This Corfu shore trip includes the famous Achillion Palace combined with a walking tour of the town of Corfu. As a bonus, a panoramic photo stop overlooking the bay is included.
After meeting your private licensed guide you leave the city and drive into the fertile area of orange and lemon groves until you reach the Achillion Palace. This Neo-Classical villa was built between 1889 and 1891 for Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known as Sisi, who used it as a summer retreat. Her daughter later sold it to German Emperor Wilhelm II in 1907. The gardens are adorned with statues and the views over the densely wooded countryside are magnificent.
After your tour of the palace you drive to the town of Corfu. On the way you enjoy a photo stop at a vantage point known as Kanoni, named for the old cannons still in place that once protected the harbor entrance, which offers wonderful views of the bay with Mouse Island and its little chapel clearly visible.
Once in the town of Corfu your guide leads a short walking tour along the famed Esplanade, past the cricket pitch, and includes the Church of St. Spiridon, the patron saint of Corfu. After your walking tour you can choose to remain in town on your own or be driven back to your hotel or the pier.
