Corfu Airport Transfers

1. Corfu Town is scarcely more than a mile down the road, meaning Corfu Airport transfers in minutes. Stroll the narrow cobbled streets of the old town, and visit museums, churches plus the old and new fortresses. Enjoy people-watching at the pavement cafes by the Esplanade. Mon Repos palace here is the birthplace of Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
2. Agios Gordios is nine miles south-west – head there with a Corfu Airport transfer and arrive in 20 minutes. This traditional village on the island’s west coast oozes charm and views of olive groves, mountain scenery, beaches and pastel-hued buildings.
3. Kassiopi is 22.5 miles north – allow around 55 minutes for your airport transfer. The biggest village in the island’s northeast, its history dates from Roman times. Its stony beaches include Blue Flag winner Kalamionas. This romantic harbour town also offers walks with views of Mt Mount Pantokrator. The remains of a Byzantine castle lie in nearby hills.
4. Sidari lies some 23.5 miles north and the run from the airport takes 50 minutes. This lively resort has buzzing bars but also secluded coves and coastal walks. One of the smaller beaches is surrounded by rock pools; couples who swim between the sea walls in the ‘Love Canal’ allegedly stay together forever!
5. Pelekas is seven miles west; an airport transfer covers them within 20 minutes. Standing on one of the island’s most beautiful hills, this charming, traditional village is also near three sandy beaches – Glyfada, Pelekas and Myrtiotissa – plus some great tavernas.
6. Kavos is nearly 30 miles south. It’s known as a 24/7 town, with clubs and bars and high-octane watersports from the 8km beach. Sun yourself by day and party by night, or vary the pace with a relaxed boat trip up the coast.

1. The Church of Saint Spyridon is five minutes from the airport, a mile and a half north. One of Corfu’s best-known, most colourful landmarks, it has a sumptuous interior and red-painted bell tower. The island’s patron saint’s remains are here – legend has it he stalks the Old Town at night!
2. Aqualand lies some seven miles west, meaning Corfu Airport transfers take barely more than 15 minutes. This sprawling park encompasses fun, relaxation and adrenaline, with slides and rides, pools, dining and a jacuzzi, plus spa treatments and a video arcade.
3. Paleokastritsa Monastery is nearly 16 miles north, taking 35 minutes by airport transfer. The thirteenth-century building is in pastel colours and overlooks the sea from its cliff-top spot. The trip is worth it for the views alone, but it’s also a working monastery with a museum.
4. Pontikonisi or Mouse Island is a few miles south, so a Corfu Airport transfer has you there in no time. The islet has a chapel and seventeenth-century Venetian monastery and is a beautiful, chilled spot.
5. Kaiser’s Throne, the highest point of Pelakas, is around 7.5 miles west or 20-odd minutes by car. It was a favourite of Kaiser Wilhelm II, and the peak has stunning 360 degree views across the island to Italy and Albania. Drive to the viewing platform to avoid climbing if preferred and enjoy a coffee – it’s especially popular at sunrise and sunset.
6. The Achilleion is five miles or just under 15 minutes south by road, just outside the village of Gastouri. This grandiose, neoclassical villa and palm-filled gardens with statues were the summer escape of Sisi, Empress of Austria.

Corfu Airport has spacious disabled toilets with grab rails, plus an ambi-lift and ramps throughout. Help for those with reduced mobility is offered from arrival to boarding and in reverse on landing, in accordance with EU law.

Tell your airline what you need at least 48 hours before flying, including if you use an assistance dog.

Make yourself known when you arrive at one of the airport’s designated waiting points – Corfu International sets itself strict targets for minimal waiting times.
