How to get from Athens, Greece to the island of Corfu, Greece?

Question

It would be great if you could provide me with specific instructions on how to get to Corfu. Transportation means and cost, how long it would take?

Also if you have different ideas on how to get there, please let me know all of them...

Answer 1

Airfare with the taxes is 135 euros, one way.

Answer 2

As the answerer above said bus is cheapest - takes a long time though - approx 7-8hrs to Igoumenitsa then a ferry which I think is approx 1.30hr.

You can also fly there with local planes.

Answer 3

Just to add a few lines. It has already been answered.

The cheapest way is by bus, obviously.

Departures from Athens are daily 07.30, 10.00, 20.30.

Alternative way is through Lefkimmi. Shorter ferry time but longer in the whole.Tues,Thur, Sat  at 10.00

The trip lasts approx 8 hours with stops on the way. The fare is approx 35.00€ and about  7.00€ the ferry.The ferry is nearly 2 hours and there are ferries almost every hour. The fast way is the plane which is almost 1 hour flight and the cost approx 100.00€ incl. taxes. If booked in month advance can be cheaper.

Buses depart from the Kifissos Bus Station on the west side of Athens. Local buses depart from close to Omonoia sq.and go directly to the depot .

Answer 4

The bus may be the cheapest, but can 'cost' you so much time! I always try to book a flight as soon as I know when I need to travel, usually Aegean airways have the best rate, you might even find a seat for approx 50euro.

My Fiance drives and takes the ferry Igoumenitsa -Corfu because he doesnt like to fly.

Answer 5

The best way to get to Corfu from Athens is to take the bus from Kifissos bus station to the city of Igoumenitsa (about 15Euro). From Igoumenitsa there are ferries to Corfu every hour or so and it's a short trip there. Great island Corfu, enjoy your stay!
