Begin at Achillion Palace: A Neoclassical Gem
Your day of discovery starts with a visit to the Achillion Palace, an architectural marvel perched on a hilltop, surrounded by beautiful gardens and adorned with statues inspired by ancient Greek myths.
Built by the Empress of Austria, Elizabeth of Bavaria — affectionately called “Sissi” — in the late 19th century, the Achillion Palace is a testament to timeless beauty, romance, and classical heritage. Its interiors boast intricate frescoes, luxurious décor, and a captivating collection of artworks that reflect the passions and aspirations of one of Europe’s most captivating rulers.
Stroll through its serene corridors, admire its opulent rooms, and step into its meticulously manicured gardens that offer sweeping panoramic views of the Ionian Sea. The statue of Achilles, an homage to the hero after whom the palace is named, captures the romantic allure of this remarkable site.
Discover Corfu’s Old Town: A Journey Through Time
Next, your adventure leads you to the heart of Corfu — its Old Town, a captivating destination steeped in heritage and charm. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Corfu Town is a maze of winding cobblestone streets, bustling squares, and picturesque alleyways adorned with Venetian and British influences.
With your private guide, explore its hidden gems and soak in its timeless beauty. Pause to admire the historic Liston, inspired by the Rue de Rivoli in Paris, and witness daily Corfiot life as it unfolds at its bustling cafés and boutiques. Discover the Saint Spyridon Church, dedicated to the patron saint of Corfu, and wander the old fortresses that bear witness to Corfu’s fascinating past.
Each corner of Corfu Town tells a story — one of heritage, resilience, and timeless beauty — making it one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating old towns.
The Natural Beauty of Paleokastritsa
Your Corfu adventure concludes with a journey to Paleokastritsa, one of the island’s most picturesque coastal gems. Here, nature takes center stage. Framed by steep cliffs and embraced by the deep blues and emerald greens of the Ionian Sea, Paleokastritsa is a serene paradise that captures the very heart of Corfu.
Stroll along its beaches, lined with traditional cafés and tavernas, or relax and soak in the beauty of its natural surroundings. If time allows, visit the historic Monastery of Theotokos, perched atop a hill with panoramic views of the coastline. The monastery is a tranquil haven of spirituality and heritage, where Corfu’s deep connections with nature and faith come together.
