Why you’ll love this…

What to expect

Albania is just a short boat ride from Corfu. This often-overlooked country was closed to outsiders for decades and it's only now really beginning to flex its tourist muscles. On this full day excursion, you'll visit the ruins of ancient Butrint, go for lunch and enjoy free time in Saranda.

The tour kicks off with a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Butrint. Everyone from the Greeks to Romans to Ottomans left their mark on this ancient town. Walking through its ruins is like leafing through the pages of a living history book. Highlights include the amphitheatre and temple.

A woodland stroll up to the Venetian hill fort will give you great views over the national park and the surrounding wetlands. Afterwards, you'll head for a buffet lunch in the hamlet of Karanxh. Finally there's an hour of free time to explore Saranda before returning to Corfu.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Sabores de Corfú, cocina con los lugareños en una granja ecológica

Siente el alma de Corfú en la granja ecológica Bioporos, a orillas de la laguna de Korission. Profundiza en la agricultura corfiota con una experiencia que comienza con la presentación de los anfitriones, protagonistas del día: los propietarios de la granja. En primer lugar, te reunirá con su madre, que te enseñará a elaborar cosméticos ecológicos, como mascarillas faciales, crema de cera de abejas y mucho más. Utilizarás ingredientes que podrás encontrar en tu cocina o jardín de casa, y te llevarás las creaciones al final de la jornada. Después, prepararás un pastel corfiota tradicional, mezclarás los ingredientes de tu propio tzatziki y amasarás pan. El anfitrión encenderá el horno de leña para que puedas disfrutar de los aromas del pastel y del pan cocinados a fuego lento. Mientras se hornea la comida, el propietario te guiará por la granja y te enseñará con orgullo su colección de aperos de labranza, sus olivos y colmenas. Sus anécdotas ilustran la relación entre Corfú y el cultivo del olivo, y su pasión por la agricultura regenerativa brilla cuando demuestra cómo promueve la conservación de especies vegetales endémicas. También descubrirás la historia de esta laguna, protegida por la UE, y su impacto en la población local, así como otros detalles sobre la fauna circundante, la flora poco común y las numerosas especies de aves que se encuentran aquí. Tras recorrer la granja, te sentarás a comer lo que que acaba de salir del horno, acompañado de una ensalada fresca del huerto de la granja. De postre, disfrutarás de un café mientras contemplas el idílico paisaje.
