By Ferry:
If you are travelling by ferry there are crossings from Venice. Sail down the Grand Canal and admire the sites. You can also catch a ferry from Ancona, Bari or Brindisi in Italy. The two latter ports are nearest to Corfu and are therefore shorter crossings. The port is about 2Km away from the town centre.
If you stop at Igoumenitsa there is a frequent ferry connection to Corfu every day from 5am to 10pm, reaching the island in about 2 hours.
