Corfu and Mykonos are among the most popular islands in Greece. The first is known for its Italian-style architecture, the beaches with crystal-clear waters and lush greenery and of course Corfu Town, the World Heritage Site of UNESCO.
The second is the epitome of lavishness and entertainment, with fully organized beaches with golden sand and azure waters hosting world-class beach restaurants and clubs. Plus, Mykonos has one of the best Choras in the Cyclades and an arid landscape of impeccable beauty.
Can you combine both? The truth is that Mykonos is located far away from Corfu, as they belong to different island complexes (Mykonos in Cyclades in Aegean Sea and Corfu in the Ionian Islands in Western Greece).
However, there are some possible routes from Corfu to Mykonos that give you the opportunity to visit both islands.
Let’s see the best travel options between Corfu and Mykonos to live a unique island-hopping experience!
