If we hire a car in Corfu for the afternoon what should we see?

We have about 6 hours in Corfu. Thinking of hiring a car but don't know what we should see. It's our last day on shore after a hectic schedule so we'll be pretty tired. Anyone got any recommendations please?

Our private guide drove us up into the hills to see olive tree groves, then a shore drive. Then a monastery, a beach, small town with a famous tavern and Olive tree museum, ( forget the name), then the Achilian Palace.

I would read the cruise line excursions and mirror what they go to see.

Thanks Sammiedawg - I never thought of doing that!!

On the other hand, why wander all over the island when it's the town that's the World Heritage Site?

It was the last stop on our cruise as well. We rented a car drove up to the hills, saw the Monastery and spent the rest of the day that the beach. It was a wonderful relaxing day after 10 days of non stop ruins/museums etc. We even rented a paddleboat for an hour and just enjoyed the water and the sights.
