Corfu Ionian Islands, Greece Travel Guide
Corfu’s public transportation system relies entirely on buses. Two main services operate: Blue Buses for local routes within Corfu Town and immediate suburbs, and Green Buses for long-distance routes across the island, connecting Corfu Town with major towns, villages, and beaches.
