Corfu's Best Beaches: Private Tour to Paleokastritsa and Glyfada
Half a day between crystal-clear bays, golden sand, and the timeless scenery of Corfu's most celebrated coastline.
This private Corfu beach tour brings you face to face with two of the island's most iconic stretches of coast — Paleokastritsa and Glyfada — in a single relaxed half-day excursion with a dedicated local driver.
Corfu's 217-kilometre coastline offers a remarkable variety of beaches, from pebble coves to wide sandy bays framed by pine and olive trees. This tour distils that diversity into two carefully chosen destinations that showcase the island's contrasting natural character.
A private, air-conditioned vehicle puts flexibility at the centre of the experience. Your driver adapts the pace to your preferences, allowing you to linger where the scenery or the water draws you in.
The tour suits all ages and fitness levels, and the easy terrain at both beaches means visitors with limited mobility can also enjoy the stops comfortably.
Tour Highlights
Swim in the crystal-clear turquoise waters of Paleokastritsa, one of the most photographed bays in the Ionian Islands.
Visit the historic Monastery of Paleokastritsa, perched on a rocky promontory above the sea with sweeping coastal views.
Optional boat trip to the sea caves of Paleokastritsa for an up-close look at the dramatic limestone formations along the shoreline.
Relax on the wide golden sands of Glyfada, Corfu's most cosmopolitan beach, backed by a lush curtain of pine and olive trees.
Enjoy water sports facilities at Glyfada or simply unwind at a beach bar with a fresh juice or cool cocktail.
Travel in comfort and safety with a knowledgeable local driver in a private, air-conditioned vehicle throughout the tour.
Benefit from a fully customisable itinerary tailored to your group's pace and interests on the day.
Itinerary
Your local driver collects you directly from your accommodation or cruise ship terminal. The transfer to the first destination takes you through the lush green interior of Corfu, setting the scene for the day ahead.
Arrive at this celebrated bay where a rocky green hillside reflects into the sea, giving the water its distinctive blue-green hue. The beach is fully organised with sun beds, umbrellas, tavernas, and shops, so everything you need is within easy reach.
Explore the 13th-century Monastery of Paleokastritsa, which sits on a headland overlooking the bay and holds a small museum of religious artefacts. For those who wish to go further, an optional local boat trip ventures into the sea caves carved into the cliffs along the coastline.
Continue to Glyfada, a wide crescent of fine white sand with shallow, clear water and a backdrop of dense pine and olive trees. Beach bars, water sports rental, and well-organised facilities make this an ideal spot for both active visitors and those seeking a peaceful afternoon by the sea.
Your driver brings you back safely and on schedule to your hotel or cruise ship at the end of the tour.
