What people are saying about Ionian Islands

This was one of the highlights of our trip as it was a unique way to see Corfu. We were picked up by the owner (had to pay extra, but worth it). It is a family owed business. Which made it even more personal. We were able yo go to the beach. Spend about 40 minutes there and then up to the tallest mountain. It was a great ride. The view from the top allowed us to see all of Corfu. We were given a fairly large sandwich amd water while enjoying the view. It was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour!.

We really enjoyed every moment. Is nice to see your teenage one with open mouth inside the caves. We get plenty time for swimming. Just probably more time will be nice for explor Paxos island.

这次旅程非常开心,为我们开车的师傅也非常友好,很早就到酒店来接我们,一天行程中也积极与我们交流,给我们介绍当地的历史文化。由于是定制的行程,师傅按照我们的意愿稍微修改了原定路线,把我们希望可以游览的部分都看到了。这里真是一个很美丽的小岛,游客不多,饭很好吃还便宜,当地人都很友好。非常推荐大家来玩。
