In the beautiful tour of the Palaces of Corfu, we drive from the city of Corfu and along the bay of Garitsa to the area of Paleopolis, the ancient city of Corfu and the Palace Mon Repo. We will make a short stop in the area of Kanoni, a place with a wonderful view of the picturesque Pontikonisi (world famous) and the Monastery of Vlacherna.

At Mon Repos Palace, we enter the palace gardens on foot and from a short path we lead to the palace mansion. The gardens are full of exotic trees, shrubs and flowers, which were given as gifts to local monarchs by diplomats and kings from all over the world.

Corfu became a popular summer vacation destination for the international jet set due to the palaces. Sir Adam, the British Commissioner of the Ionian Islands, erected the mansion as a present to his lovely Corfiot wife, Mrs Palatianou, between 1828 and 1831. It was given to King George A' of Greece as a gift in 1864, and it was used by the local royal family for big parties with their royal friends from all over the world until 1967. Furthermore, you will be given a guided tour of the palace's apartments, which house historic treasures discovered by researchers during previous digs.

Next, we will visit the village of Gastouri, located on the slopes above the southeast coast of the island to tour the impressive Achilles Palace, built by Empress Elizabeth "Sissy" of Austria in 1891 and later owned by Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. We will see the palace rooms and the beautiful gardens that offer panoramic views of the Ionian Sea. The gardens
