According to legend, the Greek village of Paleokastritsa (Palaiokastritsa) is where Odysseus was shipwrecked and met Nausicaa in Homer’s epic tale theOdyssey. It’s a suitable setting for mythical romance, with a string of beaches, olive groves, and cypress forests set against the glittering Mediterranean Sea.
Great time! Wanted to do a group excursion for 11 when our cruise docked in Corfu and we all highly recommend. This sprinter van was beautiful and comfortably sat 11. Since the waves were very choppy, we were given various options instead of the 2 beaches, so we saw a monastery, did a drive by past Paleokastritsa, a very tasty olive oil museum (which we all bought sometime at), Glyfada beach and then was dropped off downtown. 10/10 would recommend!
Driver Connie was very nice. English was at times challenging, he was not a tour guide, just a driver. Took us to few places we wanted to see. Being my first time here, I would recommend a guide.
Our private driver was amazing! His knowledge of the area and history lessons made the tour a great experience. The local tasting experience was very informative and tasty. My husband and I would select this tour again.
This trip was excellent! The scenery was amazing. We had a great conversation with our driver, Theodore, who taught us a lot about Corfu. Vicky coordinated every detail and was very responsive.
Fantastic experience. From start to finish! Professional and personable! Vicky and Antonis were wonderful. They did great job planning our boat tour and beach stop. Quiet, peaceful beach with sunbeds and great little restaurant. We so enjoyed our day! It was a great great experience! Our party of 8 were pleased beyond our expectations!
The communication was very good when we had a question they were quick to respond. They also picked us up at our cruise terminal. The beach was beautiful we went. We had a wonderful sunbed with umbrella reserved for us that we could relax on. On the way back we wanted a gyro and our driver Theodore stopped at two different places but they were closed. That wasn’t even part of our tour. He was very accommodating.
Our driver met us promptly outside our cruise ship, took us to two different beaches, and was even flexible when some people wanted to be dropped off in town, while others returned to the ship. Overall, we received exactly what we had asked for.
Amazing experience! Our guide was so nice and knew a lot about Corfu, he stayed with us from the moment our cruise docked, and made a trip for us that satisfied all our needs and wants. And he also got us back to our boat before it left.
Great experience. Good to get away from the cruise ship crowds. Picked up right a pier. Driver was very pleasant and appeared to drive safely. Recommend.
