Yes! Book a private, door-to-door airport transfer with a local English-speaking driver. Enjoy fixed and transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the option to pay in advance without the hassle of exchanging cash at a foreign airport.
You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
Acharavi is a flat, compact town, making the main road and seafront fairly easy to explore on foot, which suits strollers reasonably well. The beach is a mix of sand and pebbles, so water shoes help, and pebbly sections can be tricky for wheelchairs and strollers. A car is useful for reaching the beautiful beaches, mountain villages and viewpoints around the north of the island.
Greece is a very safe destination, and Acharavi is a quiet, friendly, family-oriented resort where crime is rare. You can relax, dine and stroll comfortably, even in the evening. As anywhere, keep an eye on valuables at the busy beach in summer. The shallow, calm waters are reassuring for families, though the north coast can get a little windy in the afternoons.
Tipping is appreciated in Greece but not strictly required. At tavernas, rounding up the bill or leaving around 5 to 10 percent for good service is common and welcomed. For a quick coffee or drink, small change is fine. Tips are usually left in cash on the table, even when paying the bill by card, so keep some coins handy.
Relax on Acharavi's long beach, with shallow, calm water that is great for families, and enjoy the seafront tavernas and sunsets over the sea, with Albania visible across the water. See the Roman baths and Folklore Museum, and use the town as a base to explore. Drive up Mount Pantokrator, visit the abandoned village of Old Perithia, or head to nearby Sidari and Kassiopi.
Greece uses the euro (EUR). In Acharavi, tavernas, larger shops and hotels generally accept cards, but smaller family-run spots, beach bars and market stalls may prefer cash. There are a few ATMs and supermarkets along the main road. It is handy to carry some euros for small purchases and tipping as you enjoy the beach and the village.
The official language is Greek. In Acharavi and across Corfu, which is popular with international visitors, English is widely spoken in tavernas, shops and hotels, so getting by is easy. Learning a few Greek words is a friendly gesture that the welcoming locals genuinely appreciate.
Corfu has a distinctive cuisine shaped by Venetian influences. Try pastitsada, meat slow-cooked in a spiced tomato and red wine sauce with pasta, sofrito, tender veal in a garlic and wine sauce, and bourdeto, a spicy fish stew. Sample Greek classics, fresh seafood and local olive oil, and look for the island's famous kumquat liqueur to finish your meal.
Late spring to early autumn, roughly May to September, is the best time to visit Acharavi, with warm, sunny days ideal for the beach and swimming. July and August are the warmest and busiest months. May, June and September offer pleasant weather, warm seas and fewer crowds. Corfu is lush and green thanks to its rains, which mostly fall outside the summer season.
