Highlights
- ✓Tour Paleokastritsa’s coast and villages on a scooter trip from Corfu Town
- ✓Fun and hassle-free way to tour: feel the fresh air and let a guide navigate
- ✓Follow scenic roads, discover villages, visit a castle, and enjoy lunch
- ✓Opt to drive a Vespa or Piaggio with a passenger or upgrade to drive solo
What you'll see & do
- ✓At our office you will meet your Tour escort, you will try our Vespa helmets and you will choose the right helmet size for you. Before the tour begins you will be asked to sign a liability waiver. As long as you stay at our office you can lay down at our lounge and you may enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee or tea.
- ✓The Enotis Museum offers visitors a journey through the history of the Corfiot olive tree, olive oil, and the local traditional olive oil production. Placed in a picturesque location on the hill of Vistonas and not far from Palaiokastritsa Bay, the Museum is a must-see place for every visitor to Corfu Island.
- ✓Angelokastro (castle of Angels) is one of the most important fortified complexes of Byzantine Corfu. Getting to Angelokastro will require about an hour driving from Corfu town but the beauty of the area will reward you for your effort. The view from the castle is breathtaking.
- ✓The village of Lakones is a gorgeous settlement near the cosmopolitan area of Paleokastritsa in western Corfu. This village boasts a beautiful view of the landscape, the Ionian Sea, and the Bay of Paleokastritsa, situated at an altitude of over 180 meters above sea level! Here, you will enjoy a refreshment and a light snack while admiring the Palaioakstritsa view from above!
- ✓Between 1908 and the first world war, Kaiser Wilhelm II spent his summers at Achillion Palace but his favorite location was the village of Pelekas where he wants to build the Achillion palace in the first place. It’s not difficult to understand why. Standing at his “throne” you have a 360-degree panoramic view of the island and one of the most impressive sunsets.
- ✓As we return back to our office and meeting point we will pass by Corfu old town, the old fortress, the Spianada square, the Liston, the Palace of St. Michael and St. George, Mouragia, the old port area, and the new fortress.
