Itinerary

Corfu is a wonderful island located off the north-west coast of Greece. It has golden sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and a vibrant nightlife - which is the recipe for the perfect holiday.

It is just the perfect place to enjoy endless beaches, lush green nature dotted with olive trees and typical little villages. We will discover Corfu through dreamlike corners such as Palaiokastritsa and Paxos – and we will certainly be amazed by its impressive rocky coastline. The enchanting atmosphere will make us fall in love with this paradise by the Ionian Sea.

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!

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.

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.

A high-angle view of a small boat floating on clear turquoise water, seen between green trees on a rocky coastline.

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.

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!

Sailboats anchored in a calm bay with turquoise water, a sandy beach, and green, tree-covered hills.

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.

An aerial view of a historic coastal city featuring a fortress, a park, and a large cruise ship in the harbor.

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.
