Cruise-friendly private half-day to Paleokastritsa and Glyfada beaches, with port pickup, air-conditioned comfort, and optional blue caves boat trip.
“My family and I loved this tour. Pick up was right beside our ship in port. We loved visiting the monistary. Just incredible. The beach time was so good. My kids loved the beach and the raft rides. The beach bar was delicious and affordable with clean bathroom. We loved this beach so much we asked for extra time to enjoy it. I loved how accommodating they were for us.”
Swim at Palaiokastritsa, cruise caves by boat, then watch a dramatic sunset at Loggas Beach from Corfu’s west coast.
“Amazing experience, our very cultivated guide Despoina was the best, and the driver Nico was just too nice. I appreciated the trip from the beginning until the end. I would do it again with no hesitation. Thank you again for this beautiful experience!”
A private half-day beach escape in Corfu: Paleokastritsa’s caves and emerald coves, plus Glyfada’s golden sand with hotel or port pickup.
“My family, including twin 15-year-old girls, had a day in Corfu while on a cruise this summer. Vikki was absolutely fabulous to work with in advance of the trip. The little cave boat ride followed by beach time was the perfect adventure for our limited time in Corfu. Our driver helped us along the way, was very personable, and we thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Would highly recommend this tour and this tour organization for anyone who has some time in Corfu.”
Corfu cruise port tour with Paleokastritsa caves-by-boat option, monastery views, and guided Corfu Town walk for about 6 hours.
“The boat ride was beautiful but very uneventful in a tiny wooden boat. The city tour was not was not what I expected for $120 per person. It consisted of a literal walk around a square stopping to point out buildings every few feet. That it's. No buildings were entered and then left with an hour free time which was not enough time to see anything and be back to the pick up spot. The guide and the driver were informative and nice so none of this was their fault. I've used Viator before so shame on them for this. I DO NOT recommend this tour”
Corfu half-day Glyfada Beach break with air-conditioned transport, reserved sunbeds at Pazuzu Beach Club, plus water and a soft drink.
“The guide was very accommodating. There was ana air conditioned van with free wifi that picked us up. We did not receive the included towel or cocktail. There was an issue with the location (they hadn't paid their taxes), but luckily the guide was able to make an arrangement for us.”
Private Corfu tour pairing Paleokastritsa and Glyfada with cruise pickup, onboard Wi-Fi, and flexible beach time in one half-day.
“Our guide, Hercules, was very personable and well-informed. We visited a number of areas all with incredibly beautiful views. He took time for photo stops, took us to an amazing ice cream stop in Lacontes, an olive oil museum with tastings and we finished up with a stop in Corfu where we had authentic Gyros. He was professional, a great driver and a great representative of Corfu.”
A half-day Corfu shore trip hitting Paleokastritsa, a beach break, and Corfu Old Town, timed for cruise ships. Boat caves optional.
“There were not many breaks for exploration, mostly listening to history. We were able at last to break away for an hour of free time downtown.”
A relaxed transfer to Glyfada Beach in Corfu with easy pickup, included beach setup, and time to swim, eat, and unwind.
“This was a great experience! The car service was quick and our driver was friendly and had good recommendations, they even dropped us off in the town center after the beach and took us back to our cruise ship which was above and beyond! The beach was beautiful, sandy and gorgeous clear water. My one small issue was that the music at the beach club was super loud, but otherwise it was a wonderful experience!”
Private Corfu day with Paleokastritsa, Glyfada beach, and Corfu Town. AC pickup, myth-filled views, swims, and UNESCO streets.

A private Corfu beach day for up to 4. Pick 2 top beaches, swim in clear Ionian water, and ride in comfort with an expert driver.

“Our tour of Corfu was very informative and the views and beaches on the west side of the island were spectacular. Our guide, Katerina, was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating, giving us options and letting us choose what we wanted to do. Our driver, Simon, was very professional and courteous as well. Time and money well spent.”
Private Corfu beach tour to Paleokastritsa and Glyfada with pickup, an English driver, AC transport, plus optional sea-cave boat trip.
“Both beaches were nice but they charge 25 euros just to rent a beach chair! Our driver was very nice and even went out of his way to find an open pharmacy on a Sunday as I had a headache. We only wish he would have filled in the time more by talking about the region both past and present.”
