1) BY TAXI or MINIBUS (i) taxi
The easiest way to come to Kassiopi and to Theofilos Studios & Apartments is certainly by taxi. You can easily find a taxi in Corfu even in the highest season (end of July – end of August) without having to pre-arrange a booking. Just outside the terminal building of the airport, a long taxi rank is located - 24hours/day - waiting to transfer you all around Corfu. The simplest thing to do is to get one of these. There are usually fixed fares for specific destinations, nevertheless it is always a good idea to confirm the fare before setting off.
Taxi Transfer Cost: Corfu Airport - Kassiopi: 55 euros (50 minutes transfer time). Transfer cost is for a one-way trip. The total cost for a ruturn trip to the airport is 110 euros.
Charges are payable to the driver upon arrival at the requested destination. Return taxi transfers can be booked in advance or anytime during the holiday by phone. The taxi picks up for the return journey approximately 3 hours before the check-in. The cost for a one way drive from Corfu Airport to Kassiopi shouldn't be more than 55 euros (Official 2011 rate). Each taxi is licensed to carry up to 4 people (including children) and luggage. Taxis are never shared with others unless you ask for it. In this case, the total cost should remain the shame (as long as the total number of guests is up to 4 people).
If you prefer to pre-book your taxi, then there will be no difference at the cost (55 euros). In this case a taxi driver will be waiting for you outside baggage claim holding a sign with your name and travel information. Since cost is the same whether you pre-book your taxi or not, the first choice is the most common one.

All the above companies offer premium services at the standard value. You can book with these companies easily directly via their sites or by phone.
ADVICE: Generally, when searching on internet for taxi or minibus rentals, be careful with some companies which charge very high rates without offering something different than all others do. If you need any help with your transfer arrangements, please do not hesitate to contact us.
(ii) minibus
When your group is over 4 people or if you want to travel more comfortable in a larger vehicle, then the best idea is to book a minibus. Minibus transfer cost: Cost for 4 people: 55 euros (same as for a taxi) Cost for more than 4 people: approx. 5 - 15 euros/person per way (depending on the total number of guests) Transfer costs are one way from Corfu Airport to Kassiopi-Theofilos or vise versa. Suggested minibus transfers: FULVIA TRAVEL - Kassiopi travel agent Excellent service at a good rate Fulvia Travel also offers Half and Full day private services.

2) BY COACH/SHARED SHUTTLE
Shared shuttles will certainly cost you less than a taxi (only in case your group consists of 1, 2 or max 3 people) and offer you a very good service at a reasonable price. Cost: Approx. 18 - 28 euros per person for a return journey. If your groups consists of 4 people, then the cost of a shared transfer could be higher than that of a taxi so be careful to chose what is best for you. The estimated journey time from Corfu Airport to Kassiopi with a shared shuttle is 2 hours. The only disandvantage is that shared transfers are not available to private addresses which means that these can not drop passengers directly at the accommodation but can instead drop you at the nearest central point e.g. Kassiopi square (300 metres from Theofilos) or, ideally, just outside Seasons bar - Internet cafe (100 metres from Theofilos). The good thing though is that Theofilos Studios & Apartments are only 1 minute walking to the central square and the bus station so there is no problem with that at all.
Various sites can be found on internet for coach transportation. Most of the travel companies which offer flight tickets, also offer couch transfers. To get an idea, please have a look here:

DRIVING TO KASSIOPI - SOME BASIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DRIVER Corfu Town (Airport) – Kassiopi: 36 km After you leave the airport, turn right. After a couple of minutes you will be at the beginning of Garitsa Bay and the sea will be on your right. Follow the main street and after you pass the gate of the castle, the square etc, you will soon pass by the central port of Corfu island. Keep driving on the main street until you see signs directing you "to Kassiopi' and other central resorts. Follow the signs and in about an hour you will be at Kassiopi. There is no way you will be lost as northeast side of Corfu is the most popular destination on the island. A few meters after you enter Kassiopi, you will meet the local square of the village (look for supermarket SCONTO and fast food No 7 which are just on the square). At that point, turn LEFT, towards Kalamionas beach, the central beach of Kassiopi (and not ahead towards the harbour). In just a few seconds you will meet the pharmacy, café Out of The Blue and restaurant Castello. Turn RIGHT into the first road you meet after Castello restaurant. This small road which is opposite SEASONS BAR - NTERNET CAFE & GAMES, leads down towards the beach and to Theofilos Studios & Apartments. Drive into this road and at the end of it (about 100 metres distance) is the parking area of Theofilos Apartments. Theo or Vivi will be waiting for you there. It may sound complicated but in fact it's very, very simple.
