Corfu Private Tours
The Achilleion Palace and
the town of Corfu
The most famous ancient Greek poet, named Homer,
sang the praises of the beautiful and rich land
of the Phaeacians. Thousands of years later,
Shakespeare also thought this island was the
ideal setting for his play, "Tempest". Since
these times Corfu has been known as an island
that stands apart from other Greek Islands.
You will meet your licensed guide at the port of
Corfu and drive away from the city and into the
fertile area of orange and lemon groves until
you reach the Achilleion Palace. You enjoy a
private guided tour of the villa which was built
100 years ago. The villa contains mementos of
its former owners, the Empress Elisabeth of
Austria and Kaiser Wilhelm II. The gardens are
adorned with statues and the views over the
densely wooded countryside are magnificent.
After your visit of the Achilleion Palace you
will head to the town of Corfu. On the way is a
photo stop at a vantage point (Kanoni) which
offers wonderful views of the bay with Mouse
Island and the little chapel clearly visible.
When you get into the town of Corfu town your
guide will provide a short walking tour along
the famed Esplanade, past the cricket pitch and
include the Church of St. Spiridon, the patron
of Corfu.
After your walking tour you can choose to remain
in town on your own or return to the port by
coach.
