Corfu Port Ferry Overview
Corfu is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea. It is the second largest of the Ionian Islands, and lies off the coast of Sarandë, Albania. The island is steeped in history and perennially connected to the history of Greece from the beginning of Greek mythology. Its Greek name, Kerkyra or Korkyra, is connected to two powerful water symbols: Poseidon, god of the sea and Asopos, an important Greek mainland river. In 2007, the city's old town was named on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Corfu has ferry services both by traditional ferries to Gaios in the island of Paxoi and as far as Patras and both traditional ferries and advanced retractable airfoil, hydrodynamic-flow, high-speed ferries called Flying Dolphins to Igoumenitsa and Sarandë in neighboring Albania. The small port of Lefkimmi is also to be found at the southernmost tip of the island on Cape Kavos, offering a ferry service to the mainland.
The Ferry Port of Corfu is located on the east coast of Corfu. The ferry port is a busy one with a large choice of crossings available. Main routes include Bari, Brindisi and Venice in Italy and Patras in Greece. Book all routes online at Ferry Price. |
