Paxos lies a short way south of Corfu, and the crossing between them is one of the gentler interisland hops in the Ionian. For much of the route the boat runs in the lee of Corfu's own coastline before the final open stretch across to Paxos, so it rarely feels like a rough passage even when there is some wind about. Two very different services cover the route: a fast catamaran that gets you across quickly, and a slower conventional ferry that takes its time -- check the schedule box above to see which is sailing when you want to travel.
Departures build through the summer, with sailings spaced through the day at the height of the season and a noticeably quieter timetable either side of it. That makes Corfu to Paxos workable both as a day trip from Corfu Town and as the main way in if you're staying on Paxos itself -- with a good spread of crossings on offer in high season, you're rarely locked into a single departure time.

Tips for the Corfu–Paxos Ferry
- Lightning storms are possible in spring and autumn; they are usually short-lived and rarely affect ferry operations, but can cause brief delays at loading.
- Keep valuables – wallet, passport, phone – in a small day bag you carry on board; never leave them in checked luggage or in your car on the car deck.
- Evening arrivals into a lit island harbour are particularly beautiful; consider timing a crossing to arrive at dusk if the schedule allows.
- If you are leaving luggage unattended on a ferry, remove all valuable items and do not leave your bag in an isolated or unsupervised area.
- Quick-dry travel towels pack much smaller than conventional towels and are worth the investment if you are covering multiple islands.

Yes, particularly if you want to reach beaches and villages away from the main resorts, since the island is one of the largest Ionian islands and buses and taxis only cover the popular routes well. Terrain is hilly in places, so a car with reasonable power helps, and petrol stations thin out in rural areas, so fill up when you can. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.
