Corfu airport transfers to town and the port
Corfu airport is close to town, but your final address matters more than the short distance suggests. A bus works well for travelers heading toward the main town stops, while a taxi or booked transfer helps with luggage and accommodation farther away. In the Old Town, expect the last part of the journey to involve walking through lanes that vehicles cannot enter.

How each one works
Bus: Blue city bus line 15
Look for the city bus stop outside the terminal and check the displayed route toward town or the port. You can pay the driver; have cash ready and confirm the accepted payment method. Ask which stop best serves your accommodation before boarding.
Taxi: Airport taxi rank
Use the taxi rank outside the terminal and show the driver your accommodation address. Confirm the fare arrangement before setting off. For an Old Town property, ask your host for the nearest accessible drop-off point and directions for the remaining walk.
Private transfer: Prebooked airport pickup
Book using your flight details and accommodation address, then follow the provider's meeting instructions inside or outside arrivals. Confirm how flight delays are handled and whether the vehicle can reach your property. Request any child seat when arranging the booking.
Arriving late or leaving early
Check the last bus before relying on public transport for a late arrival. If your flight lands after services finish, use a taxi or arrange a pickup. For an early departure, confirm the meeting point with your driver, particularly when your accommodation is inside pedestrian lanes.
Before you land
- Save your accommodation's map pin and the nearest road access point before flying, since a street address alone may not explain the final walk.
- For a ferry connection, allow time for baggage collection, road traffic and the operator's check-in requirement at the port.
- Travelers continuing beyond town should check whether they need the separate green bus station rather than a city bus stop.
Corfu airport transfers to town and the port
Does Corfu airport have a train connection?
There is no airport train connection. The practical choices for town are the city bus, a taxi or a prebooked road transfer.
Can a taxi take me to my Old Town door?
Some Old Town lanes are pedestrian or too narrow for vehicles. Ask your accommodation for the closest accessible drop-off and check how far you will need to carry luggage.
Can I take a bus from the airport to the port?
Line 15 serves the town and port, but check the current route and departures before traveling. Tell the driver which ferry operator or port meeting point you need.
Is walking from the airport a good option?
The distance to town is short, but heat, luggage and your final address affect the walk. Check a pedestrian route in advance; a bus or taxi is usually more comfortable with bags.
