Transfer from airport to San Stefanos

[smudgum]

This will be our first trip to Corfu and we have chosen San Stefanos, partly through reading all the excellent reviews!  There are only two of us as it is our first holiday without our children.  We have booked our flights and accommodation (Hotel Athina) separately. 

So what should I do now, hire a car for the week from the airport or hire a taxi for the transfers? 

How much would we expect to pay for the taxi?

Car hire works out at about £140 for the week and would allow us to explore the island.  I think I would prefer to hire a car, if so can anyone recommend a company?

I hire a car. Most companies will meet you at the airport, this year I have booked with value cars - link - http://www.corfucarrentals.com/index.htm as they have received many recommendations on the forum. Make sure you get a good map though,those supplied by rental cos. can be pretty ropey. Contact <thecorfumap@ntlworld.com> for the best available. Enjoy your holiday.

Taxis from the airport will probably be in the region of €45 to €50 each way so to have a car for the week sounds like a good idea. Most will have your car at the airport for you. If having a taxi make sure you agree the price first.

Thanks for the rapid response!  I love the fact that you are all part of a lively helpful forum - good sign for San Stefanos!

We do have sat nav (TomTom) with maps of Europe - will it work instead of maps?

Don't see why not - but someone like Tonyc may know better.

Your tom tom should work in corfu if you have the european maps installed

Sorry, satnav will not work in Corfu, mine is a tom-tom. Greece is now available as an extra but is not part of Europe as far as they are concerned!

As non-drivers who associate buses with the journey to work, we always arrange transfers through Noula at San Stefano Travel. Really good service and to us well worth the money.

Most Companies are similar - check on line!! If you get £140 then go for it - I have posted comprensive directions on the Information Page, about the 3rd entry down, should help you, combined with a good map.
I am sure the TOM TOM info above is correct as well!!

Just remember to turn right at the T junction at the end of the airport road - or you may end up in Kavos!!!
