What to Know Before You Go

Here are some tips to get the most out of your Corfu trip:

• Wear comfy shoes - think trekking shoes or sturdy sandals - as the day includes some gentle walking.
• Pack sunscreen and a hat, because Greece loves to shine, especially in spring and summer.
• Bring a camera; the views are postcard-worthy, and you'll want to show off that sunset from Afionas.
• Weather-wise, spring and autumn offer mild temperatures, while summer is perfect for beach stops but expect warmer days.
• A light jacket might come in handy in off-season months as evenings can get breezy.
• The drive is smooth but if you're prone to car sickness, take precautions - the off-road sections add a bit of a thrill.
• Let your guide know about any dietary needs ahead of time to get your lunch just right.

Travel light, stay curious, and you'll be all set to soak in everything this experience offers.
