Charming Northeast Corfu
"The Kensington-on-Sea" — a name coined by British media — reflects this coast’s discreet, affluent atmosphere and its popularity with royalty and celebrities. Discover the cosmopolitan Kassiopi with its Byzantine castle and charming harbour; the picturesque port of Agios Stefanos; the fishing village of Kouloura; Kalami, where Lawrence Durrell once lived at the "White House"; and the quiet settlement of Nissaki.

Kanoni & Mon Repo Palace
From your hotel, an English-speaking licensed guide meets you for the 20-minute drive through Corfu Town. At Kanoni — named for the French cannon of 1798 — admire Mouse Island (Pontikonisi) and the Vlacherna convent. The highlight is Mon Repo Palace, the Greek royal summer residence and birthplace of Prince Philip of Edinburgh. The Palace is wheelchair-accessible via entrance ramp and lifts between floors, with adapted toilet facilities. Return through the Old Town with panoramic stops at the main square, Old Fortress, and Palace of Saint Michael and Saint George.

Paleokastritsa
One of the most beautiful villages on the island — six small shores with crystal blue seawater, coves, and sea caves. The beach is accessible via ramp, with amphibious chairs available. Admire Paradise, Marmara, Liniodoro, Rovinia, Limni, and Kasteli beaches; spot the lion’s head rock, the blue eye, and the caves of St Nicolas and Nausica. The 13th-century Monastery of Panayia Theotokos houses a 30-metre whale backbone and a late-Byzantine icon collection. Note: the Monastery itself is not accessible — only suitable for guests able to take a few steps with a foldable wheelchair.

Corfu Old Town & Fortress
Begin at the Old Fortress — Venetian foundations with British-era modifications, now home to a small Byzantine museum and the neoclassical St George’s Church. Continue on foot or wheels through the Venetian-style centre: narrow streets, hidden churches, and the French-built Liston colonnade (Rue de Rivoli-style arcades). Choose your interior visit from two fully adapted museums: the Museum of Asian Art (ramps, lift, audio guide, Braille captions) or the Archaeological Museum (ramps, lift, adapted WC — disabled visitors and companion exempt from tickets).
- Private adapted vehicle + walking tour
- Fully accessible museum options

Paxos, Antipaxos & Blue Caves
Paxos’ west coast is a paradise for adventurers who love hidden gems — dramatic sea caves with crystal-clear waters and unique rock formations. Antipaxos is all peace and quiet, with Vrika and Voutoumi beaches famous for their transparent water. Gaios Port offers an accessible flat area from which you can admire the iconic Agios Nikolaos Islet and its Venetian fortress, a five-minute stroll from the heart of town — historical landmarks, local cuisine, and every corner a postcard.
