What makes Sunset Private Cruise to Mouse Island a unique experience ?
Originally built by the Byzantines in the 6th century, the fortress underwent significant transformations under the rule of the Venetians from the 14th to the 18th century. The imposing structure we see today showcases a unique blend of Byzantine, Venetian, and British influences. The Old Fortress has played a pivotal role in protecting Corfu from numerous invasions, with its towering walls, moats, and strategic vantage points that offer breathtaking panoramic views of the island and the sparkling Ionian Sea. The Old Fortress is not only a captivating historical attraction but also a thriving cultural hub. It regularly hosts art exhibitions, concerts, and other events within its enchanting premises, making it an essential stop for anyone visiting Corfu. Take a step back in time and immerse yourself in the fascinating history of the Old Fortress. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for Corfu’s heritage and unforgettable memories of your journey through the island’s past.
Mon Repos Palace is a symbol of Corfu’s rich heritage and a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Constructed in 1828 by British Commissioner Sir Frederick Adam as a gift for his Corfiot wife, Mon Repos Palace elegantly combines British, Greek, and Ionian architectural influences. The palace later served as a summer residence for the Greek royal family and even became the birthplace of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Today, Mon Repos houses a fascinating museum that showcases an extensive collection of artifacts, ranging from prehistoric relics to Roman mosaics and sculptures unearthed from the ancient city of Paleopolis.
Mouse Island, or “Pontikonisi” in Greek, a tiny, verdant islet nestled in the crystal-clear waters of Corfu. Steeped in myth and natural beauty, this picturesque destination has captured the hearts and imaginations of locals and visitors alike for centuries. According to local legend, Mouse Island was formed when the ship of the ancient Greek hero Odysseus was turned to stone by the god Poseidon. Today, the island’s lush greenery and rocky coastline create a breathtaking scene that has become an iconic symbol of Corfu. At the heart of Mouse Island lies the Byzantine-era church of Pantokrator, dating back to the 11th or 12th century. This charming whitewashed chapel, adorned with a red-tiled roof and surrounded by cypress trees, offers a serene retreat for prayer and reflection. During the annual feast of Pantokrator in August, the church becomes the center of a vibrant celebration, with locals and tourists flocking to the island by boat to partake in the festivities.
