Stop 1

Following a pickup from your cruise ship or your Corfu hotel, board your private vehicle and get ready for an exciting day in Corfu! Head first to the famous coastline of Paleokastritsa, considered one of the most beautiful locations of the Mediterranean thanks to its mesmerizing natural beauty, breathtaking green scenery and emerald waters! Greek Mythology has it that it is here that Odysseus (Homer’s fascinating hero) was washed ashore and met Nausicaa for the first time. Take a dip in the crystalline waters, enjoy a boat trip to the famous caves (15 euros as an extra cost) or climb to the 13th-century hilltop monastery with your vehicle and marvel at the awe-inspiring sea views!

Hop back on your air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy the relaxing driving through the amazing Corfu countryside before you reach the cosmopolitan Glyfada beach! Surrounded by olive trees and cypresses, Glyfada Beach is an incredibly beautiful beach that offers everything a traveler longs for: golden sands, shimmering, turquoise waters, and a variety of beach facilities designed to make your stay more comfortable! Relax on your comfortable sun lounger, sip your favorite cocktail or grab a bite from the vibrant beach bar and enjoy the most refreshing swim in the pristine waters of the Ionian Sea! If you're looking to add a little adventure to your beach escape, watersports are also available.

After soaking up Corfu's wonderful sunshine, it's time to uncover the charms of the incredibly beautiful Corfu Town! Walking around the little streets, you will soon realize what led UNESCO to designate this a World Heritage Site! Explore the must-see sights including the Venetian Old Fortress or St. Spyridon Church, witness the distinctive Italianate architecture and pause to sip your coffee or taste the delectable local cuisine in the French designed Liston where access was once restricted to nobility! Browse through the hundreds of souvenir shops and take with you some of Corfu's favourite products including kumquat, fig pie or olive oil! By the time we say goodbye, we bet that you will have fallen in love with Corfu! Your tour concludes with a comfortable drive back to your Corfu hotel or Corfu port in good time for departure!
