About this experience
You will meet with the 'lady of the Ionian Sea' - the island of Corfu, named for the beauty of its local nature. You will admire the blueness of the waves and the lush greenery, the panorama of the snow-white monastery and the bay that steals hearts. Enjoy the tastes of Corfu and see the ruins of the fortress above the sea. And my stories about life in Greek will complement this eventful day.
What awaits you
Beautiful spots of Corfu
We will head to Kanoni, the old district of Corfu, where we will go 'hunting' for planes! The only runway here is built right on the sea - you will take unusual pictures with planes at a very close distance, standing on the bridge that connects Kanoni with the town of Perama. From here, we will admire the postcard view of Corfu - the Vlacherna monastery and the tiny island of Pontikonisi.
Impressive panorama awaits you at the Kaiser's observation post Wilhelm II: you will see half of Corfu, mainland Greece, and even the coast of Albania, and also trace our route.
Of course, I will take you to Paleokastritsa, a resort on the northwest of the island. This corner of Corfu is known for heart-shaped bays - you will look at them from the best angle, at the Angelokastro fortress on the top of the cliff, and I will tell you about this Byzantine citadel.
Plots and life of the island
How is Kanoni related to Admiral Ushakov? What was the German Kaiser doing in Corfu? I will easily and clearly tell you common historical facts about our island. In the picturesque village of Pelekas, over a cup of coffee in a scenic café, you will experience the Greek mentality, which is expressed simply as 'siga-siga'. Having grown up in Corfu, I will gladly share personal observations about local life.
🍊 Along the way, we will also stop for a tasting at a family shop: you will be treated to the famous kumquat liqueur, homemade olives, wine, and olive oil.
