Logistics Tips
78 Trip Score

"A brisk but comprehensive one-day itinerary efficiently combines the historical charm of Corfu Town with the scenic beauty of Paleokastritsa, albeit with a generous travel window between locations."

Pro Tip: For efficient travel to destinations outside Corfu Town, such as Paleokastritsa, utilise the local Green Buses (KTEL Corfu). Purchase tickets from the bus terminal or directly from the driver (cash only).
