# Smoking at Corfu Airport (Ioannis Kapodistrias) – CFU

Yes, you can smoke at Corfu Airport “Ioannis Kapodistrias” (CFU) — outside the terminal building, landside, before security. Corfu’s single terminal sits at Kanoni, on the narrow spit of land between the Chalikiopoulou lagoon and the sea, about 2 km south of Corfu Town, and there is no smoking area indoors or airside anywhere on the property.

## Before Security (Landside)

All smoking at CFU happens outdoors, before you reach security. Traveller reports from 2024–2025 consistently describe one designated outdoor smoking area outside the terminal, with no indoor room and no separate airside facility. Cigarettes and vapes are handled the same way at this outdoor spot.

## After Security (Airside)

Once you pass through security and passport control at CFU there is no smoking area of any kind — no ventilated room and no open-air terrace at the gates. The departure lounge and every gate are smoke-free.

Passengers connecting through Corfu must leave the terminal entirely, smoke outdoors, landside, and then re-clear security to reach their onward flight.

## Vaping

Greece’s 2019 anti-smoking law (Law 4633/2019) extends the indoor ban to e-cigarettes, so vaping at CFU follows the same rule as cigarettes — allowed only at the outdoor area outside the terminal, with the indoor building and every gate vape-free.

Flying on to Crete or the mainland? [Heraklion Airport (HER) lists no smoking area](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/greece/her-smoking-at-heraklion-airport/), so ask staff there, and [the indoor smoking rooms airside at Athens Airport (ATH)](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/greece/ath-smoking-at-athens-airport/) are worth knowing before you connect — see our guide to [smoking during layovers](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/smoking-during-layovers/) for the general rules on re-clearing security.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can you smoke at Corfu Airport?

Yes — outside the terminal building, landside. Corfu’s single terminal, including check-in, security and every gate, is smoke-free throughout.

### Is there a smoking area after security at Corfu Airport?

Smoke outside the terminal, landside, before you go through — Corfu Airport has no airside smoking area, so once you clear security and passport control, the departure lounge and gates are smoke-free all the way to boarding.

### Where can I smoke at CFU?

Outside the terminal building, landside — the one designated outdoor area serving both departing and arriving passengers before they go through security. There is no indoor or airside option anywhere at the airport.

### Can I smoke on a layover at Corfu Airport?

Yes, landside. Because there is no airside smoking area, a connecting passenger who wants a cigarette has to leave through arrivals, smoke outside the terminal, then re-clear security and passport control for the onward flight.

### Can you vape at Corfu Airport?

Yes — Greece’s 2019 anti-smoking law (Law 4633/2019) extends the indoor ban to e-cigarettes, so vaping at CFU is confined to the same outdoor area outside the terminal; the indoor building and every gate are vape-free.
