Day 1 - Corfu
Arrive at any time. In the evening meet up with your fellow travellers and CEO for a welcome briefing before heading out for an optional dinner and night on the town. Island life!

Day 2 - Corfu
Start your day by exploring Corfu’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in history, charm, and Venetian elegance. Wander through narrow cobblestone streets lined with colorful neoclassical buildings, uncover hidden squares and lively cafes, and soak up the timeless beauty of this enchanting town. Whether you're browsing local boutiques, visiting historic landmarks, or simply enjoying the vibrant morning atmosphere, this cultural journey is the perfect start to your day. In the evening, lace up your hiking boots for the Agios Gordios Sunset Hike. This scenic trail offers stunning views of the island bathed in golden light as the sun sets over the sea. And for those craving an extra thrill, there’s a cliff jumping opportunity at sunset—an unforgettable experience for the adventurous!
