Corfu's past as the playground of royalty vies with its rugged coastline for top billing in this exclusive tour. You'll visit Achillion Palace, Corfu old town, a kumquat distillery and Paleokastritsa. Spiros, one of our local guides, says, ‘‘Empress Sissi of Austria was enamoured with Corfu and its mythological heritage, particularly the story of Achilles – for whom the palace is named, and the gardens are filled with sculptures of Greek gods and goddesses',

The tour kicks off at Achillion Palace. The palace was constructed in 1890 as a private residence for Elizabeth (Sissi), the former Empress. It was used as her summer getaway before her untimely and tragic assassination in 1898 in Geneva. Today, visitors can appreciate the powerful mural of Achilles carrying Hector's body, and remember the palace's appearance in the James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only.

We'll then make the short trip into the old town for a guided walk. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its urban and port ensemble, which boasts Venetian fortresses and British neoclassical architecture. Next, there's a visit to a family-owned kumquat distillery. Here, you'll learn all about this citrus fruit and products made from it – marmalade, syrup and liqueur among them. Rounding off the day is the seaside village of Paleokastritsa. You'll have free time here to visit the Orthodox monastery – admission is free – or the many coves with beaches. A boat trip can also be arranged here.

Corfu Tour with Achillion Palace and Paleokastritsa

Northern Corfu is all idyllic villages, monuments and rugged coastline. Head into sun-dappled rolling hills to discover Achillion Palace, the scenic Paleokastritsa coast and many other delights. There's also a visit to a kumquat distillery to sample this trademark Corfu liqueur. Spiros, one of our local guides, says, ‘Kumquat liqueur is a uniquely Corfu phenomenon – it's made nowhere else in Greece. It's a part of our Corfiot identity. To learn how this Asian fruit came to the island is a real eye-opener.'You'll visit some of Corfu's top attractions. First up is Achillion Palace. The palace boasts stirring views of the Corfu coast, and the meticulously landscaped gardens are a work of art. Spiros adds, ‘Empress Sissi of Austria was enamoured with Corfu and its mythological heritage, particularly the story of Achilles, and the palace and gardens are filled with sculptures of Greek gods and goddesses.' The vistas are also top-notch at the seaside village of Paleokastritsa. You'll have free time to visit the Orthodox monastery – admission is free – or the many coves with beautiful beaches. A boat trip can also be arranged here.Plus, you'll get to sample the trademark flavour of rural Corfu. There's a visit to a family-owned kumquat distillery. Here, you'll learn everything there is to know about this exotic citrus fruit. Marmalade, soda drinks and syrup are just some of the products made from kumquat. But it's the sweet and fragrant liqueur – often sold in Corfu-shaped bottles – that's become an island icon.

Premier Corfu Tour including Bella Vista and Old Perithia

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. Kassiopi, with its busy little fishing harbour and pretty lace shops, is a delight. Rounding off the day is a visit to Corfu town's Venetian-built Old Fortress. It boasts a Greek revival church and great views over the old town. What's more, admission fees help maintain the fortress and purchases in the villages support the local economy.
