Corfu Cruise | 8 Days

DAY 1:                                CORFU

Embarkation begins at 05:00pm. With this in mind, we start our journey from Corfu’s Old Port, which is full of Greek tavernas, local product markets and plenty of antique shops. Apart from that, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed “Old Town” offers a unique scenic experience, given its architecture and general structure which is quite unique. (D)

DAY 2:                                CORFU – SIVOTA – MOURTOS

The Ionian Islands, the wettest in Greece, offer a striking contrast to the country’s typical rugged coastlines. Instead, you’ll find lush green hills, olive groves, crystal-clear waters, and sparkling white beaches. This stunning scenery is especially evident in the Sivota-Mourtos Islands, just south of Corfu. On day two, explore the highlights of this island cluster, including the famous Blue Lagoon and the Papanikolis Cave. Later, take time to wander through the traditional marina village and enjoy a meal or drink at one of the waterfronts tavernas overlooking the shore. (B, L)

DAY 3:                                MOURTOS – PARGA

Parga is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in Greece, and arguably the most stunning in the Ionian Sea. Framed by two crystal-clear bays on either side, the village is crowned by a historic Venetian castle and offers a lively mix of beach bars and water sports. Bring your hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, and get ready to make unforgettable summer memories in this picturesque Greek coastal gem. (B, L)

Note: Due to Parga’s undeveloped-port infrastructure, there is not plenty of available space on the marina, which means, that in case the gulet does not manage to dock at the port, you will need to use a water taxi, to reach the shore. The cost, for this, is not included in the overall price package!

DAY 4:                                PARGA – ANTIPAXOS

The small island of Antipaxos is a true hidden gem, offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience. After lunch on board, unwind in some of its most secluded bays, including the famous beaches of Voutoumi and Vrika, known for their turquoise waters and untouched beauty. Enjoy time to snorkel, feel the smooth pebbles beneath your feet, or explore the island’s charming clifftop scenery and nearby towns of Gaios, Loggos, or Lakka. In the evening, choose to dine at a pop-up beachfront taverna on a private stretch of coast, before relaxing on deck under a sky full of stars. (B, L)

Note: The late-night dinner is not included in the price.

DAY 5:                                ANTIPAXOS – PAXOS (GAIOS)

Until recently, Paxos was best known for its excellent olive oil, which is rumoured to be one of the world’s best varieties. Enjoy the lush green scenery of this tiny island by renting a bicycle or a bike and head to any of its secluded coves to spend an idyllic summer afternoon while sunbathing and swimming. After returning to the city, enjoy some traditional local Greek seafood or even Meze, at one of the many local taverns, which are run by the local fishermen. (B, L)

DAY 6:                                PAXOS (LAKKA)

Set sail for Lakka, on Paxos Island-a stunning area of secluded coves and sea caves that makes it a paradise for sea lovers and explorers alike. Discover its charming village, known for shallow, crystal-clear waters and excellent diving opportunities to explore the Ionian Sea’s underwater beauty. With its relaxed waterfront lined with bars and tavernas. Tonight, enjoy a Captain’s dinner on board. (B, L, D)

Note: The vessel is unable to dock at Lakka’s marina and will instead anchor in a nearby secluded cove.

DAY 7:                                PAXOS – CORFU
