There are no travel websites that will tell you this, but I learned the hard way how to get to Corfu cheaply and without having to fly in to Athens Airport (ugh!).
Before you go, check out cheap charter flights out of London direct to Corfu (Corfu has a nice airport). Matter of fact, you can fly to many cities in Europe (Paris, someplace in Germany [forgot where]. Budapest, et al., and then fly directly to Corfu very cheaply. Just Google "Cheap flights [or charter flights] to Corfu," and up pop many sites that will get you there very cheaply. What you want to avoid is stopping over in Athens! This is a nightmare and will cause you at least a half day delay, if not more. Plus, it's more money!
You can also get to Corfu cheaply by taking a boat from Venice, Italy, or from Bari or Brindisi, Italy.
So you just have to figure out where you want to go in Europe, then catch an easy and cheap flight or boat ride to Corfu. But whatever you do, avoid Athens Airport! Theme: AirplaneOther Contact: Pamelawell@aol.com

The flight into Corfu airport can be quite scarey as there are hills either side of the runway as well as water at the one end. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 The plane that took us from
Schiphol to Corfu by Jerelis
For Iris, this was her second plane flight. So she is quite turning into a professional in it :-). Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Checking in for our
journey to Corfu. by Jerelis
General:
Bring books, old favourite toys and new surprise toys. Do remember that balls are not a good idea as they can end up anywhere! Our best buys were definitely books, especially sticker books are great! They can peel the stickers off, are glossy, have thick pages to turn easy, have bright colours and come in endless subjects. They're a nice break from the other books your child might be tired of, too. Put aside fears of setting poor eating habits, and bring on the snacks! We told Iris: “Welcome to the world of boredom eating."
Plane:
If your child is big ask for earplugs as soon as you board the aircraft. Make use of them for take-off then save them for landing as the crew may not have any fresh ones left by then. Also let them eat candies, this helps the kids tremendously if they don't know how to pop their ears.
Car:
Toy bars meant for stroller use are a big help in the car, as they often feature toys plus a snack cup, and are big and easy for you to grab from the front seat for refills. During the car trip it’s always a good idea to play a game and sing some songs. It sounds rather easy, but it does work!
Finally:
We only have one last statement! Just do it! Don’t be afraid that it might go wrong. We have learned this, because we have been travelling with Iris from the beginning. She was only 6 weeks young when we had our first short vacation and stayed in a hotel. Iris has been used to it rather fast and (maybe because of it) has always been an easy kid to get along with.

 Corfu, Greece by Zandra
Just like on most other Greek islands, also on Corfu there are shops/stands in every bigger resort, where one can rent scooters/motorbikes. Many of the hotels also rent out their own ones. My experience is that the prices don't vary that much, but it can still be worth looking around for a good deal, especially if you're planning to rent the scooter for more than a couple of days. The longer you rent it, the cheaper the daily rate will be. Just remember to buy a good map of Corfu, and off you go! Have fun! Theme: Other

 Ipsos bay by spree4three
There is also a great bus system in Corfu, with many busses going everywhere...
From Corfu town you have the main line #7 bus ( blue bus) going up north for Gouvia, Ipsos, Pirgi, Dassia.
And the green busses going everywhere for really cheap...
But you won't be alone in these buses..
The most easy way to travel is to rent a scooter but watch out for greek scoot riders...not really careful... ;o)
Enjoy!! Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

They have the "green" bus
or the 'blue" bus,depend where you want to go to,south or north ect.
Bus is cheap but not comfortable at all.
A bus each 1h15,but they are never on time.
There are also taxi,24/24,you can speak the price before getting in,and if you share the taxi with others you will pay less.
We pay between 15£ and 17£ to go back to the hotel from corfu town. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

The boat Minoen lines is, for all intensive purposes, a resort cruise ship. You do not have to pay for a room but it is recommended if you like to sleep. If you choose what is called deck passage, you can lounge around the boat or sleep on the floor or deck or wherever you like. My brothers and I got a four person room that cost us about 60 Euro a piece. Deck passage is free with your Eurail pass except during summer but the supplement is only a nominal fee. We actually bought our tickets five minutes before the ship left during peak season so in my opinion, I don't think reservations are absolutely necessary, but are recommended if you want a room. On board there is internet, multiple restaurants, a pool, multiple bars, a night club, bathrooms, a casino, a movie area, and a nice deck.
