Airport Transfers To The Resort

Travelling on my own and being a pensioner, every penny counts. I looked for a cheap but reliable transfer, corfuairporttransfer.com/  quoted €10 for each direction and Travel Republic £22 return. Then a good friend notified me that Travel Republic were having a JANUARY SALE. I was able to book a return transfer in MAY for £13.28. No this is not a TYPO, I will have to contact the Lord Travel desk at arrivals and all being well get my connection to the resort. I hope that this post is of interest to others. It is worth checking out prices to other resorts.

There have been a few questions raised as to if my transfer would drop me off in a central location in the resort or to an actual location. My booking confirms an actual location for both outward and return transfers.

Hi last year there was a coach bus that took you to Paleokastritsa for the day. I don't know if it will operate this year, but would be worth finding out! (As it saves a bus into town then the local bus from the green bus station). Takes less than an hour each way. Paleokastritsa has many attractions, and a visit to the cave/grotto by boat or up to the monastery is well worth seeing .K

Think that it might be a special bus arranged through a local travel shop. If you want to know anything, the best way is to ask GEORGE at GeeBees, he is sure to know. If it happens in the resort, he is sure to know.

In 36 hours I will be testing just how reliable my transfer arranged by Travel Republic from the airport to my resort was. I will post my report after arrival. 

If you're lucky enough and no one is going to your resort then they (Lord) will put you in a taxi, over the years and on lot's of occasions when we booked with Travel Republic we have been put in a taxi to Kassiopi at no extra cost, But we have also been put on a old banger of a coach hand painted Hippy style with the words Groovy man emblazend on both sides.

We were a laughing stock when it picked us up from the Kassimi. It certainly turned heads

I find the transfers good value for money, but you risk a ridiculous wait not being part of a major package/resort operation.  Last time, from landing, it was over six hours before I got to Sidari. They made you wait hours on the coach for more flights to come in, then made so many stops for just two or three people at a time it became a farce for a full coach. There were as many people getting off at each stop just to use a hotel's toilet as there were actually disembarking to stay there.

This time I'll taxi to the bus depot and ride the bus from there. I can't see it costing any more than a transfer. Even with a package tour, going to Paleokastritsa, I've had the hour-long diversion up to Dassia added on far too many times; once, even just to drop off some bags that had arrived on a later flight.

I've seen contracts that specify a particular payment for an 'express' shuttle with no more than two stops.  I'm pretty certain that means nothing when you're actually out there.
