Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll sail across the Ionian Sea to the Greek islands of Paxos and Antipaxos
  • The coastal views along the way, like the white cliffs of Erimitis, are first class
  • You'll visit the Blue Caves of Paxos, entering Ipapanti and Ahai for a closer look
  • There's time to swim and snorkel in the exotic turquoise waters of Paradise Beach in Antipaxos
  • Back in Paxos you can stroll through the town and check out the shops and tavernas
What to expect

No Greek holiday is complete without a sea cruise to the islands, and this one takes to some of the country's best. As you cruise out of Corfu Harbour have your camera handy to capture the view of the old town and its two Venetian fortresses. You'll head south, passing the Kanoni Peninsula and the Palace of Mon Repos, the village of Kavos, and Corfu's southernmost point, the Cape of Asprokavos.

Then, as you sail away from Corfu, Paxos Island comes into view. Unspoiled by mass tourism, Paxos boasts the quintessential character of Greece, with green olive groves and fishing villages aplenty. You'll head along the west coast of Paxos Island, soaking up the impressive rocky coastline and white sandy beaches until you arrive at the Blue Caves. They're cut into limestone cliffs, making the water reflect a striking blue off the white, chalky rocks.

Beyond the caves, you'll reach the pocket-sized island of Antipaxos. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in style, as the powder-white beaches here are often compared to those of the Caribbean. You can take a swim here in the crystal waters of 'Paradise Beach' – and it really does live up to its name. Then, it's back to Paxos, where you can wander through its narrow streets, visit the souvenir shops and enjoy lunch at one of its traditional tavernas.

You have two options for this tour, option one is without a transfer and option two includes a transfer to and from the port:

Option 1: Tour without transfer

Option 2: Tour with transfer

    We paid the extra for the transfer from our hotel & were there at the pickup point 10 minutes before (6:45) and when the bus arrived, the driver refused to let us on the bus as we didn’t have a paper ticket. We booked it on the app so of course didn’t have one. We missed the trip. The third party company that TUI apparently use for this trip have sent us a ticket for tomorrow even though I made it clear we couldn’t go on that day as it’s our final day here. Don’t book anything on the app

    The experience is great if you want to spend time cruising on the sea. The staff are lovely and there were good services on board. I would have liked more information about the timings of the trip prior to booking. The full trip is 10 hours, more if you include the transfer time to Corfu port. 7 of those 10 are spent travelling on the boat, with 2 hours spent in Paxos and 1 hour swimming in Antipaxos. I probably wouldn't have booked the trip if I had known this. The toilets are also a bit grim.

    Paxos was beautiful but the sea was rough. We don’t mind rough seas but the boat did not feel safe. Someone vomited on my daughter and as the sea was rough we could not get out of our seats to clean her off. When the boat stopped briefly in a cave we tried to move but everyone was told to sit down. The chairs were not attached to the boat so were sliding dangerously into each other with no warning this was going to happen and no opportunity to move when safe to do so. Very disappointing.

    Loved the crystal blue sea and being able to swim. Did not enjoy the lack of communication regarding our pick up time/place.

    Overall great experience, however, as an mature person having to go on the upper deck to get drinks was bit daunting especially on the return journey due to the throng of young people for the dj time ( only too be young again ??)….

    The boat ride was extremely long the time and boring no entertainment, you were given time in paxos which was not really neccessery we managed to walk it in 10 mins then you have to look for things to kill time, the boat then goes to antipaxos and pulls into a cove which was picturesque however if your not a keen or strong swimmer then its a waste of time. The only thing that saved this trip was a visit to the caves on the way back to port otherwise a waste of time and money

Siti e bocconi: Città vecchia di Corfù, ciambelle greche e ouzo

La cucina di Corfù, l'animata piazza della città e la vecchia fortezza sono i punti salienti di questa visita guidata a piedi di mezza giornata. Inizierete dalla Fortezza Vecchia di Corfù, una fortezza veneziana risalente all'inizio del XV secolo, con una vista accattivante sulla città. Eleni, una delle nostre esperte guide locali, dice che "questa fortezza vi permette di dare un'occhiata alla ricca storia di Corfù. Tenete d'occhio le sue due cime - Castel a Terra, o Castello vicino alla terra, e Castel a Mare, che in inglese significa Castello sul mare. Essi mostrano l'architettura militare di difesa dell'epoca veneziana".Poi si passeggia per i vicoli tortuosi della città vecchia, noti come kantounia, verso la piazza più grande della Grecia, Piazza Spianada. Passeggiando tra gli edifici color pastello, farete alcune soste per assaggiare le specialità locali, come l'ouzo e i kumquatliqueur. Inoltre, imparerete come si produce l'olio d'oliva prima di una sessione di degustazione. Poi, potrete assaggiare un'altra delizia greca: i loukoumades. Queste ciambelle dorate e croccanti sono imbevute di miele caldo e spesso cosparse di cannella e noci: capirete perché questo snack dolce è uno dei preferiti nel Mediterraneo.Dopo le degustazioni, avrete del tempo libero per visitare il centro storico a vostro piacimento. Ci sono molti caffè e taverne se volete ricaricarvi prima di tornare al vostro alloggio, oppure potete fare acquisti di souvenir in alcuni negozi locali: troverete prodotti a base di olio d'oliva, liquori e articoli in pelle fatti a mano.
