The fastest I did it in a taxi with "mad-George" driving was 38 mins!!
The Bus if you mean transfer coach takes anything from about an 55 mins to 1 hour if straight there - - -
Plus it all depends on which of 3 different alternative routes they take and how many drop-off's on the way to your place.
My worst Journey with Thompsons took 1 hour 40 mins, multi-drops - but just over the Hour is average.
I think the Local Bus takes about 1 hr. 30 mins if I remember correctly as it stops a lot.
It always takes a while as it has to go over the ''Mountain'' to get there and the journey can get slowed down on the roads there.
Hope this helps

Our recent experiences with the transfer coach have been anywhere between 1.5 hrs ansd 3 hours plus. The latter being the excetion to the normal rule. These times can vary so much as Tony says depending if the coach has to drop at any other village first and also if you are first or last off at San Stefanos. Where we stay at Teresa we are usually one of the last but one of the first on the return journey. The return journey can be horrendous.

I agree - it depends on your luck! Last year our coach went straight to San Stef. 1 hr 15 mins - the return was beset by severe traffic hold-ups at the traffic lights in the village coming down the Mountain. Never worked out what caused it - but got to the airport with an hour to spare.
I think 90% of the time it runs smoothly.
One transfer a few years back went via San Georges bay, arrillas and Stef, with multi drops, took almost 2 hours.
We just take it as it comes and try to enjoy the ride - mind you everyone leaving has a long face!!

Watch out Tony, I know these girls. They'll meet you, seem ever so nice but I assure you they will pick up on all your little idiosyncrasies, multiply them and throw them right back at you in full view of an expectant world. I strongly advise that when you undergo your transfer you do it naked bar an small real leaf, suggest a rose leaf strategically placed sans thorns obviously. This way they will have no ammunition to use against you. Not much anyway! May I also helpfully suggest you wear a Venetian carnival mask and opera glasses. Where you wear the mask is totally up to you but it could be advisable to wear it in Corfu.

Seriously though if you don't like coach travel I would suggest a taxi transfer as it can be a bit horrendous with all the stopping and starting. For some reason I am always ok travelling by coach to San Stef but usually get a bit green around the gills on the return journey. One year was so bad I was as very sick in the airport after just managing to get off the coach in time. Lucky that as I think they charge you for cleaning up if sick on the coach.

Seriously, if anyone feels sick on the bus, take quells seasick pills with you.
Take one first and they really work.
Failing that take a carrier bag - not tescos as they have holes in them!
I am the worlds worst sailor and always feel sick on a boat - but they do work and don't knock you out either.
They suppress the vomit reflex quite well - I know - Linda made me do a Cruise in the Caribbean - and not a chunder in sight!!
No Don - not your kind of cruising!!

Good choice Paul n Karen. We stay at Teresa every year but always go end August beginning September. If you need any info on Teresa or indeed San Stefanos just ask.
