A salt breeze and the chime of church bells greet you as the minibus eases out of Corfu Town’s narrow lanes and onto the island’s northern coast. Olive groves roll into pine-clad ridges; the Ionian Sea flashes turquoise below hairpin turns. This private shore excursion stitches together the highlights—Old Corfu’s Venetian fortifications, the panoramic promontory at Kanoni, the clifftop Monastery of Paleokastritsa and the island’s best-loved beach—without forcing a single steep scramble.
