Why travel by plane to Corfu?

By taking flights to Corfu, travelers from the USA can touch down in Athens (or many other European entry points), enjoy a brief stopover if desired, then continue their journey to the island. It's comfortable, fast, and convenient, with easy transfers to all parts of the island upon arrival.

Before you travel to Corfu by plane - good to know!

Corfu has a good bus service, which runs from the capital to all of the island's biggest resorts and offers very affordable fares. Car hire is also available from the island's airport, which may well be a more appealing option for visitors. In any case, there's a lot to see. The capital plays host to the beautiful 16th-century church of St Spyridon and the ancient fortress that has repelled countless invaders. Outside the city, the island-bound Vlacherna Monastery is a highlight, as are the mysterious ruins at the abandoned village of Perithia. So get out and explore: it's a fascinating island.
