Local transport

Bus

You can give the bus driver cash in euros as payment for the bus ride. Ask the driver to call out your stop, when you need to get off. 

Corfu has two main bus lines that make getting around the island easy, each offering its own unique features:

• The Blue Bus (https://astikoktelkerkyras.gr/en/itineraries/) (also known as the Corfu City Bus) is the island's main public transport line, primarily serving Corfu Town. It travels north to Ipsos, west to Pelekas, and south to Benitses. You can track the buses live via their website, so you’ll know exactly when the bus will arrive at your stop. Most buses accept credit or debit card payments, making them a convenient option for those staying within the town and nearby areas. While the Blue Bus is reliable, it serves a limited part of the island.
• The Green Bus (https://ktelkerkyras.gr/en) offers extensive coverage across the island, starting and ending in Corfu Town. This bus line connects the island’s more remote areas, allowing you to explore different parts of Corfu. However, the schedules are more flexible, with times being approximate due to traffic and other factors, and you cannot track the buses in real time. Bus stops feature timetables to help you plan your journey, but do keep in mind that it can sometimes be a little less reliable when it comes to punctuality.

Both options will get you around, but the Blue Bus is perfect for traveling around Corfu Town, while the Green Bus is ideal for island-wide adventures!

Taxi

You can request a taxi from the front desk of your accommodation or restaurant. You may also wait for a taxi at the taxi rank. In Corfu we have a radio taxi system, where you can call the radio taxi on +30 2661 033811 to get 24/7 access to taxi services. 

Before you get in the taxi, you must inform the driver of your direction. Ask the taxi driver to activate the Taximeter, and when you reach your destination, you pay the amount of the ride which is indicated on the screen. Additionally, you and the taxi driver can agree on an amount to pay before getting in the taxi. You can pay with cash. If you need a receipt, remember to ask the driver if it is possible to get it, before the ride starts. Be advised that taxis on Corfu are quite expensive in comparison to other Greek destinations.
