The experience

The tour picks you up at Corfu Port and drives you south to Paleokastritsa in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. On the way, you taste local Corfiot products: the kind of stop that breaks up the journey and gives you a real sense of what the island grows and makes. Then you arrive at Paleokastritsa Beach with four hours ahead of you, and the day becomes yours to shape.

Paleokastritsa is a small cove ringed by cliffs, with a pebble beach and turquoise water. You can swim from the shore, or book a boat trip out to the sea caves that cut into the rock face. The caves are the draw for many visitors, and the boats leave regularly from the beach. If you'd rather stay dry, a steep path leads up to the Monastery of Virgin Mary, perched on the headland above. The walk takes time but the views back down to the cove are the reason people make it. There's also a row of tavernas along the waterfront if you want to sit with a meal and watch the water instead.

You return to Corfu Port in the same vehicle with the same driver, who speaks English throughout. If you book the option with a licensed guide, they'll travel with you and can answer questions about what you're seeing. If you choose the standard vehicle, the driver handles transport only. A luxury Mercedes is available if you prefer that cabin.
