This accessible Corfu shore excursion combines the very best highlights of the island into one memorable experience. Visit the fascinating Palaiopolis-Mon Repos Mansion Museum, explore and shop in Old Town Corfu, and experience the picturesque Kanoni viewpoint.
Meet your knowledgeable guide and accessible van and head out on a short drive to the mansion, in which the Palaiopolis-Mon Repos Museum is housed. Built at the time of British rule over the Ionian islands, this impressive palace boasts Classical features and impeccably-landscaped grounds. It is where the late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was born. Ancient artifacts found in Palaiopolis are housed here, including household, commercial and religious objects that reveal interesting aspects of the private and public lives led by the ancient Corfiots. Escorted by your tour guide, you will explore the site and learn about the history and stories associated with this historic area.
A beautiful, scenic panoramic drive leads to the charming village of Kanoni. Here, stop at one of the most spectacular viewpoints on the island to see the nearby Mouse Island and learn about how it relates to the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon.
End your day exploring Corfu's Old Town. See the Old Fortress, pretty French-style architecture, ancient streets, and the pastel-colored heart of the city with vibrant Esplanade Square. There's time for shopping if you wish.
Notes: This tour is designed to be accessible for all guests, including those using a wheelchair. The tour operator suggests you bring a companion to assist, as guides are not allowed to push wheelchairs. The tour route avoids stairs; however, the nature of access may differ from the standards you are familiar with at home. Accessible bathrooms with wide doors are available along the tour route. An accessible vehicle with a wheelchair lift or ramp is used for transportation. The number of accessible vehicles available is extremely limited; make your accessible shore excursion reservations as far in advance as possible. Lunch is not included. If appropriate (i.e., on long-duration tours), you will have time to purchase lunch at your own expense during the tour.
This tour option is designed for guests traveling with individuals seeking designated accessible tours or for those who wish to book an accessible tour without requiring specific accommodations, such as a wheelchair anchor. If you require a reservation for a designated accessible space, please select the version of this tour that does not include 'Companion' in the title. This ensures that all guests who need accessibility accommodations have access to the necessary resources and allows us to coordinate effectively with our vendors.
