Island Trips from Corfu

Corfu is both an island and a city. Corfu Town is known for its UNESCO-listed old town, fortresses and museums; the beach resorts are spread around the coast. Paleokastritsa is 23 km west of town, while Sidari, Kassiopi and the southern beaches require separate journeys.

Yes. These are among the most-booked full-day cruises in the current catalogue. Departures use Corfu Town, Benitses or Lefkimmi, so check the pier carefully: the wrong end of the island can add a long road transfer.

Yes. Bookable trips combine the ferry to Sarandë with Butrint, but this is an international border crossing. Carry the travel document required for your nationality and check visa and entry rules before booking; a Greek island holiday does not remove Albanian border formalities.

No. The historic centre is compact enough to explore independently. A guide is useful for the Venetian, French and British layers and the two fortresses, while a hop-on hop-off bus mainly helps connect sights outside the pedestrian lanes.

Not for a stay centred on Corfu Town. A car becomes useful for several beaches, mountain villages and the north in one trip. Roads are often narrow and slower than the distance suggests, and parking in the old town is less convenient than walking from an outer car park.
