A journey where relaxation, culture and refined elegance blend seamlessly, in true Caractère style.
Day 1: Arrival in Corfu
Upon arrival in Corfu, you’ll be welcomed and transferred to your hotel. Take your time to settle in, enjoy the view and let the island’s tranquillity sink in. In the afternoon, take a refreshing dip in the pool or stroll along the private beach. In the evening, enjoy a delightful dinner at the hotel restaurant with a view of the sea and the setting sun.
Day 2: A day for yourself
Start the day with a generous breakfast on the terrace, followed by a visit to the spa or a relaxing yoga session. The rest of the day is dedicated to pure relaxation: swim, sunbathe, read a book or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings and sea breeze.
Day 3: Discovering Corfu Town
Today you’ll explore the island’s capital, Corfu Town (Kerkyra). Wander through the cobbled streets of the Old Town, where Venetian façades and colourful balconies line the way. Visit the imposing fortresses, the Church of Saint Spyridon and stroll along the elegant Liston Promenade. Have lunch in a charming taverna and soak up the lively atmosphere of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Today you’ll head to one of the island’s most beautiful spots: Paleokastritsa. This legendary bay, with its turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs, is one of Corfu’s true icons.
