CORFU ISLAND: Alternative Grand Island Tour

The view of Mouse Island from Kanoni, the Achillion Palace, and the Paleokastritsa area are the top three must-visit tourist attractions in Corfu. Don't settle for the crowded coach trip that most visitors opt for. Take charge of your Grand Island Tour with your own car or scooter and our app-based guide. You will have the freedom to stop and shop wherever you like, eat and swim at your convenience, and explore supplementary activities and sights that are not available to coach passengers who are on a strict schedule. With our audio guide and clear maps, you will confidently navigate around the island's most popular landmarks. 

Avoid the conventional coach tour, which is constrained by a strict timetable, the presence of a crowd, and the size of the coach.

This tour covers not only the 'Holy Trinity must-sees' but also other top sights that are not included in coach-based tours. You will visit Mon Repos Park, the Kaiser's Throne Viewpoint, Angelokastro Fortress, and Old Makrades Village. Besides, we strongly recommend three extra museums that feature archaeology, a terrarium with live reptiles, and olive oil production. Additionally, there are three walks to take, and possibly a boat trip. To make the most of your day, please take a look in advance at the list of activities that we have included in this tour.
