This relaxing afternoon tour will take you to the heart of the island's west coast, where you can discover its hidden gems at your own pace. Enjoy the island's breathtaking natural beauty. Unwind and bathe in the crystal-clear waters of Palaiokastritsa, a breathtaking gem on Corfu's west coast.

Perched on a lush green hill above Paleokastritsa Beach on Corfu's northwestern side, the impressive Monastery of Panagia (Virgin Mary) of Paleokastritsa dominates the region. This large complex, set atop a remote hill, offers breathtaking views of the island and the sea.

Then, we head to Loggas, located in the charming village of Peroulades in northwestern Corfu. Known for its dramatic limestone cliffs and fine sandy shore, Loggas Beach is a haven of natural beauty. This idyllic spot offers not just a place to relax but also one of Corfu’s most breathtaking sunsets. As the sun sets behind the Diapontia Islands, the sky bursts into vibrant colors, creating a scene straight out of a dream. Whether you choose to relax on the golden sand or sip a refreshing drink on the bar terrace perched above the beach, this enchanting moment offers a perfect blend of relaxation and awe, enjoying panoramic views of the Ionian Sea.
