Corfu → Paxos
Corfu to Paxos runs three sailings a day in high season, a seasonal route rather than year-round service. Kerkyra Seaways operates both a fast option at 1h and a conventional boat at 2h45m. Wind risk is low, so this Ionian crossing rarely cancels, but with only three daily departures outside peak weeks, it is worth checking the schedule before planning a tight same-day return, especially in shoulder season when frequency thins.
Wind & disruption risk: Low · 52 km (28 nautical miles)
Ferry options
At the port
Ferries leave Corfu New Port, 2km from Corfu Town, and arrive at Gaios, Paxos's port and main town combined. Arrive 30 minutes ahead for the faster 1-hour Kerkyra Seaways sailing; the conventional boat takes nearly three hours but costs less. Both options are run by the same operator, so switching between them if plans change is straightforward at the port office.
