Our tour begins with a driving tour of the Old town of Corfu, a curious mixture of "old world" charm and elegance with two Venetian fortresses and British architecture. Leaving town, we will make a stop to see the “picture postcard” view of Mouse Island.

We will then travel south of Corfu to visit Achilleon Palace. This small palace with its museum and lovely gardens was built in 19th century for the Empress Elizabeth “Sissy” of Austria who was fascinated by the Greek hero Achilles. For many years it housed the Casino of Corfu before it moved to its present location. A few years ago it was the venue for a very special dinner attended by European Summit leaders.

Our magical tour then takes you to the west coast to the lush green resort of Paleocastritsa (which means "old castle"). Paleocastritsa is one of the island´s most beautiful areas with small coves and crystal clear waters. There we will visit the hill-top monastery dedicated to the Virgin and have time for lunch and/or swimming.

Above Paleocastritsa is the Bella Vista viewing point where you can enjoy one of the best views in the Mediterranean.

This tour ends with a scenic drive through some of the traditional hillside villages of Corfu and the north eastern coast with spectacular views over the mountains of Albania and mainland Greece.

Please note lunch is not included in the price of this tour.
