Private Tour: The Palaces of Corfu, Corfu

Corfu has a rich history of aristocratic elegance, thanks to its numerous royal families. On this private tour, you'll visit the island's most imposing palaces, many surrounded by nature, impressive views, and fresh air from the Ionian Sea.

Your first stop is Achilleion Palace, built by Princess Sisi. This Empress of Austria was known as a woman obsessed with beauty. Because Sisi admired Greek mythology and culture, she designed the entire palace to honor Achilles, a character representing strength and vulnerability.

Next, visit the majestic "Old Palaces," built by the British Empire and once named "Palace of Saints Michael and George." Your private guide will lead you down the mansion's complex of halls and buildings, featuring Roman architectural styles and captivating gardens.

The final stop on this tour is Mon Repos Palace, situated on the very hill where archaeologists claim Corfu's ancient city once perched. This palace was a gift from a British commissioner to his beloved Corfiot wife.
