Getting around in Corfù

In recent years, Corfu island has been taken by storm above all by the very young who choose it as a destination for an unforgettable high school journey but also by families with small children who do not want long journeys but want to find a spectacular sea and beaches where you can let go of all the stress and dedicate yourself to rest and tanning.

Corfu' has an extension of about 585 square kilometers, it is 64 kilometers long by 32 wide, not very large but not so small either. As always our advice is to rent a car.

You can bring it directly from home if you decide to reach it by ship or rely on one of the many rent a car that you will find on the island. As always, it is better to book well in advance so as to get the best rates and not risk finding nothing or exorbitant prices.

The roads that cross Corfu are full of curves and often with a lot of traffic, especially those leading from the northern part of the island. It is certainly the most comfortable way even if on the other hand it has the parking problem which in the summer period, given the influx of tourists, becomes a bit difficult to find but you are on vacation you can also take an extra round to search.

Another alternative to four wheels is the scooter. Medium preferred by young people as it is much cheaper and who are often not so interested in discovering the island but rather in its lively and transgressive nightlife. Therefore, if you are born centaurs, you can also opt for a moped always with an engine capacity higher than 80 cc so as to be able to tour the length and breadth of the verdant and exciting Corfu'. If you are super young, even a small engine is fine, even better from many points of view...

The quad only for lovers of this type of vehicle, first because it costs as much as a car and secondly because the possibility of having fun driving is minimal as there are very few dirt roads in Corfu.

Public transport: the network is very well supplied and gives the possibility to reach many beautiful places all to know. Obviously it is important to plan and study the times and destinations well so as to better organize your trips out of town. Clearly times are getting longer and here the usual patience comes into play. Always the Ktel reigns supreme for public transport.
