Pass through the main part of the town and head out into Corfu's lush and verdant countryside of olive, orange and lemon trees.
Visit Mon Repos Palace, built in 1828 for the second British High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands, Sir Frederic Adam, as a summer residence. The second son of King George I, George II was born here in 1869, and the late Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, was born and baptized here in 1921. The Greek Royal family spent their summer holidays at Mon Repos, hosting illustrious guests such as Tito of Yugoslavia, Haile Selasie of Ethiopia and Nasser of Egypt.
Continue to Kanoni for a distant view of the Convent of Vlacherna and Mouse Island.
Return to town by a different route for a guided walk through the narrow streets of the Old Town. Stop at beautiful St Spiridon Church before returning to the ship.
Notes:
Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience. Mon Repos Palace is closed Tuesdays; the Corfu Museum of Asian Art will be substituted.
