Corfu - what to do after tour

[scoochy12]

We have a private tour in Corfu. We will still have 3 hours after the tour. What are some suggestions for after the tour? I have seen that there is the usual at the cruise terminal of duty free shops etc. Looking forward to your responses. TIA

As you gave no clue as to what your "private tour" will  involve only you know.

 

If it is a scenic island tour, you could ask to be dropped off not at the ship, but in Corfu town itself which you could explore  with your remaining time. Or go for a swim on a nearby beach.  There should be tourist information and ideas  found online.

Yes, get dropped-off in town, one of the best on cruise itineraries for shopping.

Or at the Old Fortress, about a 10 - 15 minute walk from the town centre.

Get the driver to show you the bus stop for buses back to the port, a bus every few minutes and about a 10-minute ride

You didn't say which part of Corfu your private tour will cover. There's a few beaches relatively close to the cruise port with good bus connections back to the port. So if you like beaches, you can just chill and enjoy the sea breezes. 

Alternatively, if your private tour hasn't taken you inside the Old Fortress and the New Fortress in Old Town, they are sites which you can easily find your way back to the cruise port afterwards by bus. Further out, you can get your guide to drop you off to Mon Repos Park or the Achilleion Palace.

Anyone know the approximate price of the bus back to port?

€1.70 paid last year. Not sure whether it's gone up. KTEL is the bus company.
