At Achilleion Palace, discover its gardens and artwork, including Greek statues of Zeus and Hera, the Peristyle of the Muses and the Dying Achilles. The route also includes the Kanoni area and Panagia Vlacherna, known for its wood carvings and frescoes. From Kanoni Hill, look out across the Aegean Sea towards Mouse Island. If time allows, you can catch a boat to the island and visit the 13th-century Church of Pantokrator.

Marcos was outstanding. He was there when we got off the ship. He is a great driver and he knows his stuff. I would absolutely recommend him!!!

Great tour! I recommend it! Our driver, Markos, was very attentive to our wishes and also provided us with a wide range of explanations about everything we saw. The palace has been closed for renovation since 2018, and only the gardens are accessible, but they are very pretty nonetheless. Paleokastritsa (we didn’t remember that it was included, but we went there, and it’s very pretty, with a beach featuring turquoise water and a view point. Thank you, Markos.)

Our driver Spiros was world class, gave us a lot of information about Corfu, was extremely helpful in handling our sister-in-law's wheelchair and our mother-in-law who was no longer so mobile. The pick-up from the cruise terminal was on time and the tour was tailored to our wishes. A private excursion couldn't be better!

It was a very nice outing, however, think more time at Palace, and less in Corfu town would be much better. As we had all been there before, more time seeing island would have been better.
