✔ Trivaction approved

Discover the authentic side of Corfu: From the iconic Kanoni and Panagia Vlacherna to the rare festival of Kyra Dikia, sunset magic in Agios Gordios, and boat rides through Paleokastritsa's sea caves. Explore our full day-by-day Corfu itinerary!

Day 1

We begin our journey at iconic Kanoni, taking in the enchanting view of the Panagia Vlacherna Monastery and picturesque Pontikonisi (Mouse Island), as planes pass low overhead. We stroll the causeway to Vlacherna and end the day with our first authentic Corfiot dinner, as the sun sets over the lagoon.

Day 2

A day steeped in tradition and history: we hop on a local boat to discover the hidden Monastery of Kyra Dikia, tucked away in dense pine woods, where a rare festival held only twice a year comes to life, and swim in its crystal-clear waters. We then climb to the imposing Byzantine Angelokastro, its views leaving us breathless.

Day 3

We start with panoramic views from Kaiser Wilhelm II's Throne in Pelekas, dive into the emerald waters of the legendary cliffside La Grotta Bar, and set sail on a boat tour through Paleokastritsa's spectacular sea caves — the "Blue Eye," the "Cave of Love," and other unique caves. In the afternoon we explore the Venetian alleyways of the Old Town.

Day 4

Explore the old Town of Cofu

Day 5

A full-day boat cruise to the Diapontia Islands — Othonoi, Mathraki, and Diaplo — at the westernmost tip of Greece, where the Ionian meets the Adriatic, with swims in pristine, turquoise-watered beaches, followed by an evening of celebration at an authentic Corfiot village festival.

Day 6

A day full of contrasts in northern Corfu: we begin at the historic Monastery of Paleokastritsa with its enchanting views over the bays, climb up to the spectacular Porto Timoni with its twin beaches, take a dip in the romantic waters of Sidari's Canal d'Amour, wander the stone alleys of the Venetian ghost village of Palaia Perithia, and end on a sweet note at the legendary Galaktopoleio Periklis

Day 7

We dedicate our final day to a leisurely stroll through the picturesque alleys of the old town (cantounia), shopping for traditional Corfiot products — local liqueurs, spices, and handmade pasta — and savoring once more the favorite flavors we discovered during our stay, a sweet goodbye to an island we'll never forget.
