The Ionian Islands are the wettest of the Greek islands, so forget about the typical rugged, rocky coasts of Greece.
The Ionian Sea will amaze you with its 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.

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 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!
The small island of Antipaxos is a true hidden gem and will be, a one-of-a-kind experience, for you!
While here, we fuel up with lunch, before stopping 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!
