Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport in Corfu is one of the most spectacular in Greece: the runway runs beside the Chalkiopoulos lagoon, a stone's throw from Vlacherna monastery and the islet of Pontikonissi, and planes land almost over the heads of passers-by. It lies just south of the UNESCO-listed old town and is handy for reaching the city and resorts all over the island.

Getting to town
- City bus no. 15: links the airport with San Rocco square (Saroko) and the new port.
- On foot: with light luggage you can walk to the old town in about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Taxis and hire cars outside the terminal; for the northern resorts it is best to book a transfer.
Practical tips
- Documents: EU citizens only need a valid identity card or passport.
- Islands in summer: island airports are small and very crowded on peak days; arrive well ahead of your return flight.
- Domestic flights: Aegean, Olympic and Sky Express link Athens and Thessaloniki with dozens of islands; alternatively there are the ferries.
- Taxis: ask the price before getting in or check that the meter is running; on the islands it is best to book.
