ItalianoThe Company
Kerkyra Lines started its journey in passenger shipping in 2010 by introducing its first vessel on the Corfu – Igoumenitsa line.
Its innovative commercial policy allowed it to establish itself as the dominant company with the largest fleet in Corfu within a few years.
Kerkyra Lines now operates on the Corfu – Igoumenitsa, Igoumenitsa – Paxos, Corfu – Paxos, and Corfu – Diapontian Islands lines.
The company’s goal is to continuously develop and upgrade its fleet to promote the growth of Corfu, as it is a company with purely Corfiot interests. In recent years, it has significantly contributed to increasing the number of visitors to our island, as the frequent departures, mainly with fast and closed-type vessels, combined with favorable prices, make Corfu a competitive destination.
Historical Overview
The closed-type, two way vessel “NIKOLAOS,” fully renovated, starts its trips on the Corfu – Igoumenitsa line. It soon gained a large following and established itself on the line.
The beloved Corfiot ship joins the Kerkyra Lines fleet, offering speed and safety under all weather conditions, and excellently serves the connection between Corfu, Paxos, and Igoumenitsa.
The company integrates the open-type vessel “KERKYRA” into its fleet, which remains the fastest open-type ship on the line.
This year marks a milestone for Kerkyra Lines, as it integrates “KERKYRA EXPRESS” into its fleet. With a speed of 17 knots, it becomes the fastest ship on the line and the number one choice for passengers.
In April 2017, the company’s newest acquisition, the open-type “ALKINOOS,” starts operating on the Corfu – Igoumenitsa line. Its large capacity for passengers and vehicles significantly increased the transport capacity of the line.
In July 2017, the open-type vessel “MENEKRATIS” also joins the company’s fleet.
Kerkyra Lines, wishing to carry out social work and contribute to the essential service of the Diapontian Islands’ remote line, purchases the closed-type vessel “EVDOKIA,” which starts its trips on the Diapontian Islands line, upgrading the connection between them and Corfu and contributing to the development of the islands.
The ship “DORIEUS” is transferred to the company and, after a complete conversion and renovation, is reintroduced to passengers as “CORFU SPIRIT.” Another fast, closed-type, two way vessel is added to the route schedules.
Kerkyra Lines’ hydrofoil begins its trips in June 2023 on the Corfu – Paxos route, enhancing the connection between the two islands with a travel time of just 55 minutes.
The closed-type vessel “IONIAN EXPRESS” arrives in Greece from Japan. It is still in the process of conversion and is expected to start its trips in the summer of 2025. With a speed of 19 knots, it will complete the Corfu – Igoumenitsa line in one hour. With its large capacity, it will be a true gift for Corfu.
