How Much It Costs to Get from Corfu Airport to Your Resort

Corfu Airport taxi prices are zone-based, meaning the cost depends on which part of the island you are heading to rather than a running meter. This makes pricing predictable. Here are the realistic costs for each transport method.

To Corfu Town (2 km)

• Taxi: 10-15 EUR. A very short trip.
• Pre-booked transfer: 15-20 EUR. Slight premium over taxi for such a short distance.
• Bus: 1.50 EUR. The cheapest option, runs during daytime hours only.

To Gouvia / Dassia / Ipsos (10-15 km north)

• Taxi: 20-30 EUR.
• Pre-booked transfer: 20-35 EUR.

These are popular resort areas and a straightforward 15-20 minute drive from the airport.

To Paleokastritsa (25 km west)

• Taxi: 35-45 EUR.
• Pre-booked transfer: 30-45 EUR.

The road to Paleokastritsa winds through the island's interior and takes about 35-45 minutes.

To Acharavi / Roda / Sidari (30-40 km north)

• Taxi: 40-60 EUR.
• Pre-booked transfer: 40-60 EUR.

These northern resorts are the farthest popular destinations, taking 45-60 minutes by road.

To Benitses / Moraitika / Messonghi (15-25 km south)

• Taxi: 25-40 EUR.
• Pre-booked transfer: 25-40 EUR.

The southern coastal road is relatively straight compared to the northern routes.

To Kavos (45 km south)

• Taxi: 50-65 EUR.
• Pre-booked transfer: 45-65 EUR.

Kavos is at the far southern tip of the island. Allow 50-60 minutes for the drive.

Factors that affect the price

Time of day: Taxis apply a night surcharge (after midnight) of roughly 20-30%. Transfer companies may or may not apply a similar surcharge - check at booking.

Luggage: Standard taxi and transfer prices assume normal tourist luggage. Oversized items like sports equipment may incur a small extra charge.

Vehicle size: A standard sedan is the default. Minivan transfers cost 10-20 EUR more but are necessary for larger groups or heavy luggage.

Season: Prices are fairly consistent between taxi and transfer options. However, during peak season you may find transfer prices slightly higher due to demand.

Is a taxi or transfer cheaper?

For short trips to Corfu Town, a taxi is slightly cheaper. For medium and long distances, the prices are essentially the same. The difference is not usually about money - it is about whether you want to wait in a queue or walk straight to a waiting car.

Budget option

The public bus to Corfu Town costs 1.50 EUR and is the cheapest way to leave the airport. From Corfu Town, you can connect to other Green Bus services that reach resorts across the island for similar fares. The entire journey might cost under 5 EUR. However, connections are infrequent, buses are not designed for heavy luggage, and the total travel time to distant resorts could be 2+ hours.
