What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Achilleion Museum, Gastouri 491 00 Greece
The Achillion Palace can be found in the Village of Gastouri, 10 km southwest of the town of Corfu. The stunning appearance of this stately palace takes the visitor back in history to when the palace was inhabited by two great figures of European history, whose only common bond was their adoration for Corfu, Greece, and its culture, Empress Elisabeth of Austria (known as 'Sissi') and Kaiser William II of Germany. Wandering through the fabulous gardens, you will be taken on a trip through Greek mythology as you walk between the numerous statues of Greek historical and mythical figures, including the nine Muses, Greek philosophers and, of course, Achilles – the hero of the Greek mythology after whom the palace was named.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Kanoni, Kanoni, Corfu, Ionian Islands
Legend says that the Mouse Island was formed when the ship that had taken Odysseus back to Ithaca, his home port, was turned into stone by Poseidon, god of the sea, angry at being defied by the Phaeacians. It is also very frequent that you see an airplane landing and taking off from this spot, as the airport of Corfu is right next to Kanoni.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Church of Panagia Vlacherna, Vlachernon 3, Kerkira 491 00, Greece
The location of Kanoni with the church of Panagia Vlacherna below and the Mouse Island (Pontikonissi) are the most famous and photographed spots of Corfu.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Paleokastritsa, Paleokastritsa, Corfu, Ionian Islands
Paleokastritsa is arguably the most famous picturesque village of the island of Corfu, located 25 km northwest of Corfu Town. The word Paleokastritsa literally means old little castle, named after Angelokastro, a Byzantine castle that stands on a hill over the village. This cosmopolitan resort stretches along a coastal road around stunning bays and a picturesque harbor where the excursion boats depart for the nearby, isolated beaches. At the end of the road, right after the main harbor is the Monastery of the Virgin Mary that overlooks the village. The monastery hosts an interesting collection of post-Byzantine icons, books and other objects. There, you will discover precious icons from the 15th century.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Danilia, Danilia, Corfu, Ionian Islands
Danilia Village is located at central Corfu, at a 10km distance from the Corfu airport and Corfu Town. Danilia Village has no permanent residents, as it’s a replica of a 1930’s traditional Corfiot village, used as a museum, filming set, wedding and private events set. The village was rebuilt in the 1970’s after an earthquake by the Boua family as an open-air museum, approaching the atmosphere of the old city of Corfu, in a colourful traditional village style. In Danilia Village you can find two squares, a church, a folklore museum, a traditional cafe, an open-air and an indoor taverna and other replicas of old shops and buildings, filled with antique items. Danilia Village is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy some time in a scenic environment away from modern reality, relax and experience learning Corfu’s history in a set that fits the period.
The village is now part of the Grecotel chain, and it’s open to the public.
Duration: 1 hour

The van was nice and comfortable and the driver seemed friendly. However as the tour progressed it was clear we were on a tight schedule and we weren't given much time in the locations we wanted to go (we only suggested 3 stops so we were not trying to squeeze in loads). Therefore we felt extremely rushed and it was evident our driver wanted to ensure we were not even a few minutes late back. However, we ended up being dropped off about half an hour early which we could have spent in Paleokastritsa rather than having a very rushed and brief stop. I would therefore recommend that others considering this trip either get the local bus or book a local tour which allows you to spend longer at each stop or go for a full day.I told Marinos I wanted rabbit for lunch up in the mountains he knew straight away where to take us. We went to Old Perethia and we weren’t disappointed we had to go down this goat track to get to the taverna the driver helped my wife as she is still recovering from a stroke. We loved it so much ...
I told Marinos I wanted rabbit for lunch up in the mountains he knew straight away where to take us. We went to Old Perethia and we weren’t disappointed we had to go down this goat track to get to the taverna the driver helped my wife as she is still recovering from a stroke. We loved it so much we went up there again and was given a discount by Marinos. I highly recommend to do Airport transfers as we did or half/full day tours with Marinos.Μαρίνος κ μαριλη το δίπτυχο της επιτυχίας!
