Corfu Shore Excursion: Boat Ride or Beach, Monastery & Old Town

See Corfu's highlights in one cruise day on this 5-6 hour shore excursion, planned around your ship's docking time. Port pickup and drop-off are included, and your return to the ship is guaranteed. First stop is Paleokastritsa, where dramatic cliffs drop into crystal-clear water. Spend 1.5 hours here: take the 45-minute wooden boat trip along the coast (boat option), with a chance to slip into the sea caves when the sea allows, or relax on the beach instead. Next, visit the 13th-century Holy Monastery of the Virgin Mary, high on a hill with sweeping views over the bays, while your guide shares its story. Access is by vehicle or a 15-minute uphill walk, depending on local conditions. Finish in Corfu's UNESCO-listed Old Town with a guided walk through its narrow lanes, then about an hour on your own for shopping, wandering or Greek food. We drive you back to the port with time to spare, so your day ends relaxed, not rushed. If your ship cannot dock, you get a full refund.
