Taxis are available 24/7 at the designated taxi rank located directly outside the arrivals terminal exit. The journey to Corfu Town center is short, typically taking 10-15 minutes, with an estimated fare of €15-€20. Fares are metered, but it's advisable to confirm the approximate cost with the driver before departure. Private transfer services can also be pre-booked online.
Numerous car rental companies operate at the airport, with desks located inside the arrivals hall. Options include major international brands like Hertz, Avis, Sixt, and Europcar, as well as several local Greek providers. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance, especially during the peak tourist season, to ensure availability and secure better rates. Car pick-up and drop-off lots are situated a short walk from the terminal building.
The primary public transit option is the local 'Blue Bus' service. Line No. 15 connects the airport directly to Corfu Town's center (San Rocco Square) and the main bus station. The bus stop is conveniently located just outside the terminal building. The service is frequent and affordable, with tickets available for purchase from a machine at the stop or from the driver. From the main bus station in town, you can connect to the 'Green Buses' for travel to other villages and beaches across the island.
Flew in Sept 13-18 2015. Cessna 210 MGTW 1740 Kg.
IFR from Hungary cancelled (due to VFR weather) on arrival when contacting Greek radar. No IFR fee.
Paid the following fees:
Landing 7.50 Euro
Parking 7.50/day
Handling at Swissport with AOPA card 25 Euro
Avgas 2.90/Lt
Passenger departure Tax 12 Euro/passenger
Not sure about a departure tax but I think there was one.
Everything went smoothly and professionally. Would recommend the airport as well the community for a vacation spot. Just pay attention to local time difference if arriving from up north due to the difference in local time.
Corfu (Kerkyra) is one of the few Greek airports with normal working hours during the winter (see http://www.ypa.gr/content/index.asp?tid=247&lang=2 - some airports are open only on some days, some are open for only an hour in the evening, etc).
The arrival and stay in Corfu was pleasant. I assume that during the high season the airport may be quite busy.
An important advice: have the AOPA membership card or some proof that you are a flying-club member with you. With proof of club membership, the landing fee is symbolic (some 4 EUR) and you get a hefty discount on handling (some 15-20 EUR). It is rumored that Greeks are trying hard to invite GA guests to their nice places and these discounts are part of this campaign. We can only applaud this attitude and wish other countries would do the same.
Altogether the experience was very nice, although the Greek way (everything can be solved, sometimes a bit slow). ARO is the tower: they were very friendly and helpful in planning and arranging the flight through Greek airspace.
For a 100$ hamburger type of stay (in reality it is a 600 EUR Greek dinner), there is quite a decent Hotel Bretagne 5 minutes walk from the airport and another 15 minutes walk from the city centre.
