Ce qui vous attend

Corfou regorge de palais, de monastères et de villages pittoresques. Lors de cette visite en petit groupe, vous vous enfoncerez dans les collines et longerez son littoral accidenté pour découvrir le palais d'Achillion et Paleokastritsa. Vous aurez également l'occasion de goûter aux fruits de la campagne. Spiros, l'un de nos guides locaux, dit : "C'est une visite qui combine paysages, spiritualité et nostalgie. Et les visites de la distillerie de kumquat et du musée de l'huile d'olive offrent un véritable aperçu des traditions rurales."

Au cours de cette excursion à Corfou, vous visiterez quelques-unes de ses principales attractions. Il y a le palais d'Achillion, construit par l'impératrice Sisi d'Autriche un an après une tragédie familiale. C'est dans ses jardins et ses intérieurs d'inspiration classique qu'elle espérait trouver réconfort et consolation. Il offre des vues panoramiques sur la ville de Corfou, le littoral et même la Grèce continentale. Le village balnéaire de Paleokastritsa offre lui aussi une vue exceptionnelle. Vous aurez du temps libre pour visiter le monastère orthodoxe, dont l'entrée est gratuite, ou les criques. Une excursion en bateau peut aussi être organisée.

Vous pourrez ensuite goûter aux saveurs du Corfou rural. Vous visiterez une distillerie familiale de kumquat et en apprendrez plus sur cet agrume et la liqueur douce et parfumée qui en résulte. Vous terminerez par la visite d'un musée local de l'huile d'olive. "Le fait de voir des équipements de pressage historiques dans des installations modernes de pointe fait vraiment ressortir le caractère intemporel de la production d'huile d'olive", ajoute Spiros.

You'll use ingredients which you can find in your kitchen or garden back home, and take your creations with you at the end of the day.Next, prepare a traditional Corfiot pie, mix up your own tzatziki and knead bread. Your host will light the wood-burning oven and soon you can enjoy the aromas of the slow-cooked pie and bread you helped to prepare.While your lunch bakes, the owner himself will lead you through the farm, proudly showing off his collection of farming tools, his olive trees and bee hives. His tales illuminate the relationship between Corfu and olive farming, and his passion for regenerative agriculture shines through when he demonstrates how he promotes the conservation of endemic plant species. You'll also discover the history of this EU-protected lagoon and its impact on the local people, as well as details of the surrounding wildlife, rare flora and numerous bird species found here.After your trip around the farm, you'll savor lunch fresh from the oven, paired with a fresh salad from the farm's garden.

Corfu day tour with Bella Vista, Old Perithia and fortress visit

A great day out in some of Corfu's most beautiful spots. Tragic Empress Sisi fell in love with the island – and you'll see why on this adults-only tour laden with fishing harbours, a deserted village, a fortress and amazing scenery. Eleni, one of our guides, says of her favourite stop, ‘I've lived here all my life – and yet the first time I visited Old Perithia, I thought that I was in heaven. That's how special it is.'You won't have long to wait to discover it, but first up is Bella Vista. Here, you can gaze at the Paleocastritsa coastline from above. ‘The views over heart-shaped bays will reveal why locals call it the Balcony of the Gods,' says Sofia, another of our expert local guides. Next, you'll head to the once-abandoned village of Old Perithia. Take a stroll among restored Venetian-era stone dwellings and groves teeming with wildflowers, almond, oak and walnut trees. ‘You'll not only get the historic background,' says Eleni. ‘But also the stories hidden in the walls of the abandoned houses.'En route to Kassiopi, we'll enjoy lunch with local wine in a family owned taverna.
