to get
By
air from Athens, Thesaloniki and from many cities in Europe
Corfu Airport is about 4
kilometers (2 1/2 miles) south of the center of Corfu town. Fortunately,
the flight patterns of most planes do not bring them over the city. Everyone
takes taxis into town
By
car via Igoumenitsa.
By
bus
KTEL
offers service all the way from Athens or Thessaloniki, with a ferry carrying
you between Corfu and Igoumenitsou on the mainland opposite. This mode
of transportation also allows you to get on or off at main points along
the way, such as Ioannina.
By
Ferry-boats
There
are many lines and ships linking Corfu to both Greek and foreign ports.
There are ferries almost hourly between Igoumenitsou, directly across on
the mainland (1 to 2 hrs.), and several weekly to and from Patras (about
7 hrs.). At least during high season, there is now a twice-daily hydrofoil
express (about 30 mins.) between Corfu and Igoumenitsou. Also in high season
are daily ships linking Corfu to one or another ports in Italy--Ancona,
Bari, Brindisi, Trieste, Venice--or to Piraeus and/or Patras.
By
yacht Corfu town is an official entry/exit harbour and as such possesses
Customs and Health authorities, as well as Passport Control and Exchange
Services. A GNTO yacht marina is located at Gouvia. |
