Sivota - Mourtos Islands
The Ionian Islands are known for their lush greenery, in stark contrast to the typical dry, rocky shores found in other Greek locales.
The Ionian Sea captivates with abundant forests, verdant hills adorned with olive trees, crystal-clear waters, and pristine white sand beaches! This picturesque landscape can be explored among the Sivota – Mourtos Islands, nestled to the south of Corfu’s mainland.
On the second day of our journey, we find ourselves in this enchanting island cluster, where visiting its highlights, such as the azure lagoon and the renowned Papanikolis cave, is a must!
As the day progresses, take a leisurely stroll through the charming Marina village and before departing, make sure to savor delicious meals and refreshing drinks from the many delightful tavernas lining the marina above the shore!
Parga Island
Parga is often hailed as one of Greece's most enchanting villages and undoubtedly the gem of the Ionian Sea!
Featuring two stunningly clear bays, one flanking each side of the village,
along with its iconic Venetian fortress and a plethora of bars and water sports opportunities, Parga is an essential stop on your summer getaway!
Gather your hats and sunglasses, lather on the sunscreen, and get ready to make some unforgettable Greek summer memories in this charming and picturesque locale!
Note: Due to the limited port infrastructure in Parga, docking space at the marina is scarce, which means that if the gulet is unable to secure a spot at the port,
a water taxi will be necessary to get you to the shore. The expense for this service is not part of the overall package price!
Antipaxos - Vrika
The enchanting isle of Antipaxos is a true treasure, promising an unparalleled adventure for you!
During our stay, we indulge in a delightful lunch, followed by a leisurely escape to some of the island’s most hidden and serene beaches, featuring the renowned Greek shores of Voutoumi and Vrika!
You will have the opportunity to explore the crystal-clear waters and feel the smooth pebbles beneath your feet!
Stroll along the clifftops and discover one of the three picturesque villages – Gaios, Loggos or Lakka.
As night falls, we savor a meal at a charming pop-up tavern by the beach on a secluded stretch away from the main coast, and gaze at the twinkling stars from our gulet’s deck!
Note: The late-night feast is not included in the original package price.
Paxos - Gaios
Paxos has recently gained fame not only for its renowned olive oil, said to be among the finest in the world!
Experience the vibrant greenery of this charming isle by renting a bicycle or scooter and journeying to any of its hidden beaches, perfect for an idyllic summer day filled with sun and swim!
Upon your return, savor some authentic local Greek seafood or delectable Meze at one of the many quaint taverns run by local fishermen!
Lakka Island
This enchanting area of Paxos Island is filled with hidden coves and mystical sea caves.
A true paradise, for any ocean adventurer!
Lakka boasts a quaint yet lively village with gentle waters, recognized as a diving haven,
for those eager to unveil the secrets of the Ionian Sea, by diving into its underwater marvels!
With an array of bars and tavernas along the coast, Lakka embodies
the essence of Greek allure!
Note: The vessel is unable to dock at Lakka’s marina, hence we anchor at one of its many secluded private bays!
Corfu Old Town
We reach the picturesque Corfu’s Old Port in the afternoon, allowing ample time for exploration of both its new and Old Town!
Make your way to the ancient Venetian fortress to capture breathtaking views of the cityscape, or meander through the charming streets of the Old Town, taking in its hidden treasures, provided you have a few hours to spare!
While wandering the quaint Old Town, carve out some moments to pick up unique Greek souvenirs, or delve into its rich culture by visiting local museums and churches for a final round of sightseeing!
Our night will be spent at the vibrant Marina of Corfu’s Old Town, where we have the option to indulge in a traditional dinner with the group as we celebrate our farewell together!
Following dinner, we retreat to the gulet to revel in our last night onboard, and bright and early the next morning, we regretfully prepare to depart.
Farewell
As we have thoroughly enjoyed our journey around Corfu and its cluster of islands, today marks our farewell.
We exchange our goodbyes, capture a few final snapshots and begin our journey homeward!
We truly hope to cross paths again. Until then, we wish you all the happiness!
