To visit during the winter, you will need to fly via Athens as there are no direct flights to Corfu. Olympic airways fly daily from Heathrow to Athens and then to Corfu. The cost is a reasonable 260 pounds sterling return.

You may decide to spend a day or two in Athens (and why not) before heading for Corfu. If so read up on the Athens report. If you do not stay in Athens, then consider carefully your connection flights. Flying with Olympic (the Greek National carrier) is slightly more expensive that other operators (like EasyJet) but, you will only have a one hour or so wait at the airport until your connecting flight to Corfu (with the arrival times of EasyJet, you may have to wait as long as 5 hours!) Another bonus, is that with Olympic, you will not have to collect you luggage (and re-check in) at Athens as it will be automatically transferred for you.

 Christmas and Easter In Corfu

Christmas in Greece is over shadowed by Easter, but, over the years it has become a commercial success! Easter in Corfu is special and many Athenians come over to visit and join in.  For details about how the local Corfiots spend their festive time, click here
