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.

The short version.

A travel eSIM is data only. It sits next to your home SIM, so your number, texts and WhatsApp carry on as normal. Pick unlimited, priced per day, or a fixed bundle of GB if it's mostly maps and messages. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly — the days only start once it first connects in Corfu, and it finds a partner network on its own.
