City Tour
 
Our tour takes us first to the unspoilt village of
Gastouri , where the exquisite Achelleion Palace , built in 1892
for the Empress Elisabeth of Austria , occupies a position overlooking
the Ionian Sea .
A fter a visit to Kanoni , with its renowned view of
Mouse Island and the Monastery of Vlacherna, we continue to the Town
of Corfu , to sample its elegance and charm.
Guided visit to St Spyridon's
church, home to the remains of the island's Patron Saint.
Paxi & Parga
cruise
 
No holiday in Corfu is complete without
a cruise to the enchanting island of Paxos . Located
south of Corfou these islands were holiday resorts since the 18 th
century with the French and British. Continuing to the southeast
we find the little town of Parga nicely situated
amidst the spectacular coastal scenery of the Greek mainland.
There will be opportunities for swimming and lunch
at both Paxos and Parga
Grand Island
Tour - North
We cross the island to the West coast
and Palaiokastritsa ,
justifiably Corfu 's best-known beauty spot, where an 18th century
Monastery crowns a dramatic cliff and overlooks a sea rich with peacock
hues.
From here we climb to one of Corfu 's enchantingly
colourful villages, Lakones , from which one of
the finest panoramic views in Europe may be enjoyed.
Our route continues via the mountain villages
and glorious views of north-western Corfu and brings us to the fishing
village/resort of Kassiopi .
We return in the afternoon through
the superb coastal scenery of the north-east, with stunning views
of the many beautiful coves and bays, and of mysterious Albania ,
only a short distance away across the straits.
Grand Island Tour - South
Corfu has an amazing variety of scenery, and it is
by visiting the southern part that you will fully appreciate this
diversity.
It is here that Corfu 's most impressive, unspoiled, sandy
beaches are spread.
The villages of the south have changed very little
over the years, and our tour will give you the opportunity to partake,
however briefly, in their enduring way of live - a Greek coffee with
the locals in Hlomos, a visit to the carpet factory in Kato Garouna
where local girls hand-weave colourful rugs.
After this relaxing
but interesting tour we shall descend to one of the long sandy beaches
for lunch and swimming, before returning along the eastern coast.
