Paleokastritsa is 15 kilometres from Corfu Airport, but on the opposite side of the island — reached by crossing over the central ridge via the inland road through Corfu city outskirts. Public buses do serve this route but require a connection in Corfu city and limited onward departures.

Other Transport Options from Corfu Airport to Paleokastritsa
While several transportation alternatives exist for reaching Paleokastritsa from Corfu Airport, each has limitations compared to a private transfer:
- KTEL Bus (via Corfu City): KTEL operates bus services from Corfu city to Paleokastritsa, with approximately 5–7 departures daily in summer. Journey time from the city is around 45 minutes and tickets cost approximately €2.00–2.50 per person. From the airport, take the airport bus to Corfu city first (€1.50–2.00). Total journey time from airport to Paleokastritsa by public bus is approximately 60–75 minutes including the city connection.
- Airport Bus to Corfu City: The public airport bus runs to Corfu city's San Rocco Square for approximately €1.50–2.00 per person, with services several times daily. From the city, KTEL coaches depart for Paleokastritsa from the terminal on Avramiou Street. This two-stage journey is manageable but adds unnecessary complexity to what is a 15km direct route.
- Standard Taxi: Taxis from the rank outside Corfu Airport arrivals cost approximately €20–32 to Paleokastritsa for the 15km journey via the inland road. Taxis are available without advance booking, though pre-booking during peak summer is convenient. The route passes through the outskirts of Corfu city before heading west across the island.
- Car Rental: Car hire at Corfu Airport is an excellent option for Paleokastritsa visitors who plan to explore the western coast, visiting the Achilleion Palace, the villages of Pelekas and Sinarades, and the beaches of Glyfada and Agios Gordios. Rental rates start from approximately €25–40 per day. Parking at Paleokastritsa is in the main car park above the bay.
Our private taxi from Corfu Airport to Paleokastritsa eliminates these hassles with direct, comfortable, door-to-door service at a guaranteed fixed price.
About Paleokastritsa
Paleokastritsa is arguably the most beautiful spot on Corfu and one of the most photographed bays in the entire Mediterranean. The bay is actually a series of six interconnected coves separated by dramatic rocky headlands, their turquoise waters flanked by pine and olive-clad hillsides, with the 13th-century monastery of Theotokos dramatically perched on a headland above the largest cove. The monastery, still an active religious site, houses an important collection of icons and religious artefacts and offers extraordinary views across the bay from its clifftop terrace.
The waters of Paleokastritsa are exceptionally clear, with several sea caves and submerged rock formations making it one of the best snorkelling and diving destinations in the Ionian. Boat trips from the main beach visit the sea caves and the striking Corfu's 'blue eye' cave system. Above Paleokastritsa, the hillside village of Lakones commands a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire bay — the so-called 'Bella Vista' viewpoint is considered one of the finest vantage points in Greece. Despite its fame, Paleokastritsa retains a relatively intimate scale, and accommodation is limited primarily to small hotels and villa complexes within the surrounding hillsides.
Important Transfer Information
Accommodation Spread: Accommodation in the Paleokastritsa area is spread across several coves and the hillside above the bay rather than in a single concentrated resort area. Please provide your exact hotel or villa address when booking so our driver can navigate directly to your property.
Monastery Dress Code: The Monastery of Theotokos above the main cove is an active religious site requiring modest dress — shoulders and knees must be covered for entry. Wraps are available to borrow at the entrance. If you plan to visit on arrival day, let our driver know and they can advise on timing.
Western Coast: Paleokastritsa is on Corfu's western coast and is subject to stronger surf conditions than the eastern coast resorts, particularly during the meltemi wind season. On calm days the swimming is exceptional; on windier days the beach concession operators will advise on the best conditions.
