The programme

Your first stop is at Mon Repos Palace, situated at the top of Analipsis Hill is the Mon Repos Palace, where Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was born. Today it has been turned into the Paleopolis Museum, and your visit will show you various fascinating finds from archaeological sites. Sweeping coastline views from high up, add to the beauty of the location.
Continuing on to a local, family-run shop and business, Koum Kouat, which specialises in koum kouat products. This small citrus fruit is grown on the island, closely resembles an orange, and is used in liqueurs and jams.
High in the mountains of Corfu and nestled in a beautiful green camouflage of tall pine, cypress and olive trees is the stunning traditional village of Kato Garouna. Visit the small municipal museum which is housed in an old olive oil factory where the mill is still in place and see how the olive oil was made. The last remaining traditional craftswomen will also demonstrate the old art of carpet weaving.
