In a nutshell

The best of both worlds. Not only will you discover Corfu’s breathtaking scenery, but also visit its colonial palaces. At the end of the excursion, if the length of the stopover permits, stay as long as you wish in the city center for a walk and some shopping and then get back on board free of charge with the Costa shuttle bus service, showing your Costa Card to the driver. Check the time for returning on board and of the last available shuttle bus in “Oggi a Bordo”.

Main stops

Mon Repos Palace or Asian Art Museum
Saint Spyridon Church
Kanoni (photo stop)
Corfù city centre (free time)

The programme

Corfu is more lush and verdant than most Greek islands and this is apparent as you drive through groves of olive, orange and lemon trees, interspersed with tall, graceful cypresses.
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.
This charming visit continues to one of the most beautiful places in Corfu: Kanoni, a small island from where the view of white monastery of Vlacherna can be seen, connected to the mainland by a small bridge. We will have the opportunity to take photos to remember this truly evocative sight.
A visit to Corfu Town, including a guided tour, will acquaint you with its elegant charms. Walking through the old town you will visit St Spyridon Church, where in a small chapel you will find the glistening silver coffin of the island’s patron saint.
