Discovering Corfu’s Hidden Gems

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for experiences that can captivate both adults and children alike. When I heard about the Corfu Shore Excursion and its promise of a private guided tour with complete sightseeing, I knew it was something I had to try. Our journey began with a comfortable pickup from our hotel, and the excitement in the air was palpable as we set off to explore the beautiful island of Corfu.

Our first stop was the Achilleion Museum, a place that immediately captured the imagination of my kids. The museum, with its grand architecture and fascinating history, was a perfect introduction to the island’s rich cultural heritage. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing stories that brought the past to life in a way that even my youngest could appreciate. It was a wonderful start to our day, and I could already tell that this tour was going to be something special.

A Stroll Through Corfu Old Town

Next, we headed to Corfu Old Town, where we had an hour of free time to explore. The narrow streets, filled with charming shops and cafes, were a delight to wander through. My children were particularly taken with the local crafts, and we spent a happy hour browsing and picking out souvenirs. The town’s vibrant atmosphere was infectious, and it was easy to see why it’s considered the heart of the island.

We also took the opportunity to taste some local delicacies, including the famous olive oil. The flavors were incredible, and it was a great way to introduce the kids to the culinary traditions of Corfu. The time flew by, and before we knew it, it was time to move on to our next destination.

Breathtaking Views and Relaxation

Our final stops were the Paleokastritsa Beach and Monastery. The beach, with its stunning turquoise waters, was a sight to behold. We opted for the optional boat trip to the Caves of Paleokastritsa, and it was an adventure that thrilled the whole family. The caves were mysterious and beautiful, and the boat ride was a highlight of the day.

The Monastery of Virgin Mary offered breathtaking views that were perfect for family photos. The serene atmosphere was a lovely contrast to the bustling town, and it provided a moment of reflection and relaxation. As we stood there, taking in the panoramic views, I felt a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity to share such a beautiful experience with my family.

The Corfu Shore Excursion was everything I hoped it would be and more. It was a day filled with discovery, laughter, and unforgettable memories. If you’re planning a trip to Corfu, I highly recommend this tour. It’s a perfect way to see the island’s highlights while enjoying quality time with your loved ones.
