Corfu Full Day Tour

We collect you from the port of Corfu and takeyou in a deluxe Motorcoach to Achilleion.

Upon arrival, you will visit the famous Achilleion Palace, constructed in 1892 for the Empress Elisabeth of Austria.

This ill-fated Empress was obsessed with the Greek hero, Achilles, and commissioned a statue of Achilles “Dying.” In 1907, the Palace was bought by Kaiser William II of Germany, who erected a contrasting statue, of Achilles “Triumphant.” Both statues still remain in the gardens.

You will see many traditional villages before arriving at beautiful Palaeokastritsa where you will visit the 13th Century Monastery of the Virgin Mary, located on top of a hill. From here, we proceed  through Ropa Valley to Gastouri village.

Your sightseeing tour continues with a drive through the beautiful and luscious island past the Kaiser’s Bridge to view, from a distance, the convent of Vlachernae and the Mouse Island, landmarks of Corfu. On your way back to the port we will stop in Corfu Town and walk to St. Spyridon Church which honors the patron saint of Corfu and those who want to will have a chance to stroll through some of the town’s numerous narrow balconied streets. Afterwards, we will take you directly back to your ship.
