Corfu Shore Excursion: Danilia Village & Old Town
Enjoy a private tour in Corfu that combines two very different faces of the island: Danilia Village, the famous filming location of The Durrells, and the UNESCO-listed Corfu Old Town. Your English-speaking driver welcomes you at the cruise terminal or your hotel, making this the ideal private shore excursion for cruise passengers with limited time in port.
Step into Danilia, a faithful replica of a 1930s Corfiot village, where fans of the series recognize old Corfu Town corner after corner. Wander the cobbled streets, visit the folk museum, and relax at the traditional kafeneio, where your entrance ticket is fully redeemable. Then continue to Corfu Old Town for the Liston promenade, Spianada Square, the Church of Saint Spyridon, and free time for shopping and a taste of kumquat liqueur.
Because Danilia closes for private events, we confirm availability for your date in advance, and every tour is planned around your ship's schedule with your on-time return guaranteed. Book your private Corfu tour directly with us.
Pick-Up from the Cruise Terminal
- Begin your day with a private transfer from your hotel or the cruise terminal in Corfu, with your English-speaking driver waiting for you upon arrival.
Visit Danilia Village
- Your first stop is Danilia Village, a faithful replica of a 1930s Corfiot village and one of the island's most unusual attractions. Famous as the filming location of the ITV series The Durrells and scenes from the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only, the village feels like stepping onto a living film set, and fans of the series will recognize corner after corner from old Corfu Town as it appears on screen; your driver can point out where the best-known scenes were shot. Because visits are limited and the village hosts private events, we confirm availability for your date in advance, something most visitors only discover at the gate. Wander the cobbled streets lined with stone houses and colorful shutters, visit the folk museum with authentic artifacts from across Corfu, browse the small shops with handmade local products, and relax with a drink at the traditional kafeneio.
Explore Corfu Old Town
- Continue to Corfu's UNESCO-listed Old Town, a maze of cobbled streets, elegant Venetian architecture, and lively squares. Your driver drops you as close to the pedestrian zone as regulations allow, saving you the long walk in from the tour bus parking. Stroll along the famous Liston promenade, admire historic churches such as Saint Spyridon, and cross Spianada Square, one of the largest squares in southeastern Europe. Enjoy free time for shopping and a taste of local specialties such as kumquat liqueur and traditional sweets.
Drop-Off at the End of the Tour
- After a day of history, culture, and local flavors, your private driver returns you to your hotel or directly to your cruise ship with plenty of time before departure.
Important Note
- The entrance fee to Danilia Village is fully redeemable at the village kafeneio, so your ticket essentially becomes your coffee or drink.
- Danilia Village is closed on Mondays and occasionally for private events. We check availability for your date in advance, and on closed days we are happy to suggest an equally rewarding alternative for your Corfu tour.
