By Bus The KTEL (Green Bus) company offers bus services on the island of Corfu, with connections between Kerkyra and a variety of destinations. Services are very cheap and generally punctual, and almost all buses are air-conditioned. Visitors not hiring vehicles invariably opt to use the buses for getting around on account of their efficiency and good value for money. By Taxi The island has over 300 taxis in circulation.In and around Corfu town, a taxi is probably your best bet—sometimes the only way around, such as to and from the harbor and the airport. Although taxi drivers are supposed to use their meters, many don’t, so you should agree on the fare before setting out. Taxi stands can be found at Neo Limani, San Rocco, Spilia and Spianada or you can book ahead by calling: 26610- 33811. By Car Car rentals are a safer option .There are myriad car-rental agencies all over Corfu island, even so, in high season it can be very difficult to get a vehicle at the spur of the moment.You can pick your car up at the port, the airport and in the capital of the island. There is a great variety of vehicles offered, from small cars to luxurious jeeps. Select the vehicle that suits you, in order to explore Corfu. Of course, remember that you should have the driving license always with you and you should not drive if you have drunk alcohol, in order to avoid unpleasant fines from the frequent police controls. By Moped It’s easy to rent all kinds of mopeds and scooters and motorcycles, but the roads are so curvy, narrow, and steep that you should be very experienced before taking on such a vehicle.
