Itinerary
Welcome to Corfu
Check-in: let's start this adventure!
Roundtrip flights or transportation to reach the destination are not included in the package, so you can decide from where and when you want to leave! This gives you complete freedom of choice to adjust your travel itinerary to your needs.
Hotel check-in and welcome meeting in Corfu. For dinner we could already taste the local pita gyros – which may soon become our favourite dish on the trip – and then choose a place in town to start off our first night in the best possible way!
Included: overnight stay
Not included: airport transfer, food and drinks
Sidari: Canal d’Amour
Vive l’amour
Early wake-up guys, today we’re heading to Sidari! This little village has something we simply can't miss: the Canal d’Amour (Channel of Love) – a rocky area surrounded by thick vegetation, that homes a collection of bays and canals. According to tradition, all couples that swim there will be in love forever. From Sidari, we can choose to spend the day immersed in the crystal-clear waters of northern Corfu and start this journey with some relaxation, or we can organize an excursion to one of the marvelous lagoons that have formed in this area over the centuries.
Included: overnight stay, car rental
Money Pot: petrol, any admission fees
Not included: food and drinks
Glyfada Beach: spectacular sunsets
Glyfada Beach
Let's get ready for a lazy morning lying on velvety golden Glyfada Beach, where we can rent parasols and sunloungers. Not far from the beach we’ll find a rocky area with some beautiful natural pools. Anyone up for a dip?
Pelekas
Pelekas is a traditional nearby village perched on a rock and surrounded by olive trees. This is truly one of the few places where mass tourism has not spoilt its authenticity or the landscape. The charming central square is peppered with typical Greek taverns where we can sip a Mythos, the most popular Greek beer.
Kaiser's Throne
On the way back to Ypsos, we’ll stop to watch the sunset from a strategic spot – Kaiser’s Throne, on one of the highest mountains on the island. This place is famous for the ruins of an ancient observatory where the German Emperor Wilhelm II used to admire the superb panorama of Corfu as he meditated.
Included: overnight stay, car rental
Money Pot: petrol, any admission fees
Not included: food and drinks
Palaiokastritsa: boat trip to the Blue Caves
Palaiokastritsa Beach
Wake up WeRoaders, another wonderful day awaits us! Our main stop is Palaiokastritsa Beach, one of the most stunning pebble and sand beaches in Corfu. On the way up there we’ll stop by Palaiokastritsa Monastery, a masterpiece and living testimony to Greek monks' way of life. It is located on top of a promontory overlooking the village. The Monastery is still inhabited, so we need to be dressed properly and respect the monks who live here. From Palaiokastritsa Beach we will then go on a boat ride to discover Paradise Beach and its caves.
Included: overnight stay, car rental, Palaiokastritsa boat ride
Money Pot: petrol, any admission fees
Not included: food and drinks
Paxos Island: the pearl of the Ionian Sea
An unmissable paradise
We have an early start today, but it's totally worth it – we'll catch the ferry heading for Paxos, a precious gem in the heart of the Ionian Sea. This little island boasts only a few square kilometre of exquisite coastline, adorned with charming villages, quaint harbours and idyllic pebble beaches. To the west, majestic ivory cliffs plummet into the glistening turquoise waters, while to the east, a number of small coves gradually descend into the serene emerald waters. At the centre of Paxos, a lush oasis of olive groves, oleanders and cypress trees thrives. Paxos is undoubtedly a paradise that we simply cannot afford to miss, and we won't let the opportunity slip away!
Included: overnight stay, car rental
Money Pot: petrol and admission fees if any, cruise to Paxos (subject to availability)
Not included: rental of beach items, food and beverages
From the waters of the Blue Lagoon to the sands of Issos Beach
Blue Lagoon
This morning we start the day with a light breakfast and head to Lefkemi. Here, the first excursion of the day awaits us: a boat trip to the turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon. We have about 40 minutes of sailing ahead to reach Syvota, the area of the Blue Lagoon. We can choose to spend this time relaxing under the sun or with energy and music, depending on the mood of our travel companions!
Issos Beach or Barbati Beach?
And here we are at this pristine golden beach stretching for miles, which also boasts sand dunes, reminiscent of the desert. If we were to get bored under the beach umbrella, we could do something more active on another wonderful beach – Barbati! We are spoilt for choice here: kayaking, windsurfing or jet ski excursions... before we get to enjoy another sunset by the sea.
Included: car rental
Money Pot: petrol, any admission fees
Not included: food and drinks
From Sissi’s Palace to Corfu Town: shopping and food
Achilleion
A few kilometres from Corfu Town, we’ll admire Princess Sissi’s summer palace, a mansion that was designed by an Italian architect and which was inspired by the myth of Achilles. Today it has been converted into a museum of Greek mythology and it offers wonderful sea views as well as beautiful gardens with tall palm trees and flowers. Did you know the palace was also used as the set for the 12th James Bond film?
Corfu Town
It’s time to explore Kerkira – this is the name of Corfu Town in Greek. Here the large main square divides the town centre from the old city. Corfu Town is a maze of narrow streets, leading into small squares surrounded by typical cafés and traditional restaurants. A must-see is the old district, with a 16th-century fortress, small chapels, craft shops and colourful markets. The Royal Palace overlooking the sea is home to the Art Gallery and Asian Art Museum. The old town is characterised by typically Venetian architecture, whilst French inspiration can be seen in the Liston Palace. The local churches hark back to the Byzantine Empire, while the temple of Artemis is Doric in style.
Included: overnight stay, car rental
Money Pot: petrol, any admission fees

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.
Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!
The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.
The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.
It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.
The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.
We offer several payment methods to fit every need:
1. Credit or prepaid card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express);
2. Instalment payment with Scalapay up to €4,999 (only available with the “Full trip payment” option – not available with the “Deposit and balance” option; pay in 3 instalments up to €1,200 or in 4 instalments over €1,200);
3. PayPal (for selected destinations);
4. Revolut Pay to pay even faster straight from your Revolut account;
5. Welfare credit – BEFORE BOOKING, reach out to us at [email protected].
If you choose the deposit and balance option, you’ll also be able to pay the balance via bank transfer from your Personal Area.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. (Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.) If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option. Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.
The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!
Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements!
It also helps us speed up payments – imagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.
In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants.
The amount of the money pot is specified in each trip – look for this button
which will take you to a detailed breakdown for each trip, like this:
Once you're signed up to a trip with us you can find out this info via your My WeRoad account. Once your trip is confirmed and you've booked your flights you'll be able to upload this information directly onto your account, and see the flight details of other travellers on your trip who have also uploaded this info.
Within My WeRoad if you click on 'Bookings and Trips', select the right tour under 'Upcoming Trips' and see the flight details here. If there's no flights just yet, that will mean no one has booked flights on the trip just yet but keep an eye here for when they do!
In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.
On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.
All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curious to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can see this by finding the trip on our website, and clicking the down arrow to see the ages & genders of participants. You'll need to have created a WeRoad account with us to do this.
Any issues finding this info just give our team in the office a call, we're always happy to help!
Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.
Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking – although, in our opinion, that kind of spoils the surprise! You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!
Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.
The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!
You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.
But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
