For all those wanting to know when the buses SHOULD run - this link will provide the timetable for Corfu. Don't forget it's on GMT (Greek Maybe Time) so be at the bus stop early and expect the bus to be late.

Suggest you print it off and take it with you.

Hi Corfiotbabe

I have only seen the blue and green buses. I can't remember seeing any red ones, i might be wring though.

The blue bus goes from Corfu Town to Ipsos passing through Gouvia and Dassia. I am not sure where exactly the green bus goes although some go down south of the island and near Kassiopi i think.

Just like to add the following pointer in relation to the link. It states you have to purchase your tickets before getting on the bus from various locatons. We have always purchased our tickets actually on the bus, and you do not have to by a return. Well that at least is the case on the No7 bus, Kontokali to Corfu Town. It is a good service, not necesarily on time, but near enough, and at the frequency according to the time table. It is quite an experience really, specially if you have to stand, hanging off the wrist straps.

Go by bus if you can.

Best Wishes.

Hi Sailor

We always pay for our tickets while on the bus. Infact i was not aware you were meant to pay before boarding the bus until i read the link.

Are the buses regular? With the Olympics do you suggest buying before getting to Corfu? A little nervous about getting a seat on the bus.

Hi Eve

Do you mean for bus journeys to Corfu Town etc or buses to Athens for the Olympics?

Hi there.

The buses to Athens, via the ferry, are I believe, one a day there and one back. The journey takes virutally all day. I know the Athens to Corfu leaves in the morning early, and gets to Corfu Bus Station late evening. I will see if I can find some information that confirms this

Best Wishes

The place to buy tickets before getting on are, I believe, relating to Corfu Town.

From Gouvia we have travelled on the Green bus to Paleo and the one to Kassiopi (getting off at Kendroma for the stroll down to Agni). Tickets have always been bought on the bus as singles but at 80 cents or so it's not exactly a great expense.

The blue bus that runs from Ipsos through Gouvia to Corfu Town can resemble a cattle truck around 9 - 10am in my experience with people packed in tight in the aisles but you get there and cheaply too. Get to the main stops early when coming back to ensure a seat - though I give mine up to ladies and the elderly.

Hi all,

I have a close friend in San Stef who was the owner and driver of bus No.1 a fact he was always very pround of. With regard to the number of people he could get on the bus he would always say that you start off with a jerk and accelerate hard to get everyone packed down the back so that there would be room at the front for the next lot. He claimed to have over 30 standing sometimes!!

Roll on next Wednesday.

I think you will find that there are 3 buses daily from Corfu to Athens. Try www.athensguide.com/schedules/busterminala.htm for timetables

If that's the bus to San Stef NW I can vouch for that. I've been on it when people were sitting three to a seat and on another occaision had to have a child (not mine) sitting on my lap for most of the journey when the only other option was for her to stand for an hour.

Hi Jane b,

Thats the bus. Last year when we were coming from the airport to San Stef, in the taxi we followed one of the buses at rush hour time and there was a young lad in the back of the bus spreadeagled like a Garfield in the rear window it was so full.

I think that Corfiot women have the sharpest elbows on earth when it comes to getting on the bus in Corfu town. I have the bruises to prove it!

5 days and counting

Don't forget, when you spot the bus you want make an effort to flag it down.

DO NOT ASSUME it will stop. I have seen buses sail past nervous/shy potential passengers in Gouvia - where they thought it would automatically pull over into the layby.

Hi All.

It may get crowded on some of the buses (Blue in particular), and I love the post on the driver jerking forward to make more room. We all laugh, but it is true. It is great fun on the journey to Corfu Town from Gouvia/Kontokali, it is worth it just for the experience. However, one can be full of relief when you get off. Part of the Corfu Experience.

Best Wishes and Happy (Bus) Journeys.

Hi Sailor

We also found the blue buses were a bit crowded. It did not cause a problem but sometimes it did get quite hot on there with a lot of different smells.
