4Corfu International Airport (CFU) – Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport
Corfu International Airport, also known as Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport, is one of Greece’s most picturesque airports and is renowned for its stunning runway approach. Located near Corfu Town, the airport sits alongside the Ionian Sea, with a landing approach that feels like flying over the water itself. The sensation of gliding just above the turquoise sea and landing on the narrow runway surrounded by water and lush green mountains is unforgettable.
One of the best places to watch planes arriving and departing is from the nearby Kanoni area, a popular vantage point where visitors can observe aircraft maneuvering against a backdrop of Corfu’s scenic coast. The airport’s close proximity to the historic and cultural sights of Corfu Town adds to its appeal, making it convenient and enchanting.
