Fully Accessible Old Town & Scenic Sights

Accessible Old Town Corfu, Museum, and Kanoni

Controlled by the Venetians, the French, and the British before returning to Grecian rule, Corfu's strategic position made it a desirable asset.

Uncover its roots during your first stop: the Palaiopolis-Mon Repos Museum. Housed in a mansion overlooking the Straits of Corfu, it boasts impressive artifacts from all eras of the island's history. After your guided museum tour, continue to the village of Kanoni, named for a cannon that stands on its highest hill. You'll take in sweeping views of myth-steeped Mouse Island, located at the entrance of a lagoon, before returning to Old Town Corfu to see its fortress and enjoy some free time.

Fully Accessible

This tour is fully accessible and can accommodate sailors who are unable to take steps or have a large mobility device.
