Corfu

How to Get to Corfu

Corfu is an island off the Greek & Albanian Coast, accessible via plane or boat.

The main airport is Corfu International/Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport, and is a 14 minute drive from the main town of Corfu. I would suggest getting a hotel pick up, a taxi, or renting a car if you are planning on driving around the island.

You can also get to Corfu via ferry! Use Direct Ferries to find out schedules & prices.
