Corfu in A Day: Paleokastritsa, Lakones, Kanoni & Corfu Town

Begin your exciting day in Corfu with a convenient pickup from Corfu port or your hotel in Corfu.

Meet our professional driver or tour guide and head towards Paleokastritsa bay; the renowned coast with the lucid, turquoise waters surrounding the imposing, hilly formations of Corfu mountains. Paleokastritsa beach offers a variety of activities; take your time and swim in its crystal-clear waters, or take delight in our recommended activities. Visit the hilltop Byzantine Monastery of Virgin Mary, which dates back to the 13th century, and take a walk around its floral gardens while enjoying the views towards the endless Ionian Sea. Take the boat ride and discover the “hidden” Blue Caves which will definitely leave you speechless. Have your camera prepared for amazing captures of this exciting water trip.

Having left from Paleokastritsa beach, “climb” the Corfiot mountains through their sinuous roads, and reach the summit where you will find a small, but picturesque village; the traditional village of Lakones. There, first and foremost, embrace the opportunity of overlooking the best view of Corfu. Enjoy this amazing scenery which elaborately combines the Ionian Sea, the Corfiot mountains and the beaming sun, while enjoying a refreshing beverage in one of the local cafés. Continue your private tour by making a stop at the famous “Kanoni” which actually means “cannon” in Greek. There, grab the chance and gaze at the lavishly green “Mouse Island”, or else known as “Pontikonisi” in Greek, and if you stand lucky, you may watch aeroplanes landing or taking off literally a few metres away from you.

Finish this amazing private tour with your last stop in Corfu Town. A day in Corfu would not be the same without seeing and, hence, admiring the historic center of Corfu Town. Enjoy a walk through the narrow streets of Corfu Town, known as “kantounia”, visit some of the most famous sights such as the Old Fortress, the Asian Art Museum, also known as the Palace of Sts. George and Michael, and the Church of St. Spyridon whose chapel is the tallest point all over Corfu Town. Do not forget to wander through “Spianada Square”, and the “Durrells'' Gardens when basking in the Corfiot sun while tasting local delicacies before going back to the Corfu cruise port.

This 7-hour private tour will definitely intersperse your cruise trip or your holidays in Corfu with all the best memories from Corfu. Book your full-day private excursion and get ready for a fascinating one-day-tour in Corfu!
