Aegean Taxi Airport guide image
Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport (CFU) is the main international gateway to the northern Ionian islands, welcoming a high volume of direct flights from across Europe. Ideally situated just 3 kilometers from the heart of Corfu's UNESCO-listed Old Town, it provides visitors with immediate access to the island's Venetian architecture, lush landscapes, and famous beaches. The airport operates at peak capacity during the long summer season, and its modernized terminal is designed to offer a smooth and efficient travel experience for passengers.

The terminal is fully equipped with passenger services, including a wide selection of duty-free shops, cafes, and all major car rental companies. For travel across the large island, pre-booked transfers and taxis are the most comfortable and direct options, providing reliable connections to your destination. While public buses provide service to Corfu Town, they may not serve all resorts directly. To avoid queues during busy periods, booking an Aegean Taxi transfer in advance is the best way to ensure a prompt and relaxing start to your Corfiot holiday.

Getting to and from Corfu Airport

By Taxi

The taxi station is conveniently located just outside the arrivals exit. However, due to the high volume of international flights arriving, queues can be very long during peak hours.

A pre-booked transfer with Aegean Taxi is the most efficient way to start your holiday, allowing you to bypass the wait entirely.

Your driver will meet you at arrivals for a comfortable, fixed-rate journey to Corfu Town or any of the island's famous resorts.

By Bus

The local Blue Bus (Line 15) is the most economical option, connecting the airport with San Rocco Square in the center of Corfu Town.

To reach other resorts across the island, you will need to take a connecting long-distance Green Bus (KTEL) from the main station in town.

You can find more information on the Corfu City Bus website: astikoktelkerkyras.gr

Renting a car is the best way to have the freedom to explore the large and diverse island of Corfu, from its hidden coves to its mountain villages.

All major international and local car rental companies have desks located directly in the arrivals hall of the airport.

It is highly recommended to book your vehicle well in advance, especially during the high season, to ensure you get the best selection and price.
