Due to the absence of an airport in Sidari, your flight will arrive at the Corfu airport, named after the hero and first president of Greece, Ioannis Kapodistrias.
The airport was constructed in 1962 and has seen minimal changes over the years, even though it serves the entire northwestern part of the island.
The airport features a small passenger terminal, a typical Duty-Free shop for international airports, cafes, snack bars, and a currency exchange point. Passengers can access a medical station, a mother and child room, and a post office. However, there are no luggage storage facilities at the airport.
Passengers do not check their luggage at the check-in counter; instead, they place it on the baggage carousel themselves. Baggage wrapping for items weighing less than 20 kg costs passengers 7 EUR, while heavier items can be wrapped by terminal staff for 11 EUR or more. The airport can be crowded at times, particularly during peak tourist arrivals, leading to queues and customs clearance taking at least 5 minutes per person. It's advisable to arrive at the airport well in advance to avoid stress while waiting for your flight.
As is common in international transport hubs, prices at cafes and restaurants in Corfu airport are typically about twice as high as local rates.
You can find the layout of Corfu airport inside the terminals.
