See Paleokastritsa Beach, its hilltop monastery, and Corfu Old Town on a practical five-hour cruise excursion with free time.

“Penelope was absolutely fantastic. She sent texts with photos and instructions of the meeting point. She was friendly and approachable. The car was spotlessly clean. She gave interesting information along the way and clear instructions about where to meet and advice on what to do at the stops. She even gave us extra time in Corfu Town which was appreciated. She gave us chocolates upon departure and bought my daughter a lovely bracelet as a gift. There was never ANY worry or doubt about getting back to the cruise ship on time. For the cost I can’t recommend this trip enough. 5*****.”

There were plenty of samples along the way to satisfy any hunger pains, plus the walk through the meat and fish markets was particularly interesting.”
