Accompanied by a Professional Guide

Our journey begins with a visit to the Monastery of the Virgin Mary in Paleokastritsa, a historic site dating back to the 13th century. Perched on a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea, this monastery offers breathtaking views, a beautiful courtyard, and a fascinating collection of Byzantine icons. The peaceful atmosphere and rich history make it a must-visit location. For those looking to explore beyond the land, an optional boat trip to the famous sea caves of Paleokastritsa is available (extra cost). This short excursion takes you through crystal-clear waters to hidden caves, where the sunlight creates mesmerizing reflections inside the rock formations.

Located in the lush hills of northwestern Corfu, our next stop is Makrades, a charming traditional village known for its authentic atmosphere and local craftsmanship. As we stroll through its narrow streets, you’ll find family-run shops selling handmade products, including local honey, olive oil, herbs, and the famous Corfiot kumquat liqueur. The village is surrounded by lush olive groves and cypress trees, offering a peaceful retreat from the busier coastal areas.

Next, we head to the traditional village of Lakones, known for its spectacular Bella Vista viewpoint. Here, we take a relaxing break at a local café, where you can enjoy coffee and homemade desserts while taking in the stunning panoramic views of Paleokastritsa and the island’s rugged coastline.

Throughout the journey, your professional guide will share insights into the history, culture, and legends of Corfu.
