Where is the Corfu Town cruise port?
Ships dock alongside at Corfu's New Port (Neo Limani), the ferry and commercial harbour north-west of the Old Town; tendering is not normally needed.
Depending on the berth, a free port shuttle or a 5–15 minute walk takes you to the passenger terminal, which has ATMs, car rental, duty-free and Wi-Fi.
The Old Town is about 3 km away: a flat 40-minute waterfront walk, a short blue city bus ride (lines 15 and 2b) or a taxi.

About Corfu Town
Corfu Town (Kerkyra) is the capital of Corfu, the green, mountainous northernmost of Greece's Ionian Islands, just off the coasts of Albania and mainland Greece.
Its UNESCO-listed Old Town was shaped by four centuries of Venetian rule and later French and British administration, with two Venetian fortresses, narrow lanes, the arcaded Liston and the large Spianada square. Beyond town are the Achilleion palace and the cliff-backed bays of Paleokastritsa.
Corfu is one of Greece's busiest cruise ports, with calls year-round.
