What to expect

  1. Mouse Island
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Go ahead to Kanoni, home to one of Corfu’s most photographed spots: the church of Panagia Vlacherna with Mouse Island (Pontikonissi) just offshore. Descend the steps to the small chapel, connected to the islet by a narrow 300-meter causeway. Optional boat rides (5 minutes) are available for a closer view of the lush green island, whose mythology links it to Ulysses’ legendary voyage. The chapel’s wooden-carved iconostasis and frescoes add a touch of artistry and history to this picturesque location
  2. Achilleion Museum
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Continue to the stunning Achilleion Palace, built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria in the late 19th century. This neoclassical palace is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and offers breathtaking views of Corfu’s coastline. Discover grand halls, elegant staircases, and statues, including the famous Achilles statue, which inspired the palace’s name. Learn about the palace’s history and its connection to European royalty while strolling through one of the island’s most elegant landmarks.
  3. Corfu Town
    2h
    Conclude your tour in the UNESCO-listed Corfu Old Town, a labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets, Venetian-style architecture, and charming squares. Visit the famous Liston promenade, browse boutique shops, and enjoy local specialties like kumquat liqueur, a traditional Corfiot treat. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the town, taking in its history, architecture, and culture before your driver returns you to your ship or hotel.
