From London to Corfu and around Greece!
To Corfu:
Easyjet is the quickest and cheapest way. The departure will be from London Gatwick (north terminal-so you will have to account at least for 10min extra) is very early at 6:35am.
The most convenient but expensive way to the airport at that time is “ Gatwick express ” from Victoria station.
To the harbour in Kerkyra/Corfu town:
You will land (with the most beautiful views) at Corfu’s international airport I.Kapodistrias.
It is located approx 3km south of the Corfu Town city centre. If you want to spend more time on Corfu have a look here “ Corfu guide “. If you want to travel to the mainland straight away you best take a taxi (ask the driver how much the fare is before you sit down!!! 2008 it was €10) ask them to bring you to the harbour where the ships leave to Igoumentisa. Don’t worry they understand English-at least that much!
To Igoumentisa:
You will get your ferry ticket at the little hut’s on the harbour. The friendly lady’s speak English and the fare for pedestrians is €7. The ferry’s I have seen take car’s as well. There is a little kiosk on board were you can buy drinks and snacks. Enjoy the great view from the ferry! (don’t forget to pick up a leaflet with the ferry timetable for your return!)

Corfu town from the ferry
A very nice restaurant in Corfu town, which we tryed on our way back. As it is not unlikely that you might have to pay €5 for a cup of cafe and €15 for a budget main course. Strangely this restaurant was not more expensive than average but had the most stunning views and good food. I is on the street corner of Arseniou/Kapodistriou. But you will notice it from the ferry already.
