Many places in Corfu prefer cash, and unreliable Wi-Fi can make card payments tricky. It’s always better to be safe than sorry!

It’s a good idea to bring water shoes and a dry bag! Many of Corfu’s beaches are pebbly and sometimes only accessible by boat.

If you want to explore the island, renting a car is highly recommended.

Most car rental companies require a credit card, so please consider this before travelling. Also, be sure to take photos of the car before and after your rental - this can help avoid unexpected charges.

Many roads are narrow, winding, and originally designed for donkey traffic! A small car is ideal for navigating tight spaces and one-way streets.

Taxis are available across the island, though it’s best to pre-book during busy hours.

Note: taxis don’t always use apps or meters, so it’s common to agree on a fare beforehand, especially for longer rides. Check in with your driver prior.

Renting a scooter or quad is a popular way to get around locally and visit nearby beaches or villages. However, they’re best if you’re staying in one area and not planning to explore the whole island extensively.

Buses run regularly between Corfu Town and popular beaches like Palaiokastritsa and Agios Gordios. They’re affordable, though service can be infrequent and sometimes unpredictable, so be sure to check the latest timetables before planning your trip.
