Most of our volunteers rent scooters during their stay. The prices for a scooter are approximately 7-15 Euros a day depending on the bike and the length of hire. You need a driver’s license to rent a scooter. The scooter allows you to explore the island on your days off and get to the beaches and local resorts at the end of the day.

To rent a scooter or a bicycle, you may contact D&M moto rental in Dassia.
Also, you can rent a bicycle in Liapades, at Nadia's bike rental.

To go from Doukades to Corfu Town or to Paleokastritsa you can also use the green bus.

We suggest our volunteers, to take a taxi from the airport to the accommodation they have booked, at least upon arrival. We have arranged a discount for our volunteers with taxi Dimitris – our only recommended taxi driver. To make use of Dimitri’s service, a text message needs to be sent by you the day before arrival. This message needs to include:
Name
Flight date, time and number
That you are coming to CDR
The name and location of your accommodation.

Dimitri will reply to confirm he will be there. He will be at the airport holding a yellow sign with your name on it.

Dimitri’s phone number is +30 6936010009.
