About Corfu

Corfu punches above its weight: it's the greenest of the Greek islands, shaped by centuries of Venetian rule into something that feels more like a southern Italian hill town than a typical Aegean postcard. The Old Town is a genuine living city — people actually reside and shop within the fortifications — and the island's interior, laced with ancient olive groves and cypress-lined lanes, rewards anyone who gets off the beach. The combination of architecture, landscape, and food culture is unlike anywhere else in Greece.

Good to know

✓Base yourself in the Old Town rather than the package resorts on the east coast
✓The west-coast beaches need a car — buses are infrequent and routes are roundabout
✓Try sofrito and pastitsada — Corfiot cuisine is distinct from mainland Greek food

✈️ Getting there

CFUCorfu International Airport Ioannis Kapodistrias

📍 3 km⏱ 10 min🚌 Bus🚕 Taxi

The airport is just 3km from Corfu Town centre — a taxi costs around €12–15 and takes 10 minutes; bus line 19 runs for €1.80 but only every 30–60 minutes, so for arrivals with luggage the taxi is usually the smarter call.

A compact airport famous for its runway that ends directly at the sea — landings on runway 34 pass low over a beach packed with spectators. Used heavily by easyJet, Ryanair, Jet2, and TUI on charter routes from across Europe.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Corfu — beyond the tourist trail.

🏛️Walk the Liston arcade in Corfu Town at 7am before anyone else is awake — the French-built neo-classical colonnade modelled on the Rue de Rivoli in Paris is extraordinary, and morning light through the arches is the best photograph you'll take on the island.

🌿Drive the road between Lakones and Paleokastritsa just before sunset — the olive grove-covered hills tumbling into turquoise bays is Corfu's defining view. Stop at the belvedere lookout above Paleokastritsa for the best angle.

🫒Visit the Ropa Valley interior: hire a car and take the road through Ano Korakiana and Skripero — ancient olive trees hundreds of years old, complete silence, and family farms that sell their own oil direct from the press in season.

🍜Order pastitsada in any local restaurant — Corfu's signature dish of rooster braised with cloves and cinnamon in a spiced tomato sauce over macaroni is pure Venetian-Greek fusion and almost impossible to find elsewhere in Greece.

🚤Rent a small motorboat from Agios Gordios or Paleokastritsa for half a day — no licence required for low-power boats — and find the sea caves and inaccessible coves on the west coast that no path reaches from land.
