Heads Up
- 1. Ferries to pre-book: Kyllini↔Poros, Sami↔Pisaetos, Ithaca↔mainland, Igoumenitsa↔Corfu. In July/August book at least a week ahead with the car. Ferryhopper or the operator sites directly.
- 2. Car drop-off: Most major rental companies let you drop in Corfu with a one-way fee — confirm when booking in Athens, otherwise you're ferrying back.
- 3. Pace note: Days 6 and 7 are the heavy lift. Everything else is built around slow mornings, long lunches, and golden-hour light — the way Greece wants to be seen.
