Shore Excursion to Achilleion, Mon Repos Palace, and Corfu Old Town

Your assistant will be waiting for you at the port terminal building. Once the group is ready, the tour will start.

A pleasant panoramic drive will lead you to the first stop. The Achilleion Palace Gardens is a stunning open space from which to admire Corfu Town’s skyview, Mt. Pantokrator, and the Albanian mountain range in the background.

Corfu Old Town Tour

What’s best: dozens of Neoclassical sculptures fill the area, creating an enchanting atmosphere where you can learn about Greek mythology and Sissi’s legend.

2. Kanoni Peninsula: The Most Memorable Photo

 

Kanoni Peninsula and Pontikonissi

All the visitors coming to Corfu have an image in their minds, and this is the view of Vlacherna Monastery and Pontikonissi Island from Kanoni.

Now you will have the chance to take “the best picture of your holidays”: The photograph you will keep as a great souvenir, the memories of a great experience in Corfu!

What to see in Kanoni? 

Apart from taking the most-wanted photo at the seaview points, you can do more things during the Shore Excursion to Achilleion, Mon Repos Palace, and Corfu Old Town tour:

> Have a coffee or a snack at one of the local panoramic cafeterias. There are three local cafes; two of them are overlooking the bay directly after the bus parking, and the third one is a few meters before the bus stop; you can choose it if you prefer something more ellaborate, or if you want to take the funny photo with your head inside the “CORFU” big letters signal! @skyview.corfu

Skyview, Kanoni Cafe and Royal Grand Veranda.

> Take a short walk and visit Vlacherna Monastery, a tiny building located on a small island close to Pontikonissi. You will find the stairs on the left side of the main cafeteria viewpoint.

> Wait for the aeroplanes to land and say hello to the passengers: the planes are exactly at eye level!

The former British Governor’s residence, a beautiful neoclassical building, has been converted into a lovely small museum, surrounded by lush gardens and featuring interesting archaeological sites: here, you will find several 7th-century BC sites, if you are as crazy as we are about archaeology!

    Excellent transportation company.
    We hire them for all the transfers in our company vacation trip in Corfu.
    The buses were new and good, the drivers were professional and nice.

    We went on the paxos parga cruise. We had a great time and it was well worth the money. Parga was absolutely gorgeous and l can recommend the captains bar on the sea front for a cold drink, or something to eat. As their prices, are very reasonable.
