Arillas 2015...is it your first visit? Is there anything you would like to know?

Val n Bill · February 03, 2015, 04:31:05 PM

We have done the airport to Arillas once with Thomson in under one hour. Mind you it was about 3am after a delayed flight and one stop at San George pick up point (5mins) then straight on to the Mathraki.

I would say though two hours is nearer the mark. The longest was few years go when we travelled with Thomas Cook, we went everywhere else in Corfu first.

Book a taxi to pick you up at the airport....45mins.

Corfu taxis very reliable, 100 euro return. Used them for the last 3 years. Back in resort in 40 mins. You can book on line and Dimitris will reply straight back.

I know I could e mail and ask but does anyone know if they do minibuses ?

I know Arkokal Travel and Olga both do minibus pick ups from the Airport, might be worth contacting them for prices.

We use Arkokal for our family and guests. It is their own minibus, no middleman fees, reliable and economical.... http://arkokal.gr/

We also use Arkokal every year.

40 mins sounds good by taxi, 2015 will be our first year not being Thomas Cook. Sometimes it feels like 40 before the bus engine goes into gear.

I really wish there was some consistency with the package transfers. Lewis and his girlfriend are staying at the Akti which had the transfer included but at the same time he is used to a 45 min taxi transfer so he doesn't know whether to pay for one anyway.

Jo, as you know its hit and miss we have found that with TC it's usualy a round trip in July and about 90 min from airport. if direct around 50 min. We tend to ask the driver or rep before the coach sets off and then decide if to take the coach or get a taxi from the airport. After all it may save 50 euro

Truth · February 04, 2015, 02:22:18 PM

Have used San Stephanos Travel in the past but was just wondering if I could save a few euros elsewhere. Used Olgas once and it didn't , shall we say , go quite to plan even though I have been reliably informed it had nothing to do with Olga herself and she did refund us some of the fare

Eileen · February 04, 2015, 02:32:25 PM

Book direct with the local family taxi business in Kavadades. Very reliable, we use them all the time...

suntransfers.com offer a good deal on mini-buses.

There are 7 of us travelling so we have booked an 8 seater. Cost is 105.40 Euros inc. tax.
Driver waits at arrival gate with name card.

I think thats a bargain!

Eileen · February 04, 2015, 08:33:21 PM

Arkokal offer airport minibus airport transfers at a reasonable price. It's been 18 months since I personally last used them but it was less than 90 euros for 7 of us...the price will have gone up. I will post an updated price when they're released nearer the beginning of the season.

I think it was the same last year Eileen, when my family came out to see us last year Arkokal charged 90 euros for 8 people, if more than 9 people it works out another 10 euros per person.

Definitely still a bargain then

As well as being cheaper than 2 taxis for 8 people, it's also nice for groups to travel and arrive at the accommodation together.
