Please allow me to add that even though there may be many flights leaving from Athens Airport, going to Corfu, daily, the fact is, from my weak experience, the flights, at least prior to the huge tourist influx in July and August every year, are not really coordinated with flights incoming from other countries. Thus, although there may indeed be many flights during the day, in my experience, after 8 PM, there are few if any flights to Corfu until the next day. That was the point I was trying to make. There doesn't seem to be any coordination so that the traveler doesn't end up being stuck at Athens Airport for the entire night! And when one has already traveled for almost 20 hours just to get to Athens, this can be very discouraging. Of course, for people who fly only for a few hours (say, from the U.K.) to get to Athens, this is not that big a problem. But if one has already been in transit for 20 hours, this can be a nightmare. And it is not always easy to coordinate the myriad flights from the Western U.S. to Athens so that one arrives prior to the last flight to Corfu!
