Activity itinerary

Corfu Cruise Port Terminal

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup at the port, where you'll meet your professional, English-speaking guide. Then, you'll board a modern, air-conditioned bus for a comfortable journey ahead.

Paleokastritsa

1h 30m

Your excursion begins with a scenic drive to Paleokastritsa, one of Corfu’s most famous coastal gems. Known for its vibrant turquoise waters, towering cliffs, and lush natural scenery, this area offers stunning viewpoints and a calm setting ideal for both exploration and relaxation. When reserving your tour, you can opt for a 45-minute cruise on a traditional wooden boat. This ride follows the picturesque shoreline and, when weather and boat size allow, includes entry into the sea caves—a memorable moment and a great chance to capture beautiful photos. If a slower pace is more your style, you’re welcome to spend your time on the beach instead. Take a swim in the clear water, relax on the sand, or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere. No matter which option you select, Paleokastritsa provides a beautiful and unforgettable beginning to your Corfu adventure.

Holy Monastery of the Virgin Mary at Paleokastritsa

Next, you’ll head to the Monastery of Paleokastritsa, a 13th-century Byzantine landmark set high above the coastline. From its hilltop location, you’ll enjoy impressive sea views while your guide explains the monastery’s history and the stories connected to this peaceful site. Please note that if vehicle access is restricted, reaching the monastery may involve a brief 15-minute uphill walk.

Corfu Town

1h 30m

Afterward, you’ll make your way to Corfu Town, the island’s historic heart and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With its narrow cobblestone lanes, Venetian-style buildings, and lively squares, the town features iconic sights such as the Old Fortress and the Liston Promenade. You’ll enjoy a guided walk followed by about an hour of free time to explore on your own. You can try local dishes at a traditional taverna, browse shops for souvenirs like olive-oil products or kumquat liqueur, or simply wander through the charming streets. Combining centuries of history with everyday island life, Corfu Town has something for everyone.
