Corfu Arrival By Ferry from Mainland Greece
The third largest city in Greece, Patras on the Peloponnese or Igoumanitsa just across the the strait on the mainland are the two main approaches to Corfu from mainland Greece. From Athens public buses are available to both these destinations. To Patras a longer ferry journey to Corfu itsself is necessary but a shorter bus ride from Athens and from Igoumanitsa the exact opposite. There are two arrival ports in Corfu Town and some boats will go to all three so enquire as to your choice for disembarkation

The island of Corfu’s third port is in southern Corfu near the village of Lafkimmi, and if traveling from mainland Greece is a closer and a cheaper, quicker option, if your destination is southern Corfu.
