Private Cruise ship Shore excursions in Greece & Turkey
Regular cruise shore excursions are generally a good introduction to any city, however most seasoned cruise travelers prefer to go sightseeing with a private guide.
The difference between organized and private shore tours is best described as "package versus tailor-made." Some people may feel all right joining a large tour group but sometimes it is difficult to hear the guide and the group moves only as fast as its slowest participant. Others may not get their questions answered at all as there may be twenty other people in the group trying to do the same.
In contrast, a small tour group with a tailor-made program is way more enjoyable and ensures personal attention for everyone. You can spend as much time as you want. Therefore, if you want to maximize your limited time, the private escorted tour — tailored to your unique wishes and interests — is an ideal solution.
All our private shore excursions tours are carefully designed to give you the best possible experience. Our knowledgeable, friendly and qualified tour guide and driver will ensure that your visit ashore is truly memorable. When you tour with us as part of a private shore excursion, your tour guide will get you into sites without waiting in lines. That is especially valuable given the limited time you have to spend on ashore.

Paleokastritsa (Greek: Παλαιοκαστρίτσα meaning Old Castle place, referring to nearby Angelokastro) is a former municipality on the island of Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Corfu, of which it is a municipal unit. It has a land area of 48.379 km² and a population of 4,395 (2001 census) and is located on the west coast of Corfu just south of Angelokastro. The seat of the municipality was the town of Lakones (pop. 502). The largest villages are Liapádes (pop. 958), Doukádes (678), Skriperó (642), and Lákones.
Corfu is considered to be the mythical island of the Phaeacians. The bay of Paleokastritsa is considered to be the place where Odysseus disembarked and met Nausicaa for the first time.
Paleokastritsa has several schools, a lyceum (middle school), a gymnasium (secondary school), a few churches, a post office, and a square (plateia). The village has no school, its nearest are in Lakones and Liapades.
On a nearby hill there is a monastery, dating to 1225. There is a museum inside.
