Corfu is one of Greece's Ionian Islands, and a trip here rarely stays in one resort: a hotel in Ipsos, a beach at Agios Gordios, dinner in Paleokastritsa, and between them a rental car or scooter on narrow roads. Maps, messages to villa hosts, ferry timetables and menu translation all need internet from the moment you land at Kerkyra airport. An eSIM is handy because you install the profile at home and on the island you just switch data on.
This page is the quickest way to buy a travel eSIM for Corfu from 9 500 ₸. Pick a plan, pay online and install the digital SIM card at home before the flight — no passport and no queue at an airport kiosk.
The eSIM connects to local mobile networks, so you have data wherever they have coverage across Corfu.
Compared with roaming in Corfu, an eSIM is usually much cheaper for mobile data: the price of the package is fixed and known in advance. Your home number stays active on the main SIM for calls and SMS.
If your phone does not support eSIM, you can buy a regular physical SIM card with data for Corfu at a Funsim point of sale: at Almaty and Shymkent airports, or at our offices in Almaty — 130/1 Abay St and 1 Pozharsky St. Handy if you remember about the internet right before departure.
Corfu stretches from north to south, and accommodation is often away from the bigger towns, in a village or a villa by an olive grove. Wi-Fi there can be weak or missing, and questions about check-in, transfers and car hire are best solved at once while you are on the road. Mobile internet on an eSIM works across the island and is not tied to one hotel.
Your main SIM stays in the phone for calls and bank SMS, while data goes through the eSIM. Most plans have no voice calls or SMS, so messengers are the easiest way to reach landlords, transfer drivers and boat owners. See the Greece plan terms and any regional options above on this page.

The island is small, but the roads wind and the beaches and coves are scattered along every coast. These are the places where you will use the internet most.
Many people pick up a rental car right at the airport, and the first things you need are a map to your accommodation and a message to the owner about your arrival. At the port it helps to check ferry timetables to the mainland, towards Igoumenitsa, and save tickets. Internet right after landing saves you from looking for Wi-Fi in the arrivals hall.
Bays set among rocks in the north-west, where people come for the beaches, the monastery and boats to sea caves. The road winds, and car parks get tight in season, so internet helps with the map and table bookings. Boats leave from the beaches: check timetables and prices on the spot and keep in touch with the captain by messenger.
A resort village on the north coast with sandy beaches and the famous rocks around the Canal d'Amour. You can stay here without a car, but you still need internet to order a taxi, check the weather and book dinner. If you come for a day, save the car park address and the map in advance.
The east coast, with a long strip of cafes, bars and beaches where a lot of evening outings happen. Your phone is needed for the map to find the right venue, for transfer messages and for ordering a taxi late in the evening. If you stay on a slope above the sea, mobile internet is more dependable than the house Wi-Fi.
The palace of Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria, known as Sisi, south of Kerkyra, with a garden and sea views. People usually come by car or on a tour, so internet is handy for the route, parking and checking opening hours. If you bought an e-ticket in advance, save it on your phone.
Kavos is known for nightlife, while Messonghi and Lefkimmi are calmer, with a canal, tavernas and long beaches. Stretches between villages are quiet, so in the evening it helps to book a transfer or taxi in advance instead of hoping to flag one down. Mobile internet also helps with messages to scooter and boat rental places.
The west coast with wide sandy beaches and the Kaiser's Throne viewpoint in Pelekas, where people go for sunset. The roads uphill are narrow and the car park at the viewpoint is small. Save the point on the map before you leave and book a return transfer in the evening if you are not driving.
The island has plenty of familiar services, and a few apps are especially useful for car hire and ferries.
The main navigator for roads and beaches, with reviews and tavern opening hours. Download an offline map of the island: it comes in handy on narrow village roads.
Helps with Greek signs, menus and timetable boards. Download Greek for offline use and translate notices with the camera.
Keeps your address, check-in terms and chat with hosts. Take a screenshot of the address and save the host's contact if the villa is out of town.
A service for finding timetables and buying ferry tickets in Greece. Useful if you go from Corfu to the mainland, and save tickets on your phone in advance.
Shows wind and waves, which matters for boat trips and ferries. Check the forecast in the morning rather than on the way to the pier.
This is how you reach villa hosts, car and boat rentals and transfer drivers. Since most plans have no voice calls, calling through a messenger is the easiest option.
Check that your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. You can find this in the settings or on the manufacturer's website.
Choose a Greece plan above and pay by card on the site, no passport is needed. If you are also visiting other islands, check the plan terms.
Install the eSIM at home by QR code, the Quick install button or manually while you still have Wi-Fi. That way you will not need to look for internet at the airport.
After landing on Corfu, choose the eSIM as your mobile data line and switch data roaming on for that line.
Keep your main SIM on for calls and bank SMS, but turn off mobile data on it so traffic does not go through roaming.
If the package runs out, buy extra data on the site. The hotspot works on plans that allow it, check the plan page for details.
Before touring the island, download an offline map and save the contacts of your landlord, car rental and host: in narrow valleys signal can be uneven.
