Best Corfu for CRUISE SHIPS including beach break and Old Town
Overview
Embark on a journey through Corfu’s highlights! This shore excursion takes you from your cruise ship to some of the island’s most beautiful locations, starting with Paleokastritsa Bay. Here, you will have 45 minutes to relax on a quiet beach with crystal-clear water.
Next, visit the Paleokastritsa Monastery, a historic site overlooking the bay. Inside, you’ll find centuries-old icons, peaceful courtyards, and excellent views of the Ionian Sea. Please note that reaching the monastery may require a short 15-minute uphill walk due to local conditions.
Your final stop is Corfu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its narrow lanes and Venetian-style buildings. After a guided walk, you’ll have about an hour of free time to shop, explore, or enjoy Greek dishes at a local taverna.
At the end of your excursion, we’ll return you to your ship on time, leaving you with lasting memories of Corfu.
