Albania - will my phone roam onto the wrong network?

It can, near the north-east coast facing Albania. Your phone should prefer a Greek network, but it's worth checking it hasn't latched onto an Albanian carrier, as that roaming sits outside your Greece plan. Selecting the network manually fixes it.

How much data do I need for a week exploring Corfu?

For maps, satnav on island drives, boat bookings, photos and social posts over a week, many travellers find 3-5GB comfortable. The same national Greece plan also covers day trips to the mainland or other islands if you venture further.

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.
