Perfect for first-time visitors and those looking to explore Corfu’s highlights once again, this half-day tour offers a comprehensive and intimate experience of the island’s beauty and history. Travel in comfort with a small group on a coach, guided by a knowledgeable local expert.
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through Corfu’s lush countryside, heading to the stunning Paleokastritsa Bay, often called the “Capri of Greece.” At the hilltop, visit a historic Byzantine monastery still inhabited by monks. For those willing to take a 400-meter uphill climb, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views and the chance to admire the religious icons and relics housed in the chapel and museum.
Next, visit the traditional village of Lakones, known as “God’s Balcony” for its panoramic vistas of Paleokastritsa Bay and the surrounding hills. From here, continue over the mountain ridge to Corfu Town, passing through picturesque villages along the way.
Upon arriving in Corfu Town, enjoy a sightseeing tour by coach, taking in the city’s most famous landmarks, including the ancient ruins of Palaipolis, the 19th-century Royal Palace of St. George and St. Michael, the summer palace of the former Greek king (Mon Repos), and the scenic Garitsa Bay.
Explore the impressive 14th-century Venetian fortress, the Esplanade Square (once Napoleon’s military drill ground), and the bustling Old Port, filled with traditional caiques. Stroll through an open-air flea market and pass by San Rocco Square, the heart of the town’s commercial life.
