Local transport

Two excellent capillary bus networks radiate out from Corfu Town and cover virtually every corner of the island. Be aware that heavy traffic in and around the town often causes delays, especially on rainy days. It’s a good idea at the start of a holiday to pick up a copy of timetables from the main ticket offices in Corfu Town so you can plan your movements.

The Blue Buses run around Corfu Town and relatively close destinations such as the airport, Benitses and Pelekas (tel 26610 39859, www.astikoktelkerkyras.gr for timetables). Villages further afield, as far south as Kavos and north to Aharavi, are served by the Green Buses (www.ktelkerkyras.gr tel 26610 28927). They also do long-distance runs to Athens and Thessaloniki.

Otherwise there are the island’s taxis. Services are plentiful right across the island and fares are reasonable. Ask your hotel or B&B to call one for you. Alfa Taxi (www.alfataxicorfu.net tel 26630 32400) covers the north of the island, as does the taxi company tel 26610 30180. For the south of the island (mob 6977 864823 www.southcorfutaxi.com).
