Paxos to Corfu Route Map
Paxi to Corfu takes anywhere from just under an hour on the faster boats to about an hour and three quarters on the conventional ferries, with Kamelia Lines and Kerkyra Lines both working the route. Vessels include the Calypso, the Christa and the Paxos Island, so what you get depends on the sailing. Some services run to Corfu Town, others call at Lefkimmi at the island's southern tip.
Corfu Town's port serves international ferries to Italy and Albania alongside domestic routes, so it is a busy arrival. The Old and New Venetian fortresses stand above the town, and the UNESCO-listed old town is close to the dock. Buses, taxis and car hire are all available at the port.
The route runs several times a day in season and drops back considerably in winter; the timetable and current fares are shown below. Since Paxi has no airport, most visitors leave this way and connect at Corfu for flights or onward ferries.

Hiring a car
Is it worth hiring a car in Corfu?
Yes, particularly if you want to reach beaches and villages away from the main resorts, since the island is one of the largest Ionian islands and buses and taxis only cover the popular routes well. Terrain is hilly in places, so a car with reasonable power helps, and petrol stations thin out in rural areas, so fill up when you can. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Paxos to Corfu ferry
- On busy summer short hops, the return sailing can fill up – book your return ticket at the same time as your outward ticket to guarantee a place.
- Check the marine weather forecast for your crossing the evening before departure; the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY) publishes forecasts for all sea areas.
- If you are island-hopping across multiple islands, pack light – you will be lifting your bag on and off ferries, into overhead racks, and up and down steps repeatedly.
- Once you arrive in Corfu, the UNESCO-listed Old Town rewards exploration with its Venetian-era fortresses, elegant arcaded streets, and the famous Liston promenade. The island's coastline offers excellent snorkelling and diving among the reefs of the Ionian Sea.
