What to expect

Corfu's past as the playground of royalty vies with its rugged coastline for top billing in this exclusive tour. You'll visit Achillion Palace, Corfu old town, a kumquat distillery and Paleokastritsa. Spiros, one of our local guides, says, ‘‘Empress Sissi of Austria was enamoured with Corfu and its mythological heritage, particularly the story of Achilles – for whom the palace is named, and the gardens are filled with sculptures of Greek gods and goddesses',

The tour kicks off at Achillion Palace. The palace was constructed in 1890 as a private residence for Elizabeth (Sissi), the former Empress. It was used as her summer getaway before her untimely and tragic assassination in 1898 in Geneva. Today, visitors can appreciate the powerful mural of Achilles carrying Hector's body, and remember the palace's appearance in the James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only.

We'll then make the short trip into the old town for a guided walk. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its urban and port ensemble, which boasts Venetian fortresses and British neoclassical architecture. Next, there's a visit to a family-owned kumquat distillery. Here, you'll learn all about this citrus fruit and products made from it – marmalade, syrup and liqueur among them. Rounding off the day is the seaside village of Paleokastritsa. You'll have free time here to visit the Orthodox monastery – admission is free – or the many coves with beaches. A boat trip can also be arranged here.

Pokazanie ciekawych miejsc, przewodniczka Pani Paulina bardzo dobrze i ciekawie opowiada o wyspie, dobra organizacja pod wzgledem czasu i przemieszczania sie po wyspie, dobry kierowca poradzil sobie z trudnymi zakretami. Do polepszenia - mozna byloby dac chociaz +0,5 godziny wiecej czasu na oprowadzenie z przewodnikiem po starym miescie Korfu. Jedna godzina to za malo na zwiedzanie Starego Miasta i wypicie kawy. Poza tym Ok.

Super przewodniczka, super samoloty+palac+miasto Korfu. Dobre jedzenie w restauracji w Paleo. Jak dla mnie mozna bylo odpuscic ostatni punkt, czyli wizyte w sklepie z drobna degustacja oliwy itd. Przydaloby sie za to wiecej czasu wolnego w miasteczku Korfu, nawet i pól godziny juz by zrobilo róznice.

Pani Przewodnik rewelacyjna. Ogromna wiedza, której sama bym nie zdobyla. Takze swietny kierowca. Niestety uwazam, ze punkt wycieczki jakim jest miasto Korfu zostal potraktowany po macoszemu. Mam ogromny niedosyt. Zamiast degustacji i zakupów mozna poswiecic czas na zwiedzanie najwazniejszego miasta wyspy.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Flavours of Corfu, Cook with Locals at an Organic Farm

Feel the soul of Corfu at Bioporos Organic Farm, situated on the banks of Korission lagoon. Your deep dive into Corfiot farming begins with an introduction to your hosts for the day and the true stars of the show: the farm's owners.First, you'll join the host's mother who will teach you how to make organic cosmetics, such as face masks, beeswax cream, and more. You'll use ingredients which you can find in your kitchen or garden back home, and take your creations with you at the end of the day.Next, prepare a traditional Corfiot pie, mix up your own tzatziki and knead bread. Your host will light the wood-burning oven and soon you can enjoy the aromas of the slow-cooked pie and bread you helped to prepare.While your lunch bakes, the owner himself will lead you through the farm, proudly showing off his collection of farming tools, his olive trees and bee hives. His tales illuminate the relationship between Corfu and olive farming, and his passion for regenerative agriculture shines through when he demonstrates how he promotes the conservation of endemic plant species. You'll also discover the history of this EU-protected lagoon and its impact on the local people, as well as details of the surrounding wildlife, rare flora and numerous bird species found here.After your trip around the farm, you'll savor lunch fresh from the oven, paired with a fresh salad from the farm's garden. For dessert, relax with a cup of coffee while you gaze over the idyllic scenery.
