Corfu Port Authority (CPA)
The Port of Corfu has a historical development path of 135 years and its gradual creation lies in temporarily covering the emerging needs of each era. The natural location of the island of Corfu, its commercial and economic activities, as well as the various socio-political developments in the wider region in recent years, also determine the activities of the main gateway for the movement of people and goods on the island, which is its port.
Thus, the development of the port of Corfu to date and its emerging prospects for the future, determine its role as a port of national importance more in the sectors of coastal shipping and tourist traffic and less in the sector of goods movement.
