Corfu (Kérkyra), Greece

Paleokastritsa Coastal Views by Boat & Old Corfu

Breathtaking Seaside Grottoes and a UNESCO Old Town Discover the natural wonders of Corfu during a cruise along its coastline and visit the UNESCO-listed Old Town. Begin with a drive by motor coach to Paleokastritsa, where pine and cypress trees stand atop rocky promontories and turquoise waters lap the shore. Here, your group will separate and climb aboard small motorboats to trace the coastline, passing by natural grottoes including the caves known as Nafsika, St. Nicolas and the Blue Eye. Discover the island’s past in the Old Town of Corfu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its old quarter is a patchwork of narrow lanes and Venetian and British neoclassical mansions. You will pass the Town Hall and the Old Fortress and visit the elaborately decorated Church of St. Spyridon, where the island’s patron saint is entombed. Conclude with free time at lively Esplanade Square, the largest square in Greece, before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
