Make the most out of your trip to Corfu and visit the most famous landmarks of the island while admiring the natural beauty, the history and the finesse of the capital of the Ionian islands always accompanied by a professional guide.
Best of Corfu is a full day private excursion (8 hours) with a private car or a minivan, accompanied by a professional guide.
Our first stop on the excursion is Paleokastritsa, one of the most stunning locations in Corfu, known for its crystal-clear waters and dramatic landscapes. Here, we visit the historic Monastery of the Virgin Mary, perched on a hilltop with breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea. This centuries-old monastery is home to a small museum, beautiful courtyards, and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for reflection. After exploring, you will have free time to take an optional boat ride to the famous sea caves, where you can admire the striking rock formations and the mesmerizing shades of blue in the water (additional cost applies).
The second stop on the excursion is Kanoni, one of Corfu’s most iconic locations. Offering breathtaking panoramic views, Kanoni overlooks the famous Vlacherna Monastery, a charming white chapel set on a tiny islet and the picturesque Mouse Island (Pontikonisi), a lush green retreat steeped in legend. This spot is a must-see for visitors, providing the perfect opportunity to capture stunning photos of Corfu’s most recognizable landscape while soaking in the serene beauty of the Ionian Sea.
Our third stop is Mon Repos, a beautiful neoclassical palace set within lush gardens, offering a glimpse into Corfu’s aristocratic past. Built in the early 19th century, Mon Repos was once a summer residence for British governors and later became the birthplace of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Today, it houses a museum with fascinating exhibits on Corfu’s history and archaeology. As we stroll through the surrounding park, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the Ionian Sea and a peaceful escape from the bustling town.
No excursion in Corfu would be considered complete without visiting the heart of the island, Corfu Town. Dominated by two fortresses, one can admire the uniqueness of the UNESCO-protected Old Town with its Venetian architecture, narrow alleys, the Palace of Saint Michael & Saint George, prestigious churches like Saint Spyridon’s Church and charming local delicacy shops. Here, you will also have free time to explore at your own pace, soak in the vibrant atmosphere and, if you wish, enjoy an optional lunch at one of the many traditional tavernas.
