Corfu Jeep Adventure

Explore the northern part of Corfu Island and learn everything about the local history and lifestyle. Corfu is well known for its Venetian architecture, beautiful beaches, turquoise ocean, and an abundance of flora and fauna. Discover the Mount of Pantokratoras and enjoy the best panoramic views of Corfu from above while learning much about local history and life.

Your adventure starts when your professional tour guide and driver pick you up in a 4x4 Jeep. You will follow the route up to Nisaki, a beautiful little beach town where you will witness the most breathtaking views in Corfu. You will continue driving to Corfiot village where you need to allow yourself to take in all the beauty that surrounds you while enjoying a cup of coffee or refreshment.

After your morning break, you will take a bumpy, off-road ride through wild vegetation and magnificent panoramic views leading to the top of Mount Pantokrator (The Almighty), the highest mountain on the island. The panoramic views from high above will take your breath away, and you can only get here with your specially equipped four-wheel drive vehicle.

Continuing along the Jeep adventure, you will drive through hidden paths to one of the oldest settlements in northern Corfu, Old Sinies. This settlement stands on the foothills of Mount Pantokrator located about 40 km from Corfu Town and this old abandoned village is a true hidden treasure of Corfu.

As you drive through time, you will learn the fascinating history of this area before you stop for lunch at a small, quaint village that 1,200 people once inhabited and was considered one of the wealthiest communities on the island, Palai (Old) Peritheia. This traditional village is set amidst beautiful countryside with views of the sea where local dishes and flavors accompanied by local wine and Greek hospitality will make you feel at home. Now, suspended in time, Old Perithia remains an enchanting discovery and worth exploring.

As you unwind from an unforgettable adventure, your tour guide will drive you back to port on a comfortable, easy asphalted paved route.

Make sure to book this once in a lifetime opportunity and be ready to be amazed by the beauty of Corfu Island. The trip has guided stops planned every 30-40 minutes for everyone's convenience and comfort.

Best Shore Excursion of the 10 Day Trip!
July 24, 2022
We were met right as we walked out of the port building and the adventure began! Wonderful way to get to see the island and learn a little about the people. Views were amazing, drive was fun, lunch was delicious and friendly. Driver was personable and funny and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. Got away from the other tourist and crowded areas, which was really nice.

We cannot recommend this excursion enough! We were greeted by Juli at the cruise port and we got to spend the day with this amazing person and guide. She was very informative, kind hearted and very skilled driver. This was the best excursion we have ever booked whilst cruising. This excursion is worth every cent.

Excellent Excursion

We were picked up right at the cruise port. Started off with a tour of the touristy areas of Korfu. We were then taken for a cappuccino at a little mountain cafe with a view of the city and ocean. After that upwards on mountain 4x4 trails to a 600 year abandoned village. And finished at an amazing family run Greek restaurant at the top of the mountain. We enjoyed Grappa and home made wines, with an incredible meal of so many home made Greek dishes. The absolute best excursion we had done!

Awesome tour!

This tour was great. We were met at the pier by Fodos and he explained to the 6 of us what we would see and do. And made sure that our schedule was going to get us back at the ship on time. Fodos was a wonderful guide. Spoke well and told us so much about the history of the island and its people. He took us to the top of the mountain where there was a Monastery and a beautiful view of the seas. We then went to a old Roman village and had an beautiful lunch served to us by Tomas and his Family. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Fodos.
