Located three kilometres south of Corfu town (Kérkira) in the area of
Kanoni, opposite the islet of Pontikonissi, Corfu Airport is clean and
modern with basic facilities and service. There are three or more flights
to and from Athens every day and flights for Thessaloniki are available on
Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
There is one terminal building for both domestic and international
flights with Greek Airlines, Olympic Airlines and Aegean Airlines as the
main carriers. A host of other chartered carriers serve the airport,
especially in the summer months.
Essential facilities include a bank and ATM, a money exchange booth,
and a post office. There are specially adapted telephones and toilets for
the physically disabled, as well as a health centre. Once through to the
departure lounge, there is a large amount of seating, tax-free shopping,
and a café and bar serving drinks, coffee and snacks.
There is a regular local bus service to and from the airport and Corfu
town. Many of the larger hotels have their own free minibus service, and
if you’re arriving on a package holiday, transfers to and from the airport
are usually included.
By car, Corfu town is to the north on the Kérkira-Kanoni road. Taxis
are also readily available outside the terminal; make sure you agree the
price first. There is parking for 120 cars and 60 buses. An information
desk is located in the Arrivals
hall. |
