==Transport== [[File:Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport in Corfu.jpg|thumb|[[Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport]]]] [[File:Flying Dolphin in Corfu.jpg|thumb|The Flying Dolphin [[hydrofoil]] ferry near Corfu harbour. Vido island is in the foreground with the [[Albania]]n coastline in the background.]] The island is linked by two highways: GR-24 in the northwest and GR-25 in the south. *Greek National Road 24, Cen., NW, Corfu – Palaiokastritsa *Greek National Road 25, Cen., S, SE, Corfu – Lefkimi Corfu has ferry services both by traditional ferries to Gaios in the island of [[Paxoi]] and as far as [[Patras]] and both traditional ferries and advanced retractable [[airfoil]], [[hydrodynamic]]-flow, high-speed ferries called "Flying Dolphins" to [[Igoumenitsa]] and [[Sarandë]] in neighbouring [[Albania]]. The small port of Lefkimmi is also to be found at the southernmost tip of the island on Cape Kavos, offering a [[ferry boat|ferry]] service to the mainland. The [[Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport]], named after [[Ioannis Kapodistrias]], a Corfiot and European diplomat, and the first governor of the independent Greek state, is located around three kilometres south of Kerkyra, just half a kilometre north of Pontikonisi. The approach and landing, in a northeasterly direction, afford passengers aerial views of ''Pontikonisi'' and Vlaheraina Monastery, also taking in the hills of ''Kanoni'', as the runway employed for landing lies a few hundred metres from these local landmarks. The airport offers domestic flights from [[Olympic Airlines]] (OA 600, 602 and 606), and [[Aegean Airlines]] (A3 402, 404 and 406). Seaplanes, Air Sea Lines, a Greek seaplane operator, offers scheduled flights from Corfu to Paxoi, Lefkada, Ithaki, Kefalonia, [[Ioannina]], Patras and [[Brindisi]] in Italy. The buses to the main places on the island run about six times a day between the city and Glyfada, Sidari, Paleokastritsa, Roda and Acharavi, Lefkimmi, Lefkimmi and Piri. Other coaches drive up to twice a day to Athens and Thessaloniki. City buses run through the city to the Airport, Achilleion, Gouvia, Afra, Pelekas and some other places of interest. The [[Diapontia Islands]] are accessible by boat with regular services from Corfu port and Agios Stefanos Avliotes and by ferry from Corfu city port.
