How can I travel there from abroad (London, Paris, and other cities)?

Corfu has an international airport connected with many cities - mainly European - during the high season so it is quite easy to reach the island from other countries. Travelers starting their journey from Italy can also take a ferry from Ancona, Bari and Venice.
Alternatively, you can fly to a city with an international airport in mainland Greece, i.e. Athens, Preveza, or Thessaloniki, reach the seaside town of Igoumenitsa and take a ferry from there.

How can I travel there from Athens?

Flights from Athens are available all year round, so you can fly to Corfu anytime. Alternatively, since no port of Athens is connected to the island, you must reach Igoumenitsa in Epirus (Western Greece) and take a ferry from there, as this is the only way to reach Corfu from the mainland.

How can I travel there from Santorini, Mykonos, Kefalonia, and other islands?

The only islands connected with Corfu are Paxi and the Diapontian Islands (Mathraki, Othonoi, Ereikoussa). You can get from one island to another only by ferry.
