The port of Corfu is located inside the city of Corfu, at Akrotiri Sidero, near the bay of Garitsa and is divided into the old and the new port.

The new port of Corfu, built west of the old one, is the port that serves passenger ships and cruise ships, as well as cargo ships that moor on the island, while the old port is used by sailboats and pleasure boats.

The port of Corfu is easily accessible both day and night due to its excellent lighting.

Half a mile outside the harbor is a small islet, the island of Vidos, and the Lazaretto, 2 miles to the south-west. A large number of rocky islets lie off Cape Sidero, but all are charted and experienced sailors have no trouble.

The port facilities are located on the northern coast of Akrotiri.

The port of Corfu has a ferry connection with Igoumenitsa, Ancona, Bari, Trieste and Venice, while it also accepts small ships from Albania and Croatia.

The port of Corfu offers a range of services to pleasure boats, such as fuel and water, repair and maintenance facilities, rescue and firefighting equipment. Many smaller ships and boats depart from the port of Corfu that take locals and tourists to Paleokastritsa, Kavos, and other capes of the island.
