Royal and Rustic Corfu

Your scenic drive will take you to the top of Analipsis Hill to visit Mon Repos Palace, where Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh, was born.  Today, it has been turned into the Paleopolis Muesum and houses various fascinating finds from archaeological sites. 

 

Continue to a local, family run shop and business that specializes in Koum Kouat products. This small citrus fruit is grown on the island and is used in liquers and jams. 

 

High in the mountains of Corfu and nestled in a beautiful green camouflage of tall pine, cypress and olive trees is the stunning traditional village of Kato Garouna. Visit the small municipal museum which is housed in an old olive oil factory where the mill is still in place and see how the olive oil was made. At the end of your visit you will be given some free time to explore this beautiful rural village. 

 

A welcome refreshment stop for a glass of local wine with traditional snack of fresh bread with olive oil, feta cheese, olives and salami will be made in a local taverna. A brief photo stop will be made near the Old Fortress of Corfu to take in the beautiful Old Town.
