Corfu Airport is the nearest airport to Paxos and Antipaxos, and you can fly there from many European airports in the UK and throughout Europe. There are also direct flights from Athens and other Greek airports.
After you’ve arrived at Corfu International Airport “Ioannis Kapodistrias”, you’ll need to make your way to the ferry port in Corfu Old Town. The easiest way to do this is to take a taxi. You can pre-book a taxi using Welcome Pickups so that the driver is ready to meet you at the airport. It will take around 15 minutes to get from the airport to the ferry port by taxi.
While in the summer these ferry services run 3 or more times a day, it might be worth contacting them if you plan to fly to Corfu and then take the ferry boats straight to Paxos island.
If you arrive too late, you might need to spend a night in Corfu Town – not something you want to arrange at last minute in the high season!
A hydrofoil service, that takes around an hour costing approximately 35 Euros.
Kamelia Lines provide this fast boat service between Lefkimi (South part of Corfu) and Paxos. To get to Paxos on this boat, expect to pay around 28 Euro as a foot passenger including the bus from Corfu airport to Lefkimi. Visit www.kamelialines.gr for more travel info.
It may also be possible to take a private sea taxi. A private sea taxi is good for 8 people and it costs around 500 euros.
If you’re travelling overland through main land Greece, you might find it as easy to take a ferry from Igoumenitsa to Paxos.
There is a car ferry service running from Igoumenitsa to Gaios harbour on Paxos with the journey taking around 1 hour and 45 minutes.
This local car ferry runs daily in the summer, so if you’ve driven through Europe and taken a ferry from Italy to Igoumenitsa, this could be a good choice to get to Paxos.
Pricing starts at 10 Euro for foot passengers and 40 Euro for vehicles.
Note that you can book this ferry online.
