Highlights
- Paleokastritsa Beach - Palaeokastritsa is probably the most recognizable area of Corfu, offering unique beaches, turqoise waters and a spectacular view. Palaeokastritsa has many restaurants, bars and shops. “TO DO LIST” a boat trip to the caves (optional). Paleokastritsa is arguably the most famous picturesque villages of the island of Corfu, located 25 km northwest of Corfu Town. The word Paleokastritsa literally means old little castle, named after Angelokastro, a Byzantine castle that stands on a hill over the village. This cosmopolitan resort stretches along a coastal road around stunning bays and a picturesque harbor where the excursion boats depart for the nearby, isolated beaches. At the end of the road, right after the main harbor, is the Monastery of the Virgin Mary that overlooks the village. The monastery hosts an interesting collection of post-Byzantine icons, books and other objects. There, you will discover precious icons from the 15th century.

Private tour Corfu. - Me and my wife booked a private tour in Corfu when we arrived on our cruise. we had visited Corfu before, nearly thirty years ago but didn't see much of the island. We were met by "Marco" our driver in a really smart, clean and lovely motor which was a surprise, after a really warm welcome which made us feel at ease completely, he made some suggestions on how we could spend the next few hours after finding out what our interests were. We visited the monastery in Paleo and then drove up into the hills, for what was absolutely amazing views of the east coast. his driving was super professional and navigated the nightmare roads with ease and always made us feel super safe. all in all a great afternoon and definitely worth a penny. we parted as new friends...........

Amazing time despite choppy waters - Great time! Wanted to do a group excursion for 11 when our cruise docked in Corfu and we all highly recommend. This sprinter van was beautiful and comfortably sat 11. Since the waves were very choppy, we were given various options instead of the 2 beaches, so we saw a monastery, did a drive by past Paleokastritsa, a very tasty olive oil museum (which we all bought sometime at), Glyfada beach and then was dropped off downtown. 10/10 would recommend!

Thumbs up 👍 - Our driver met us promptly outside our cruise ship, took us to two different beaches, and was even flexible when some people wanted to be dropped off in town, while others returned to the ship. Overall, we received exactly what we had asked for.

Paleokastritsa Beach - We couldn't go to Glyfada beach, because it was very early and we had little time, they suggested we take a walk around the city and then we went to Paleokastritsa beach. A beach dream!!! Lovely!!! It's worth going.

Great Trip - I recommend this tour for everyone especially for families with small children. No waiting times for a shuttle or boat, right duration for those who are travelling with kids. You will arrive prior the big rush at the spots. We had a brilliant guide. He cared a lot of our intrests and organized a privat boat tour (not that expensive).

Corfu Driver - Driver Connie was very nice. English was at times challenging, he was not a tour guide, just a driver. Took us to few places we wanted to see. Being my first time here, I would recommend a guide.

A relaxing day. - This tour was relaxing and enjoyable. We werr on a cruise and didn't have much time, so we opted to spend all our time at Paleokastritsa, instead of spending the time driving to another location. There are two beaches, on opposite sides of tbe road. We spent time at the one that offered beach chairs, as the beach itself is not sandy. The driver took me to the Monastery (and waited) while the others in my group spent time at the beach. The Monastery is beautiful, and I recommend taking some time to view its grounds.
