Planning a holiday on the beautiful island of Corfu?

Whether you’re arriving by ferry from the Greek mainland or flying into Corfu International Airport, picking up your hire car gives you the freedom to head straight to Ermones without waiting for buses or paying for expensive taxis. The drive from the airport takes around 30 minutes, and once you’re behind the wheel, the whole island becomes your playground.
Why Hire a Car in Ermones?
Ermones might be a small resort, but its location is brilliant for exploring western Corfu. Without a car, you’re limited to the immediate area or dependent on infrequent bus services that might not take you where you want to go. With your own vehicle, you can visit the famous Paleokastritsa monastery, discover secluded beaches that tourists rarely find, and explore traditional mountain villages where time seems to stand still.
The beauty of hiring a car in Ermones is the flexibility it gives you. Fancy a sunrise at Glyfada Beach? No problem. Want to drive to Corfu Town for an evening meal? Go for it. You set your own schedule, stop wherever catches your eye, and create memories that simply aren’t possible when you’re tied to public transport timetables.
We understand that narrow Greek island roads can seem daunting, which is why we recommend compact or small cars for Ermones. These vehicles are perfect for navigating winding mountain roads and squeezing into those tiny parking spots near hidden beaches. Our fleet includes economical options that are great value for money, along with comfortable mid-size vehicles if you’re travelling with family or lots of luggage.
All our hire cars come with comprehensive insurance, and we’re proud to offer free cancellation on most bookings. Life can be unpredictable, so we believe you shouldn’t be penalised if your plans change. Plus, with our no hidden fees policy, the price you see is the price you pay — no nasty surprises when you pick up your keys.
Exploring Corfu from Ermones
Ermones sits in an ideal position for exploring the best of Corfu. Drive north and you’ll reach Paleokastritsa, one of the island’s most photographed spots with its stunning bays and historic monastery. The roads wind through olive groves and offer breathtaking views across the Adriatic Sea.
Head south from Ermones and you’ll discover Glyfada Beach, popular with locals and visitors alike, plus smaller coves where you can escape the crowds. Continue further and you’ll reach Corfu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its Venetian architecture, narrow alleyways, and vibrant atmosphere. Parking can be tricky in the old town, so consider arriving early or using the designated car parks on the outskirts.
For those who love driving, the interior of Corfu offers fantastic routes through traditional villages like Lakones and Makrades. Stop for fresh seafood at a family-run taverna, sample local Corfiot wine, and experience genuine Greek hospitality away from the main tourist strips.

Do I need a car in Ermones?
While Ermones has local amenities, a hire car is highly recommended for exploring Corfu properly. Public buses run on limited schedules, and many of the island’s best beaches and villages aren’t accessible without your own transport. Taxis can be expensive for regular trips, so hiring a car offers both convenience and great value.
What type of car is best for Ermones?
We recommend compact or small cars for Ermones and Corfu in general. The island’s roads can be narrow and winding, particularly in mountain villages and near beaches. A smaller car makes parking easier and handles the terrain confidently. If you’re travelling with family or lots of luggage, consider a mid-size vehicle with good air conditioning.
Can I pick up a hire car at Corfu Airport for Ermones?
Yes, picking up your hire car at Corfu International Airport is the most convenient option. The airport is only about 30 minutes from Ermones by car, and you can drive straight to your accommodation without waiting for transfers. Airport pickups are available from early morning until late evening, depending on the supplier.
