Corfu - Day Trips and Excursions
 

While for many the ideal holiday is lying in the sun around the pool at Rebecca’s Village others like to see more of the island during their stay.
 

Here is a list of excursions that can be booked either with the Reception Team at Rebecca’s Village or in Sidari.

Alternatively, if you hire a car, you can visit these destinations yourselves in your own time.
