This Corfu shore trip focuses on beautiful views from several vantage points, showing you the natural beauty of the most lush of the Greek islands. A refreshment stop is included to sample the local liqueur.
After meeting your private licensed guide you begin your panoramic journey of Corfu, an island that stands out from most other Greek islands for how lush and richly forested it is, the result of centuries of cultural influence layered onto natural beauty.
First you travel along the scenic west coast to the hilltop village of Lakones, known as Bella Vista. This impressive location offers spectacular views over the Bay of Paleokastritsa, its emerald waters and unusual rock formations. In the distance sits the Monastery of Panagia Paleokastritsa, founded in 1225 and rebuilt several times over the centuries after being destroyed by the Genoese in 1403 and by the Turks in 1537, serenely overlooking this popular bay.
Next you drive inland through the scenic village of Makrades, the Troumbetta Pass and the village of Scripero, leading through the fertile Ropa Valley.
Your next stop is at a distillery producing an island favorite, Koum Kouat liqueur. There is time for tasting this specialty along with fruit glace.
After this refreshing stop you start the trip back to Corfu town. Along the way a short stop is made at Kanoni, named for the old cannons still in place that once protected the harbor entrance. This vantage point offers wonderful views of the bay with Mouse Island and its little chapel clearly visible. Once in the town of Corfu you can decide if you want to stay and explore the Esplanade on your own or return to the pier or your hotel.
