How much does a taxi from Corfu Airport cost: 2026 price guide
The taxi fare from Corfu Airport (CFU), officially known as Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport, to Corfu Town is around €15 during the day with a surcharge of 25-30% at night.
Corfu Airport is located just 3 km south of Corfu Town, and it takes just 10-15 minutes to reach.
Official taxis operate under regulated Greek taxi tariffs, with additional charges for waiting time, public holidays, and larger luggage, so the final fare can vary, and during the peak tourist season, when multiple international flights arrive, long queues for both taxis and buses are common.
A prepaid airport taxi lets you avoid waiting in line after landing while giving you the certainty of a fixed fare before you travel. With a Welcome Pickups transfer, your English-speaking driver also monitors your flight, meets you inside Arrivals with a personalized name sign.
