Getting about
How to get about in Corfu starting at The Old Cypress Tree
The number 2B bus leaves from the bus stop which is 25 metres from my gate. There are buses into the centre of town approximately a few times a day and the journey takes 12 minutes to San Rocco Square. It costs 1.50 euros if you buy a ticket on the bus, but 1.20 euros if you buy tickets in San Rocco Square.
There is a bus that goes from the port to the airport (#15) via San Rocco Square and it leaves from the port/airport every half hour. It takes about 40 minutes to the airport. The port is a 15 minute walk from my house.
