Overview
Experience Corfu like never before with our Grand Island Tour! You'll be able to see and explore more in one day than you would using a traditional map. Our tour will take you to popular locations, such as Kanoni Viewpoint, Achillion Palace, and Paleokastritsa, along with areas inaccessible by bus.
Unlike the bus tour, we don't constrain you with a strict schedule, a large crowd, or a big coach. You can personalise your Grand Island Tour, explore at your own pace, and enjoy your own space. You can stop where you want, eat and swim where you choose, and discover additional activities and sights unavailable on the bus tour.
Our audio guide and marked route will give you the confidence to navigate the island. As you approach each point, the narration automatically opens and displays an image on your screen. So, why wait?
Once you receive the code and instructions from Viaator, please download and open our app and familiarise yourself with its functions before starting the tour.
