Corfu Beauty & the Beach Private Tour
From turquoise coves to cobblestone alleys — discover Corfu's finest in four hours.
This Corfu private beach and town tour is designed for travellers who want to experience the island's most iconic highlights without the stress of navigating on their own. In just four hours, you will see two of Corfu's most celebrated destinations at a relaxed, unhurried pace.
Paleokastritsa is widely regarded as one of the most visually striking beaches in the Mediterranean. Crystal-clear waters in shades of emerald and sapphire line the rocky coastline, offering swimming, optional boat excursions to the sea caves, and a clifftop monastery with panoramic views.
Old Corfu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rounds out the experience with its Venetian architecture, narrow winding lanes, and the atmospheric Liston Street, lined with colonnaded cafes and restaurants. Free time here allows each guest to explore at their own pace.
As a private tour, the itinerary adapts to your group's rhythm. Whether you linger at the beach or spend extra time strolling the old town, the experience remains entirely yours.
