Day 01
Grand Corfu Island Tour with Paleokastritsa, Sidari, and Kassiopi
- Meet your tour guide and begin the tour by tasting Corfu's local products from the hands of a Corfiot family. Sample homemade sweets such as kumquat candy and marmalade, Greek spoon sweet, thyme and orange honey, loukoumi, liquors such as kumquat and limoncello, extra virgin olive oil, local olives, and fresh bread.
- Spend some free time at Paleokastritsa Bay sunbathing and swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea beach. An optional boat ride to the Blue Caves can also be enjoyed. It costs 10 euros per person and is paid onboard to the captain. You can also visit the Monastery of the Virgin Mary, founded in the 13th century and located on a hill near the beach. Access is by foot, with a 20-minute uphill walk.
- Drive up the mountain and stop at a local tavern in Lakones village to admire the fantastic view of the bay from above while having a Greek snack with a glass of ouzo, Greek red or white wine, or a soft drink.
- Head to Logga Beach, hidden beneath rocky cliffs. Here, you can enjoy the magnificent panorama of the Diapontia Islands, the northwesternmost land in Greece.
- Proceed to one of the most famous places in Corfu, Canal D'Amour. This original spot was created by nature and the Ionian Sea in Sidari. Its rocks and cliffs have unusual colours and shapes, and you can walk around them or swim in its waters.
- Continue driving to Kassiopi, a lovely fishing village with a typical port full of small caiques, or wooden fishing boats. Enjoy a walk along its promenade, browse the small shops and cafeterias, or visit the ancient Byzantine castle that protected the area.
