Corfu is the second-largest and northernmost of the Ionian Islands. The island's port, which welcomes all ships, is located in Corfu Town.
All ferries that start from the Greek mainland leave from Igoumenitsa, a coastal city facing the south part of the island which hosts one of the largest ports in the country.
From the port of Corfu, visitors can also reach the Diapontian Islands (Othoni, Mathraki and Ereikoussa).

ROUTES TO CORFU

Corfu is a big island with around a hundred thousand permanent inhabitants; thus, crossings from/to the island are available throughout the year. Its port is connected with Igoumenitsa (mainland Greece) and the small islands of Othoni, Mathraki and Ereikoussa, as well as with three regions of Italy, namely Ancona, Bari, Brindisi and Venice.

WHERE TO GO FOR A DAY TRIP

Corfu is a large island with a rich historical background and many natural beauties, offering its guests many things to see and do during their stay. A minimum of 5 days is mandatory to explore the areas sufficiently, so day trips are not very popular among holidaymakers who visit the island for a couple of days.
Despite the fact that Corfu can be characterized as an outlier because of its limited connections with other ports, three low-profile neighbors of the island are ideal for day trips. Those are the Diapontian Islands, a group of tiny islands with a tranquil ambiance and azure waters surrounding them.

• • Othoni: Othoni is the largest of the three islands and the westernmost point of Greece, which lies 80 km away from Corfu. It boasts beautiful beaches, picturesque settlements and traditional hiking paths.
• • Mathraki: Mathraki is the smallest of the island group. It lies 67 km away from Corfu and has lush nature, quaint paths and hamlets, and enchanting beaches.
• • Ereikoussa: Ereikoussa is the most populated among the three and lies 54 km from Corfu. It is endowed with a verdant landscape, two lovely beaches with crystal waters and a few settlements.

TRAVEL TIPS

Travel tips to organize your trip to Corfu:

• • Ferry tickets are very affordable as Igoumenitsa faces the island.
• • Booking your ferry tickets in advance is strongly recommended for individuals who plan on visiting the island in July or August.

Frequently Asked Questions
