Description
Give yourself a present - a magical journey through the islets of the Ionian Sea, coastal waters of Corfu, and a wonderful lagoon that washes a fairy town called Parga.
Day 1. Arrival to Corfu and check in on the yacht.
The yacht is moored in the port, which is in the central part of Corfu. You can easily get to the yacht from the airport in just 5 minutes. If you have a morning flight, you will get a wonderful opportunity to walk around the city until the evening, to have a look at the old fortress, and visit the main sights of the island: the church of St. Spiridon of Trimphund, as well as Achilleion.
At 16.00 - a welcome cocktail and welcome dinner.
Overnight on a yacht in the port of Corfu.
Day 2. Passage from Corfu to Kassiopi. On the way, we stop for a lunch on one of the beaches with turquoise water always attracting travellers. You probably will be interested to visit the old Venetian fortress of the city as well as the church of Panagia Kassiopitra, which was erected on the site of the ancient temple of Zeus.
Day 3. Passage from Kassiopi to Paleokastritsu. You will have a wonderful opportunity to swim near the coast of the uninhabited island Diabolo. They say that it was in Paleokastritsa where Nausicaia found Odyssey. Indeed, this is the only convenient bay on the western coast of the island of Corfu. It is very likely that Odysseus`s raft was washed to its quiet shores.
Day 4. You will leave Corfu and head towards Paxos.
This is surely a journey through the centuries, because we will see the islands, a description of which can be found in the mythology of the ancient Greeks. Paxos and Antipaksos are the smallest islands in the Ionian archipelago and at the same time surprisingly cute giving an opportunity to plunge into the world of harmony, peace, and silence ... The islands are surrounded by the magical colour waters of the Ionian Sea and are enveloped in ancient legends. Greek myths say that the island of Paxos is part of the island of Corfu, which split from it when Poseidon struck Corfu with his trident. Then, mighty Poseidon moved the islet a little farther to the southwest, thus arranging a love nest for secret dates with beautiful Amphitrite.
The capital - Paxos - is a famous "paradise for millionaires" called Gaios. You will get a real pleasure from walking around the town while local shops will offer you a quite a wide range of various goods.
After a long walk, you will have a wonderful rest on the yacht to continue an amazing journey in the morning.
Day 5. Antipaxos.
The yacht will take you to the island of Antipaxos, which is called the "younger brother" of Paxos. This miniature islet with a size of only 5 square kilometers dotted with vineyards and olive groves will surely leave a gentle trace in your hearts! Idyll of the purest beaches with golden sand, azure, incredibly transparent waters of the lagoons will emerge in memories again and again...
Overnight on a yacht on the island of Antipaxos.
Day 6. You will be introduced to the amazing town of Parga. It will fascinate you with its beauty already from aboard the yacht. This wonderful city was founded many centuries ago by refugees from Constantinople. In the 15th century the Venetians built a fortress near the port, which to this day rises above the area giving visitors a spectacular view of the lagoon and the fabulous beauty of Parga.
After enjoying a walk around the town, we will spend the night in a cozy bay of the Sivota island.
Day 7. Antipaxos - Corfu.
You will return to the island of Corfu, where you will take a walk around the capital of the island - Corfu. Wander through the cozy streets, admire the magnificent San Giacomo Theater, which was built in 1663, look at the Liston Street, which was built by the French and reminds the famous Rue de Rivoli in Paris.
After lunch - rest in the center of Kerkyra and horseback riding around the city (at your option).
