Corfu: Paleokastritsa, Castle Views & West Coast Private Tour

Your day begins with a private pickup by your English-speaking driver from Corfu Town, heading west to explore the island’s most iconic coastline. First, discover Paleokastritsa Bay, famed for emerald waters and dramatic headlands, with the option to join a local boat trip to the Blue Eye caves (extra cost). Next, visit the 13th-century Paleokastritsa Monastery, where whitewashed walls, flowered courtyards, and sweeping sea views offer peace and beauty—entry is free, donations welcome. Continue to Lakones – Bella Vista Viewpoint, known as the “balcony of the Ionian,” for panoramic views and a perfect photo or coffee stop. Finally, ascend to Angelokastro, the dramatic Byzantine castle overlooking the sea; a short uphill walk rewards you with 360° vistas (small ticket required, not included). After a day of history and breathtaking scenery, your driver returns you comfortably to your accommodation.
