Corfu, situated in the Ionian Sea, lies just off the west coast of the Greek mainland and is a beautiful island.

 There are direct flights from both Athens and Thessaloniki and the island is connected with the other Ionian Islands by inter-island flights.  Corfu’s international airport is popular with scheduled and charter flights from most European cities. 

The major connection points are:

a)     The international airport of Ioannis Capodistrias

b)     The new port of Corfu Town

c)      The port of the second largest town - Lefkimmi

Airport of Ioannis Capodistrias

 Corfu has an excellent air connection with most European cities especially in the holiday seasons. There are dozens of charter flights daily. It has been said that in August there is one plane landing every three minutes. Furthermore, 4 to 6 flights daily connect the island with Athens and throughout the week there are a few flights connecting the island  with Thessaloniki.

Corfu Town New Port

The recently enlarged port of Corfu handles with care thousands of transporting passengers. The main international destinations are Italian ports of Venice, Ancona, Trieste, Bari and Brindisi. The port connects also Igoumenitsa, Paxos and Antipaxos Islands, Patras as well as regular lines between all the Ionian Islands. This varies substantially based on time of the year.

Lefkimmi Port

 The Lefkimmi port is situated south of the Island near the tourist resort Kavos. By geographical position Lefkimmi port is closer to Igoumenitsa (mainland Greece) than the port of Corfu. The trip takes less time and therefore it is also cheaper, especially for those travelling by their own car. The Lefkimmi port mainly serves connection to ‘Igoumenitsa’ and to the Islands of Paxos & Antipaxos. The routes operate daily throughout the year.
