Hi Susan, we used Noula at San Stefanos travel last time we went to San Stef and will be using her again in September.  Very reliable and not that expensive.

You can also email the local taxi driver Tassos who also owns & runs Kapetanios.  His email is info@kapetanioscorfu.com.

I agree with strogs, Noula (the owner of SS travel) is fantastic, she never lets us down, she will give you a fixed price whereas if you hail a taxi from the airport it will invariably cost you more!!

Have you thought about having a car in May and driving from and to the airport?  A car at that time will cost you around €170 for the week, which, after you take the cost of the taxi, makes it a relatively cheap vehicle to see other parts of the island at that time of year.  The local car hire firms can be booked through Noula or Valantis at car-hire-corfu [valantis@car-hire-corfu.com].  If you are reasonably confident driving it does give you the freedom to move around, especially if the day is a bit dull.

Snap with Noula!!

We booked a one way to the Romanza on our arrival last year, superb service, interesting and careful driver.

We just went and paid Noula on our 1st night 'downtown'

Last summer it was €65 from the airport taxi rank. Big Merc 300 series, no waiting, wall to wall leather inside, enough room for 5 a-side and beautiful air-con. Arrive in style!

If you book flight only with Thomsons, they will transfer you free, sometimes it can work out cheaper when you add the costs together, if budget is the main consideration.

When we go, in July 2011, Thomsons flight only return for both of us is £946.  We have booked on Easyjet the same flight dates, better flight times plus speedy boarding for £337.  Taxi fares are about £100, 2 ways.

What would you choose, Thomsons plus coach transfer for £946 or Easyjet with taxi transfers for £437?

Are you getting free transfers?, I think not!!

Hi Susan, we booked a taxi via the Romanza, we e mailed hotel for advice as we booked direct with them last year. 50E each way, taxi driver waiting with sign at arrivals. Local taxi driver I think, friend of Romanza owners. Enjoy your holiday!
