Private Corfu Full-day tour

Danilia Village is located at central Corfu, at a 10km distance from the Corfu airport and Corfu Town. Danilia Village has no permanent residents, as it’s a replica of a 1930’s traditional Corfiot village, used as a museum, filming set, wedding and private events set. The village was rebuilt in the 1970’s after an earthquake by the Boua family as an open-air museum, approaching the atmosphere of the old city of Corfu, in a colourful traditional village style. In Danilia Village you can find two squares, a church, a folklore museum, a traditional cafe, an open-air and an indoor taverna and other replicas of old shops and buildings, filled with antique items. Danilia Village is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy some time in a scenic environment away from modern reality, relax and experience learning Corfu’s history in a set that fits the period.
The village is now part of the Grecotel chain, and it’s open to the public.

Paleokastritsa is arguably the most famous picturesque village of the island of Corfu, located 25 km northwest of Corfu Town. The word Paleokastritsa literally means old little castle, named after Angelokastro, a Byzantine castle that stands on a hill over the village. This cosmopolitan resort stretches along a coastal road around stunning bays and a picturesque harbor where the excursion boats depart for the nearby, isolated beaches. At the end of the road, right after the main harbor is the Monastery of the Virgin Mary that overlooks the village. The monastery hosts an interesting collection of post-Byzantine icons, books and other objects. There, you will discover precious icons from the 15th century.

The location of Kanoni with the church of Panagia Vlacherna below and the Mouse Island (Pontikonissi) are the most famous and photographed spots of Corfu. Legend has it, that Mouse Island was formed when the ship that had taken Odysseus back to Ithaca, his home port, was turned into stone by Poseidon, god of the sea, angry at being defied by the Phaeacians. It is also very frequent that you see an airplane landing and taking off from this spot, as the airport of Corfu is right next to Kanoni.

Corfu town, especially for its oldest part, is one of the most charming and romantic places of all of Greece. It is a perfect example of old Venetian and Byzantine architecture, that will fascinate you with its little streets and its panoramic points. Surrounded by the sea, the old town of Kerkyra is closed between the two Venetian fortresses. Walking between high old houses, you can buy traditional products, walk around the narrow cobblestone streets or kantounia as the locals call them, old Venetian walls and hidden gardens. Every single building, every single street will appear like an open museum, but the joie de vivre of the local people will remind you that the old town is also full of life and full of surprises. The paved streets and the old buildings will guide you to the large beautiful Esplanade and the romantic gallery of Liston; a place that you can’t miss out on visiting while you're on the island.
