Corfu and Ionian islands

Arrival Day. We kick off our Corfu adventure Old Port were there are loads of tavernas and supermarkets. This is the first of many signs you will spot of Corfu’s colonial heritage. The UNESCO listed old town of Kerkyra is an absolute charmer and perfect for exploring before your trip , with winding cobbled streets, ancient stone walls and pastel  windows shutters .

The Ionian islands are the wettest of the Greek Islands , so forget the typically rugged, rocky shores of Greece. The Ionian will surprise you with lush forests, verdant green hills packed with olive groves, crystal clear waters and sparkling white beaches . Hidden amongst the Sivota islands the Blue Lagoon is a highlight which we will have lunch with beautiful sight , with the west facing main village offering an idyllic tavern-lined promenade and a stunning sunset. In Sivota you can attend a cooking class excurion.

A true hidden gem , the tiny island of Antipaxos will be a once in a lifetime experience, we will offer you lunch onboard topping up the day . Explore Voutoumi and Vrika Beaches and snorkel in the unbelievable clear waters. Dine at pop up beach tavern in a secluded bay tucked away from the crowds and admire the sparkling night sky from the deck of your yacht.

Until recently Paxos was the best known for its excellent olive oil , rumoured to be one of the top varieties in the world! Take in the lush green countryside of this tiny island by grabbing a motorcycle and heading to a secluded cove after having lunch onboard for an afternoon of sunbathing and swimming , before heading back to town for the freshest seafood at one of the excellent local tavernas stocked by the local fishing boats in the harbour .

Studded with secluded bays and sea caves, this part of Paxos island is an explorer’s dream. Offering our delicious lunch onboard heading towards Lakka home to a small but vibrant village , with the shallow waters known as a siving hot spot for those keen to discover the underwater marvels of the Ionian Sea. With a host of bars and tavernas lining the seafront Lakka is the epitome of old school Greek charm! We will spend the night at a nice bay in Lakka. The vessel can not dock in the marina in this area.

We arrive back to Marina mid -afternoon ,but first we will visit Benitses beach while having lunch onboard, guided walk of Corfu old town from our marina , head to the old venetian fortress for a bird’s eye view of the city, or if you have a few more hours to kill , go hunting for souvenirs, museums and churches in the maze of narrow cobbled streets. You can decide to partecipate to Greek night evening! Overnight at Corfu.

Say goodbye to your new friends and take a last look of the breathtaking view of Corfu. All the good stories have always an ending… Maybe next year.
