Getting from Antikythera to Corfu

If you are heading to Corfu from Antikythera you are making your way from one of the most remote islands in Greece to the northwestern part of the country, an island in the Ionian Sea with a UNESCO World Heritage Site town and a lush green coastline.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Antikythera to Corfu. The only mainland ferry connection to Corfu departs from Igoumenitsa. Antikythera's ferry connections are limited to Kythira, Piraeus, Kissamos in Crete and occasional ports on the southern Peloponnese. Getting to Corfu means taking the ferry from Antikythera to Piraeus, which takes around 9 hours, and then traveling northwest to Igoumenitsa by road for the short ferry to Corfu taking around 1 hour 30 minutes.

Getting there by air

Corfu has an international airport with daily connections from Athens. Antikythera has no airport, only a helipad. Taking the ferry from Antikythera to Kythira, flying to Athens and then Athens to Corfu takes around 1 hour on the second leg. Total journey time is around 5 to 6 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the ferry from Antikythera to Kythira, fly to Athens and then fly to Corfu. It is the fastest and most practical approach. If you are traveling with a car, take the overnight ferry from Antikythera to Piraeus and drive northwest to Igoumenitsa for the ferry across to Corfu, which gives you a vehicle on the island for exploring the coastline and interior villages.
