Why rent a car in Corfu Town?

Corfu Town (Kerkyra) is the UNESCO-listed capital of the island — Venetian fortresses, French-style arcades on the Liston, narrow British-era kantounia and the buzz of Spianada Square. It is the natural arrival hub if you reach the island by ferry from Igoumenitsa or Patras, and a great base for short stays before heading to the beaches.

Corfu Town itself is best explored on foot — the old town is largely pedestrian and parking inside the walls is impossible. A rental car becomes essential the moment you want to see the rest of the island: Achilleion Palace (15 minutes south), Mon Repos and Pontikonisi (10 minutes), or the western beaches of Glyfada and Pelekas (25 minutes). All within an easy day-trip.

We deliver the car to your Corfu Town hotel or to the new port (the cruise/ferry terminal). Pickup directly from Corfu Airport is also free — handy if you fly in and stay a couple of nights in town before exploring further. Free parking lots exist at the new port and along Garitsa Bay if you want to leave the car while wandering the old town.

Should I rent a small or larger car for Corfu Town?

Smaller is better for the narrow town streets and parking. A Toyota Aygo, Kia Picanto or Hyundai i10 is ideal. If you plan day-trips with luggage, a Cat C-D (Citroen C3 / Peugeot 208 / Fiat Tipo) gives you more room without sacrificing manoeuvrability.
