One-day cruises to the Ionian Islands and mainland Greece and Albania

We invite you to join our one-day cruises from Corfu. We will collect you in the morning from your accommodation and transfer you to the port in Corfu Town. At the end of the day we will be waiting to take you back. Please contact us for departure times and prices.

Our destinations are the traditional Greek fishing villages of the Ionian islands and the mainland of Greece. Unspoilt paradise beaches with crystal clear waters, impressive rocky coastlines and blue caves. Also, for the more adventurous, a cruise to the fascinating and enigmatic country of Albania is on offer. Choose from the following cruises;

Parga - Paxos Cruise

Departing from the harbour of Corfu, we have a unique view of the old town, situated between the two Venetian fortresses. Heading towards the south of Corfu we see the Kanoni peninsula and the palace of Mon Repos where Prince Phillip was born. We also see the tourist resorts of Perama and Benitses as well as the most southern part of Corfu - Kavos and Asprokavos. As we approach the channel between Corfu and Paxos we see in front of us the green island of Paxos covered with olive and cypress trees. Legend has it that Paxos was formed when Poseidon severed the tip of Corfu with one mighty blow of his trident and dragged it south to create an idyllic retreat for his love, the nymph Amphitrite. Its up-market reputation continues today as millionaire's yachts sit at anchor alongside local fishing boats. Entering the narrow channel which leads to the picturesque port of Gaios we have a breathtaking view of the two islands of Panagia and Agios Nikolaos. From the harbour, close to the centre of Gaios, you can easily walk through the wonderful narrow streets and enjoy your lunch at one of the traditional tavernas. Then we head towards the Greek mainland and the picturesque town of Parga. Here the romantic side streets form an amphitheatre under the imposing remains of a Venetian castle. As we return to Corfu we travel close to the mainland enjoying another wonderful view of the impressive rocky coast and the sandy beaches. During your trip you can enjoy the sun and help yourself to refreshments which may be purchased from the bar. (You will need to bring a camera or video camera, swimming suit, towel, sun oil, sunglasses, hat and comfortable shoes or sandals.)

Paxos - Antipaxos - Blue Caves Cruise

Departing from the harbour of Corfu, we have a unique view of the old town, between the two Venetian fortresses. Heading towards the south of Corfu we see the Kanoni peninsula and the palace of Mon Repos where Prince Phillip was born. We also see the tourist resorts of Perama and Benitses, the village of Kavos and Cape Asprokavos which is the southern point of Corfu. As we approach the channel between Corfu and Paxos we see in front of us the green island of Paxos covered with olives and cypress trees. Legend has it that Paxos was formed when Poseidon severed the tip of Corfu with one mighty blow of his trident and dragged it south to create an idyllic retreat for his love, Amphitrite. The legend goes on to say that Poseidon's marble palace was situated in one of the blue sea caves on the island of Ipapanti. During our passage, on the left hand side, we see the beautiful port of Lakka. We continue sailing south along the west coast of Paxos, enjoying the impressive rocky coast line and the unique white sandy beaches. Then the boat enters the breathtaking sea caves where the clear blue waters will leave you speechless. We depart from the caves and soon we arrive at the small island of Antipaxos, whose sandy blue water coves have been compared to the Caribbean. Here you will have the opportunity to swim in the crystal waters of "Paradise Beach". Our excursion returns once again to Paxos. Its up-market reputation continues today as millionaire's yachts sit at anchor alongside local fishing boats. After entering the narrow channel which leads us to the picturesque port of Gaios, we have a breathtaking view of the two islands of Panagia and Agios Nikolaos. We moor close to the centre of Gaios from where you can easily walk through the wonderful narrow streets and enjoy your lunch at one of the traditional tavernas. During your trip you can enjoy the sun and help yourself to refreshments, which may purchased from the bar. (You will need to bring a waterproof camera, video camera, swimming suit, mask, towel, sun oil, sunglasses, hat and comfortable shoes or sandals.)

Albanian Adventure Cruise

After our departure from the port of Corfu we travel along the Albanian shores and approach the port city of Agia Saranda. Once your passports are checked the local tourist guide will introduce you to this ancient city. An additional guided tour is available for those who wish - a 20 km tour by coach of the south coast with its virgin shores and scattered islands. Moving on from the mainland we pass small picturesque villages and endless fertile plains leading to a great lake. The highlight of your day will be the excursion to Butrint - designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage site in 1997. Over the centuries, the ancient town had disappeared under layers of silt and vegetation - but archaeologists have uncovered one of the best remains of a working town in the Mediterranean. At the edge of the lake, where the ancient city of Vouthrota is situated with its well maintained archaeological monuments and ancient theatre, the visitor is taken 2,500 years back in time to the 3rd century A.D. The ancient gymnasium, the Roman ablutions, the ancient temple with a priceless mosaic floor and the enormous stone walls will take you back to a time not known to man. At the top of the hill lies the castle of Ali Pasha, a relic of the Ottoman Empire. From this position we have a panoramic view of the Ancient City, the lake and the vast plains, a breathtaking sight. Upon our return to the city of Agia Saranda lunch is served. The afternoon allows for a tour of the town, until our departure from this land lost in time. (You will need to bring a passport or identity card, camera or video camera, sunglasses, hat and comfortable shoes. Carry a small bottle of water for the tour to archeological monuments. Duty Free is available.)

Plataria - Sivota - Blue Lagoon Cruise

Departing from Corfu harbour, we have a unique view of the old town, the royal palace, and the two Venetian fortresses. Heading towards the south of Corfu we see the Kanoni peninsula and the palace of Mon Repos where Prince Phillip was born. Then we sail south-east and pass Igoumenitsa, the main city of Thesprotia and the third largest port in Greece. Soon we will arrive at the traditional marina village of Plataria which attracts dozens of yachts during the summer season. There you will have plenty of time to stroll around the village, to visit the souvenir shops, or to have a drink in one of the traditional cafeterias under the shadow of plane trees. We will leave this beautiful place and soon arrive at the picturesque bay of "Piscine" where the famous film "Blue Lagoon" was filmed. Historians say that here, in the Middle Ages, Arabian pirate ships used to moor close to the bay. We will stay there at anchor for an hour and you will have the opportunity to swim in the exotic blue waters or to try your luck at champagne diving. We leave this exotic place behind us and in a while the ship will enter the breathtaking cave of Sivota. There, during the Second World War a Greek submarine hid underneath the lighthouse. The next destination is the traditional village port of Sivota where you will have plenty of time to stroll around the village, to explore the souvenir shops and to enjoy your lunch in one of the traditional tavernas. (Lunch is included.) On the way back we will sail around the historical small islands of Sivota, where in the summer of 432 B.C. a great naval battle between the fleets of the Corcyrians and the Corinthians took place during the second Peloponnesian War. Many of the remains of the sunken vessels are still at the bottom of the sea. During your trip you can enjoy the sun and have refreshments, which may be purchased from the on-board bar. Ouzo for the adults and a soft drink for the kids are included in the price. (You will need to bring a waterproof camera, video camera, swimming suit, mask, towel, sun oil, sunglasses, hat and comfortable shoes or sandals.)
