Achileion and Kanoni.
3 hour private sightseeing tour with Makis Ziniatis, a professional english speaking driver.
Your tour begins with a pickup from your Corfu hotel or the cruise port.
Then hop inside your private, air-conditioned vehicle and travel to Pelekas, which is a picturesque and authentic village located near Corfu town. It offers you panoramic views to most beautiful hills. For more than 40 years it has been a favourite hideaway for independent holiday makers who return year after year. The small village is quite busy as it is used as an access point for some of the great beaches nearby.
Then, perhaps head into the village and stop off at a local eatery for a drink or bite to eat (own expense). Only few beach facilities are available as Beach is not so developed. However If you are looking for sandy beaches and traditional tavernas, fringed by the natural beauty of timeless olive groves; water-sports and nightlife; budget or top of the range accommodation; the excitement of high season or the languid early and late summer months; you will always find a warm welcome in Pelekas.
Next, Head to Achillion Palace, The place abounds with paintings and statues of Achilles, both in the main hall and in the lavish gardens depicting the heroic and tragic scenes of theTrojan War. This palace has twisting roads through the olive groves to the village of Agios Deka. You will also find attractive flowers in gardens. The Imperial gardens on top of the hill provide a majestic view of the surrounding green hill crests and valleys as the Lonian Sea gleams in the background.
Pay your entrance fee and head inside to explore independently. Admire the statues, frescoes, paintings and neoclassical architecture, and learn more about the royal residence's long history. There is a hint of something special at the end of the road which unfolds itself at the imposing iron gates of the Achilleion Palace
Cool off inside your air-conditioned vehicle as you travel to one of Corfu’s beautiful beach Perama. The biggest part of the sandy shore is covered with numerous sunbeds and umbrellas while on the side there is some free space for those who want some moments of privacy. A few bars and taverns are located close by. You can also dive into the clean waters for a refreshing swim.
End your tour with a drop-off back at your hotel after approximately four hours of exploring.
