Your Itinerary In Detail —
Day 1: Corfu - Kassiopi
Arrive in Corfu. Kick off your Corfu adventure at NAOK marina or Old Port (subject to availability) where 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 charm and perfect for exploring before your trip, with winding cobbled streets, ancient stone walls and pastel windows shutters. Get comfortable as you cruise towards Kassiopi and have dinner in the open sea. Due to late arrivals you might not depart Corfu port on Monday but the day after.
Day 2: Sivota Mourtos
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 where you will have lunch with beautiful sights, with the west-facing main village offering an idyllic tavern-lined promenade and a stunning sunset.
Day 3: Parga
Parga has been described as the most beautiful village of the Ionian Islands, with two crystal clear bays either side of the main town and a venetian castle forming an impressive backdrop. With plenty of beach bars and water sports to enjoy in the large bay west of town this is the ideal spot to laze away the afternoon, before grabbing a water taxi (if necessary) to town for a Greek feast and some traditional hospitality with lunch onboard!
Day 4: Antipaxos
A true hidden gem, the tiny island of Antipaxos will be a once in a lifetime experience, with lunch onboard topping up the day. Explore Voutoumi and Vrika Beaches and snorkel in the unbelievable clear waters. Dine at a 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.
DAY 5: GAIOS - PAXOS
Until recently Paxos was 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.
DAY 6: LAKKA - PAXOS
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 diving 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! Spend the night at a nice bay in Lakka. The vessel can not dock in the marina in this area. Captains evening dinner (included)
DAY 7: CORFU
Arrive back to Marina mid -afternoon, but first you will visit Benitses beach while having lunch onboard, guided walk of Corfu old town from the 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. Overnight at Corfu.
