Port day questions

Is 7 hours enough in Corfu?

7 nominal hours leave about 7h on the ground once disembark and the return margin come out. That is enough for a real day if you take it in the right order.

What can you see in 7 hours?

Spianada Square, Kanoni & Mouse Island, Liston and Old Fortress fit comfortably. That maths counts the round trip from the ship, not just the visit.

What time should I head back to the ship?

Turn back by 3:15 PM at the latest. That already includes an hour of margin before all aboard.

Prefer a guided excursion?
