Transfer Services in Corfu Island

If you are fortunate enough to experience a summer cruise in the Mediterranean Sea you are sure to visit some of the top worldwide holiday destinations. Corfu Island is one of them and is on most itineraries for cruise ship stop overs on the eastern shores. Corfu Town is a UNESCO World Heritage listed location for its cultural value and historical heritage.

Corfu was a Venetian colony for many centuries which influenced the town’s architecture as well as the islander’s spoken language and temperament. As you arrive by boat the view of the town that has also been named Little Venice after its distant cousin, is unique. Surpassed only by a boat’s entry into the Italian city’s Grand Canal, the experience of arriving at the port of Corfu is tantalizing.

Recognized for its strategic importance the port of Corfu is overlooked by two imposing fortresses and the facades of many grandiose houses of distant noblemen and more affluent families in the past. Corfu Town is a historical city in its essence that is trying to accommodate the needs of a modern future. Once you arrive at the port the Old part of Corfu Town is a footstep away to discover at your leisure.

Most cruise ship stop overs, however, are limited by tight time schedules. Corfu Island has many historical sightseeing destinations as well as being famous for its natural beauty both coastal and further inland. There is in fact much to see and choose from. Rather than being overwhelmed by trying to do as much as possible why not book into a tour specifically designed for cruise ship passengers?
