Overview

With a specially designed itinerary for cruise passengers, this tour offers smooth pickup and drop-off at the port. Discover Corfu’s top highlights, relax on a scenic beach or take a coastline boat tour.

Your first stop is Paleokastritsa, known for its crystal-clear waters and dramatic cliffs. You can join a 45-minute wooden boat tour (sea cave entry depends on weather and cave accessibility) or enjoy free time on the beach.

Next, visit the 13th-century Monastery of Paleokastritsa, set on a hill with beautiful views. Your guide will share key stories about its history. Please note that access may involve a short 15-minute uphill walk if vehicles cannot reach the top.

You’ll then continue to Corfu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy a guided walk through its narrow streets, followed by about an hour of free time to shop, explore, or try local Greek dishes.

At the end of the tour, we’ll return you to your cruise ship with plenty of time to spare and lasting memories of Corfu.
