Explore the Northern Ionian Islands – Corfu, Sivota, Antipaxoi, Plataria, Paxoi, and other lesser known islands – off Greece’s west coast. Gulet cruises provide a unique and relaxing way to explore the towns, villages, bays and inlets, relaxing on board and being well looked after by the experienced crew.
We will stop for a swim on most days, and spend the evenings exploring the small towns and villages where we stop for the night. Breakfasts and lunches are included, and you are free to explore the local restaurants and tavernas of the destinations.
This Corfu gulet cruise starts on Saturdays, at 17:00. 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!
The Ionian Islands are the wettest of the Greek islands, so forget about the typical rugged, dry and rocky coasts of Greece. These Ionian islands have lush forests, green hills covered with olive groves, crystal clear waters and sparkling white beaches! You can find this descriptive scenery, hidden among the Sivota – Mourtos Islands, which are located south of Corfu’s mainland.
We visit the blue lagoon and the famous Papanikolis cave!
Later into the day, don’t miss out on strolling through the traditional Marina village and before you leave, be sure to grab something to eat and drink from the numerous idyllic tavern-lined tavernas, which are located along the marina.
Parga has been described as one of the most beautiful villages in Greece and undoubtingly, as the most beautiful in the Ionian Sea! With its two crystal clear bays, one on each side of the village, with its famous Venetian castle, numerous bars and water sports facilities, Parga is a must-see for your summer holidays!
Grab your hats and sunglasses, put on plenty of sunscreen and prepare to create some forever-lasting Greek summer memories, at this beautiful, picturesque destination!
Note: Due to Parga’s undeveloped-port infrastructure, there is not a lot of space in 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!
The small island of Antipaxos is a true hidden gem and will be, a one-of-a-kind experience.
After lunch at Antipaxos we stop for some coastal relaxation at some of the island’s most secluded and tranquil bays, which are home to the famous Greek beaches of Voutoumi and Vrika.
You will have the chance, to snorkel in the turquoise waters and feel the pebbles under your feet. Take a walk on the clifftop and visit one of the three main towns – Gaios, Loggos or Lakka.
Later in the night, we dine at a pop-up beachfront tavern on a private beach off the public-main coast and admire the sparkling night sky from our gulet’s deck!
Note: The late-night dinner, is not included in the trip cost.
Until recently Paxos was best known for its excellent olive oil, which is rumored to be one of the world’s best varieties!
Enjoy the lush green scenery of this tiny island by renting a bike and head to any of its secluded coves to spend an idyllic summer afternoon sunbathing and swimming!
After returning to the town, enjoy some traditional local Greek seafood or even Meze, at one of the many local taverns which are run by the local fishermen!
This part of Paxos Island is packed with secluded coves and sea caves - A true dream, for any sea explorer!
Lakka is home to a small but vibrant village with shallow waters, known as a diving hotspot.
With multiple bars and tavernas Lakka is the epitome of Greek charm!
Note: The vessel cannot dock at Lakka’s marina, so we moor at one of its numerous secluded private coves!
We arrive at Corfu’s Old Port, in the afternoon so you will have plenty of time to roam around its new and Old Town! Head to the old Venetian fortress to see the city from up high, or walk through the Old Town admiring its gems.
While in the Old Town, make some time to grab some Greek local souvenirs or visit its museums and churches for a last sightseeing!
We spend the night at the Marina of Corfu’s Old Town, where we enjoy an optional traditional dinner with the group, for our final farewell party!
