Getting Around Corfu

Public Buses: Regular bus service connects Corfu Town to beaches and villages. Buses operate from early morning until late evening. Routes are numbered and well-marked. Purchase tickets at kiosks or pay drivers directly. Service is inexpensive but can be crowded during peak hours.

Taxis: Readily available in town, airport, and major destinations. Metered taxis are affordable for short distances. Longer journeys (e.g., to Achilleion Palace) should be pre-agreed upon pricing. Radio taxis are reliable and can be reserved through hotels.

Car Rentals: Numerous rental agencies provide cars, scooters, and motorcycles. Local roads are generally well-maintained but can be narrow with sharp curves. Parking in the old town is extremely limited; consider leaving vehicles in dedicated lots. International driving permit recommended.

Ferries: Seasonal ferries connect to neighboring islands (Diapontia, Paxos, Antipaxos) and Albania (Saranda). Ferry operators maintain scheduled service with summer increases. Book in advance during peak season.

Walking: Corfu Town is best explored on foot. The compact layout and narrow streets favor pedestrian access. Comfortable walking shoes essential for cobblestones and hills.
