Which terminal

Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport has one passenger terminal, so everyone comes out into the same arrivals area. That makes meeting simpler, and busier when several flights land together. Agree one exact spot in the hall.

Where to wait

Put the exact spot in your Greet. Your guest sees it on their phone from the moment they land at CFU, even without signal.

  • Inside the arrivals hall, a few metres back from the doors passengers come through.
  • At one landmark you can both name: a numbered exit, a café sign or the information desk.
  • Not right at the barrier, where everyone crowds and nobody can see past the first row.

Passport control and timing

Greece is in the Schengen area. Passengers on flights from other Schengen countries walk straight out with no passport check, often within 15 to 25 minutes. Flights from outside Schengen, including the UK, go through passport control first, which can add 20 to 60 minutes at busy times.

Kerkyra runs on Europe/Athens time. The clock at the top of this page shows the local time now.

A local welcome

Want the sign to feel local? "Καλώς ήρθατε" means welcome in Greek. Put it in the line above their name.
