Visit Corfu Private Tour: The Best Way to Discover Corfu
A curated journey through the island's most iconic coastal and cultural landmarks, tailored entirely to you.
This Corfu private tour is the most efficient and personal way to experience the island's defining viewpoints, historic monasteries, and charming old town within a single half-day. Designed for travellers who value flexibility and depth, the itinerary moves from olive groves to sea caves to UNESCO-listed streets without wasted time.
The tour begins at Carburi Estate, where the island greets you with locally produced olive oil and authentic Corfiot flavours. From there, the route follows the western coastline to Paleokastritsa, a bay that has drawn visitors for generations with its layered blues, dramatic cliffs, and the ancient Monastery of the Virgin Mary perched above.
Kanoni offers one of the most photographed perspectives in the Greek islands, combining the whitewashed Vlacherna Monastery, the pine-covered Mouse Island, and the spectacle of commercial aircraft descending just overhead. The day closes in Old Corfu Town, a Venetian-era urban landscape that earned its UNESCO World Heritage status through centuries of layered architecture and living culture.

Explore the sea caves of Paleokastritsa on an optional short boat trip from the beach.
Visit the Monastery of the Virgin Mary, accessible by private vehicle without the need to walk uphill.

Travel in a private car or minivan with a customisable itinerary shaped around your interests.
Itinerary
1
Carburi Estate - Local Olive Oil Tasting
The tour opens at Carburi Estate, a family-owned olive oil producer where guests receive a first taste of authentic Corfiot ingredients. The owners walk you through the local products before the road journey begins.
2
Paleokastritsa Beach - West Coast Coastal Stop
Arrive at Paleokastritsa, Corfu's most celebrated beach, set within a series of coves edged by turquoise water. Guests may swim, walk the shoreline, or join an optional boat trip to the sea caves at an additional cost.
3
Monastery of the Virgin Mary - Paleokastritsa
The private vehicle climbs to the hilltop Monastery of the Virgin Mary, sparing guests the steep walk while delivering panoramic views over the bay. The monastery offers a quiet and historically layered setting above the coast.
4
Kanoni Viewpoint - Mouse Island and the Runway
Kanoni is one of the island's most distinctive vantage points, framing Vlacherna Monastery and Mouse Island against the open sea. The proximity to the airport runway creates a rare scene as aircraft pass low over the water.
5
Old Corfu Town - Free Exploration
The final stop is the UNESCO-listed Old Town, where guests receive approximately one hour of independent time. The Venetian-era streets, Liston arcade, and twin fortresses reward unhurried exploration.
