Where We Go
The destinations on our Corfu tours
Every stop on our private tours has been chosen because it represents the best of what Corfu and the surrounding region has to offer.
🏛
Achilleion Palace
Gastouri, Corfu
Built in 1890 for Empress Elisabeth of Austria, the Achilleion is Corfu’s most visited landmark. The Neoclassical palace sits on a hillside above Gastouri with sweeping views of the Ionian Sea. The sculpture gardens and the colossal bronze Dying Achilles are the centrepiece of any Corfu sightseeing tour. Featured on Tours 01, 03, and 04.
🌊
Paleokastritsa
Northwest Corfu
Consistently ranked among the most beautiful bays in the Mediterranean. The turquoise coves, limestone cliffs, and sea caves on the northwest coast draw visitors from across the island. Above the bay, the 13th-century Monastery of Moni Theotokou stands on a rocky headland with sweeping sea views. Featured on Tours 02 and 03.
📷
Kanoni & Mouse Island
South of Corfu Town
One of the most photographed viewpoints in Greece. From the Kanoni terrace you look across a calm lagoon to the whitewashed church of Panagia Vlacherna on its own islet, with the wooded Pontikonisi (Mouse Island) directly behind it. A natural end point for any Corfu island tour. Featured on Tours 01, 02, 03, and 04.
⛰
Pelekas & Kaiser’s Throne
Central Ridge, Corfu
A traditional hilltop village on Corfu’s central ridge with open views across both sides of the island. Kaiser Wilhelm II reportedly watched sunsets from a rocky viewpoint above the village, known since as Kaiser’s Throne. It is a short stop with a panorama that takes in most of the island in one sweep. Featured on Tours 03 and 04.
🏖
Glyfada Beach
West Coast, Corfu
One of the longest sandy beaches on the west coast, approximately 17 km from Corfu Town. The broad bay faces the Ionian Sea and catches the afternoon sun directly. Clear water, a gradual depth, and beachside tavernas make it a natural end to any Corfu sightseeing day. Featured on Tours 04 and 05.
🌄
Meteora
Thessaly, Central Greece
One of Greece’s most extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Sandstone pillars rising up to 400 metres above the Thessalian valley are topped by six active Orthodox monasteries, some founded in the 14th century. A Meteora day trip from Corfu begins with a ferry to the mainland, followed by a road journey to Kalambaka. Featured on Tour 06.
