Corfu’s harbour area is divided into the New Port (Neo Limani) — which handles ferries and cruise calls — and the Old Harbour (Paleo Limani) used mainly by smaller craft. Most commercial ferry services use the New Port; terminal allocation depends on the operator and route, so always check your booking confirmation and on-site information boards.
