Palaeokastritsa is probably the most recognizable area of Corfu, offering unique beaches, turqoise waters and a spectacular view. Palaeokastritsa has many restaurants, bars and shops. “TO DO LIST” a boat trip to the caves (optional). Paleokastritsa is arguably the most famous picturesque villages 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.

We had an awesome time with our private driver, Odysseus. Very new, clean car. Very professional driver. We really paid just for the transportation, but Odysseus was very friendly and accommodating, helped us figure out the day with a boat ride and lunch, so he really served as a private guide. Helped us extend the trip an hour, which made a big difference. Highly recommended. Hope to do again.
Our driver’s name was Sakis. He was wonderful. He was on time and gave us wonderful suggestions so that we got the most out of our time with him. Would definitely recommend!!
We had an amazing experience with Odysseas! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. What we appreciated most was how perfectly he adapted the tour to our group, as we were traveling with both children and elderly family members. He adjusted the pace and itinerary to make sure everyone was comfortable while still showing us the best of Corfu. We had such a wonderful day and would highly recommend Odysseas to anyone visiting Corfu! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pickup was in perfect area off ship and easy to get to. Driver was Odysseus and he was careful and responsible getting us to different locations. He was kind and courteous and a local to the area. Paleokastritsa and Glyfada were stunning!
Communication before the excursion was excellent, and we appreciated the flexibility with our start time. The vehicle arrived on time and was clean and comfortable, and our driver, Odysseas, was very professional. We began with a swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea at Glyfada Beach. We then continued to Paleokastritsa, where we enjoyed the beautiful views from the monastery and stopped for drinks at a local restaurant. Our transfer ended in Corfu’s Old Town, giving us time to explore on our own. We had a wonderful day and would happily recommend this excursion.
My wife, 2 adult sons, and I had Marili as our private tour guide. The tour was great and Marili was extremely helpful. She was easy to locate just outside the port from our cruise. I would recommend this excursion to all.
Kostas was an EXCEPTIONAL driver! He navigated extremely narrow streets like a professional. I never felt unsafe with him behind the wheel! Can’t recommend him enough! The company had great communication before our excursion from the ship. We knew our driver the night before and confirmed our meeting time/place.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We truly appreciate your kind words and are delighted that you enjoyed your experience with us.
Marylee took us to two beaches on the island. Her van is very comfortable and air conditioned. We would have liked a little more time at the beaches. Corfu is a very hilly/windy islands so driving between the two beaches took longer than we anticipated. If we were to do this again we would have them take us to just one beach.
Our driver and guide, Hercules was great! We curated exactly what we wanted to do and we were able to do everything. Hercules also brought us to a place to get the best Gyro and the best gelato! Added bonus!
This was the most amazing experience! We were in a nice Mercedes-Benz van with a private driver that catered the tour to our desires. We saw some incredible scenery. He arranged a boat ride with a private driver to take us out to see the beautiful beaches and scenery in the area. He was an amazing tour guide, friendly, and very knowledgeable of the area. I would highly recommend this and would do it again it was so fun.
Thank you so much for your feedback and your kind words. We appreciate it !!!
