How Tickets & Payments Work

Buy Line 15 tickets at the automated machine or kiosk outside the terminal for €1.30. Drivers sell tickets onboard for a €1.70 - €2.00 surcharge. Taxis accept cards and cash.

Traveling with Suitcases

Line 15 buses have luggage racks; walking is only recommended for light backpackers due to lack of continuous sidewalks near the lagoon.

Arriving After Midnight

Line 15 runs until approximately 22:30. Taxis queue outside 24/7 for all scheduled flights.

Common Mistakes & Airport Scams to Avoid

  • Paying surcharge prices to the driver when the kiosk or ticket machine right outside the terminal sells the ticket for €1.30.
  • Due to the extremely short 3 km distance to Corfu Town, taxis have a minimum regulated fare (~€15-€20). Avoid freelance drivers soliciting inside the terminal.
