Itinerary

The tour begins with pickup at the cruise port, followed by a drive to Paleokastritsa, one of Corfu’s most scenic coastal areas known for its turquoise waters and rocky cliffs. Guests may enjoy free time here or take an optional boat ride to explore nearby sea caves, depending on weather and availability.

The journey continues across the island toward Corfu Old Town, where a guided walking tour introduces visitors to its narrow alleys, squares, and historic landmarks influenced by centuries of Venetian rule. After the visit, the tour returns directly to the cruise port in time for ship departure.

Who is this experience best for

Insider notes

Paleokastritsa is typically the most scenic part of the tour, but time there can feel limited due to cruise schedules. Corfu Old Town is often busy during peak cruise arrivals, especially when multiple ships are in port. The optional sea cave boat trip is weather-dependent and often considered a highlight when conditions allow.
