Taxi & Transfers from Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport (CFU) to Dassia

How to Get from Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport to Dassia

Corfu’s only airport hugs the lagoon beside Kerkyra town, while laid-back Dassia stretches along a curving bay 13 kilometres north-east. The distance is short, yet a wrong choice can stretch ten breezy minutes into a hot half-hour of luggage juggling. Below you’ll find four clear ways to move: public bus, shared shuttle, a taxi from Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport to Dassia, and a pre-booked taxi-transfer. Times, fares and suitcase tips appear in plain English so you pick and go.

By Public Bus

Step out of Arrivals and board Blue Bus 15; it rolls to San Rocco Square in roughly ten minutes and costs € 1.20—exact coins only. Luggage slips under the seat for free, though mid-morning coaches often pack tight when charter flights land.

At San Rocco hop on Blue Bus 7 towards Ipsos. Another € 1.20 buys a fifteen-minute seaside run that stops at Dassia on request. In perfect sync the journey lasts 30–35 minutes door-to-door and keeps the cost under € 3; when timetables clash you could wait a full half-hour for the transfer.

By Shared Shuttle

Hotels and sites like 12Go sell eight-seat minivan rides for € 12–16. A rep meets you at Exit A, tags bags, and as soon as the last name ticks the list the van glides north past Gouvia Marina before looping into the resort road—about twenty minutes if traffic behaves. Two cases travel free, surfboards need prior note.

By Taxi

Beige-and-blue cabs idle beside the glass terminal; the meter clicks on at € 3.60, and the daytime fare to Dassia stays between € 25 and € 30 with luggage and airport supplement already baked in. Drivers take the national road toward Tzavros, then skirt the coast; expect 15–18 minutes unless scooters create stop-and-go bends.

Ride-hailing apps such as Bolt mirror that price and issue digital receipts—handy when friends split the fare. Each boot swallows two big suitcases plus hand bags, and payment by card or cash both work, though small notes speed good-byes.

If you land after midnight the fare bumps roughly twenty percent, a premium many travellers accept for the comfort of rolling straight to their hotel rather than wrestling timetables.

Private Transfer

Booking a transfer from Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport to Dassia with Kiwitaxi fixes the price at about € 32 for an economy car. Your driver greets you inside arrivals, wheels bags to the vehicle and drives off immediately—no queue, no meter surprises.

The taxi-transfer from Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport to Dassia covers the 13-km hop in around 15 minutes. The service includes chilled water, a free child seat on request, and 60 minutes of waiting time, so flight delays never inflate the price.

Vehicle Classes for Your Transfer

• Economy – neat boot for one large case and two cabin bags
• Comfort – extra knee space plus room for two 23 kg suitcases
• Family Van – six seats, sliding door, stroller stands upright
• Business – leather trim, USB ports, quieter cabin for quick emails

Transfer with Children

Greek law demands approved restraints for everyone under 12. Enter ages when booking and the correct seat arrives at no extra cost, saving you from lugging bulky plastic down the baggage belt.

Transfer with Pets

Cats ride in carriers; dogs travel on a short leash with muzzle. Mention crate size so the operator sends a boot that closes first try—most drivers welcome polite paws, but like a warning first.

What to See in Dassia

Dassia Beach offers a long shingle-sand mix where the Ionian stays calm even when the Meltemi howls elsewhere. Loungers cost around € 8, yet towel territory spreads wide near the pine trees at the north end. Early morning you can watch fishermen haul octopus pots beside the wooden jetty, while by noon tavernas grill bream and pour carafes of chilled rosé.

Watersports huts rent paddle-boards and clear kayaks—€ 15 an hour includes a dry bag—letting you glide over sea grass meadows where rainbow wrasse flicker in green-blue light. A short stroll inland finds boutiques selling kumquat liqueur and olive-wood spoons, cheaper than tourist shops in Kerkyra.

Stay for sunset and the sky blushes behind the mainland mountains. Order a final espresso freddo and listen as waves tickle the pebbles; island time slows, your taxi fare forgotten and one comma misplaced somewhere along the shore.
