How to reach Paxos from Corfu

To reach Paxos from Corfu, there are several transport options that guarantee a comfortable and pleasant journey. The most common option is to take one of the ferries or hydrofoils, which depart regularly from the port of Corfu. The ferry trip takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the type of boat and weather conditions.

The shipping company Joy Cruises offers frequent services during the summer months, when tourist demand is highest. It is advisable to booking tickets in advance, especially if the departure is in high season, to secure a seat on board. 

How to get to Paxos by car

To reach Paxos by car, it is necessary to follow a route that combines driving and sea travel. The ideal starting point is Corfu, a larger island that is easily accessible from mainland Greece. If you are travelling from Italy, you can take a ferry from ports such as Ancona, Bari or Brindisi to the port of Corfu. Once in Corfu by car, one must head to the port of Lefkimmi or to the main port of Corfu town. From there, one must board a Joy Cruises ferry or hydrofoil to Paxos.

It is important to note that vehicle ferries are less frequent than passenger-only ferries, so planning arrival and departure times carefully is essential. If you need help and want detailed information, please contact our Ferry Office.
