The two primary ways to get to Ereikoussa are through a boat called ''Pegasus'' that leaves from Sidari, a city in northern Corfu, or the ''EVDOKIA'', a boat that leaves from Corfu Town. The ''Sea Away'' takes about 40 min. while the ''EVDOKIA'' takes about 2 hours 30 min.{{Citation needed|date=June 2022}} |
