Itinerary
Saturday
GOUVIA, CORFU – Day 1
We kick off our Corfu adventure at Gouvia Marina, fully equipped with a swimming pool, loads of tavernas and supermarkets, and a croquet court! This is the first of many signs you’ll 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 window shutters.
KASSIOPI
Situated on the affluent north coast, the popular horseshoe bay of Kassiopi is relaxed by day – just the thing for a snorkel in the shallow shingle bay, a quiet meander amongst the orange roofed villas or simply sit back and admire the hilltop Venetian castle in the heat of the day. The village comes alive at night, with the twinkling lights of tavernas calling the crowds to enjoy the buzzing nightlife.
Sunday
SIVOTA MOURTOS – Day 2
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, with the west facing main village offering an idyllic tavern-lined promenade and a stunning sunset.
Monday
PARGA – Day 3
Parga has been described as the most beautiful village in the Ionian, 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 to town for a Greek feast and some traditional hospitality.
Tuesday
ANTIPAXOS – Day 4
A true hidden gem, the tiny island of Antipaxos will be a once in a lifetime experience. Explore the white beaches and shallow waters by day and settle under the stars at night. 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.
Wednesday
GAIOS, PAXOS – Day 5
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 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.
Thursday
LAKKA, PAXOS – Day 6
Studded with secluded bays and sea caves, this part of Paxos Island is an explorer’s dream. Lakka is 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!
Friday
GOUVIA, CORFU – Day 7
We arrive back to Gouvia Marina mid-afternoon, so you can make your way back to 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.
