Gulet Cruise: Corfu and Ionian Islands, Greece

Let's go! We begin our adventure in Corfu in the Naok marina, or Old Port, full of taverns and supermarkets, and a sign of the colonial legacy of Corfu. The historic center of Kerkyra, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is enchanting and perfect to explore right before starting our journey, with cobblestone streets, ancient stone walls and pastel-colored shutters. We will set sail in the afternoon: make yourself comfortable, as we sail to Kasiopi on the north coast of Corfu and we dine in the open sea.

The Ionian islands will surprise you with their lush forests, green hills full of olive groves, crystal clear waters and sparkling white beaches. Hidden among the islands of Sivota, we will discover the Blue Lagoon, which will offer us a wonderful view at lunchtime, and the village further on the west side will be perfect for walking alongside the tavern and enjoying a breathtaking sunset.

Today we sail towards Parga, described as the most beautiful village in the Ionian, distinguished by two spectacular bays on the main side of the city and the Venetian castle, forming an impressive background. With plenty of beach bars and water sports to practice in the large bay to the west of the city, it is the ideal place to relax in the afternoon, before taking a water taxi for the Greek party. Later, we will be delighted with an excellent lunch on board.

The small island of Antipaxos is an authentic hidden gem to be seen at least once in a lifetime. Lunch on board will be kindly offered by us to complete the day. Explore the white beaches and shallow waters during the day and settle under the stars at night. You will dine in a tavern on the secluded bay hidden from the crowd and you will be able to admire the sparkling night sky from the gulet deck.

Paxos, known for its excellent olive oil, will offer you an enchanting view of the lush countryside of this small island: jump on a motorcycle and head for a secluded bay after lunch on board. In the afternoon, you will spend your free time sunbathing and swimming, before returning to the city for the freshest fish, in one of the excellent local taverns supplied by the local fishing boats of the port.

Dotted with bays and sea caves, this part of the island of Paxos is every explorer's dream. After a delicious lunch offered on board, we head towards Lakka, in a small but lively village, where the shallow waters will be perfect for those wishing to discover the underwater wonders of the Ionian Sea. The multitude of bars and taverns that line the waterfront will give you all the charm of the Greek tradition, and later you can count the stars in a secluded and romantic bay.

We return to Naok Marina in mid-afternoon, but first we'll visit Benitses beach. After having lunch on board, we will walk guided in the historical center of Corfu from our marina, and we will head to the old Venetian fortress for a spectacular view from the top of the city. Or if you will still have some time, it will be great to go hunting for souvenirs, museums and churches, in the maze of cobblestone streets. Finally, overnight stay and dinner with the captains. 

Check-out is scheduled in the morning by 09:00.
