Description

Explore the wonders of Corfu town and its famous sights in a unique way with a boat cruise. This carefully crafted route offers a condensed yet comprehensive tour of the island's most popular attractions, all while enjoying the pleasure of sailing on the open sea. The yacht provides a sense of privacy even in bustling tourist areas, making it perfect for a serene experience.

Starting from Gouvia Marina and heading south, you'll be enchanted by the picturesque hazel-green landscapes that define the region. Your first stop will be the breathtaking Vidos Island, a lush and untouched natural paradise just a short distance from Corfu's port. While cars are not allowed on the island, you'll encounter an abundance of wildlife, from hares and pheasants to tall evergreen pines and brambles. The inviting crystal-clear waters of small bays will tempt you to take a refreshing swim.

Continuing on, you'll arrive at the beautiful Corfu town, a UNESCO Cultural Heritage site and a favorite destination for tourists. The cruise will dock at Mandraki, the Medieval Venetian port of the Old Fortress, providing a truly novel-like entrance to the town as you pass through the majestic fortress. This captivating journey combines sightseeing with the joy of being on the water, making it an unforgettable experience.

Corfu town presents a captivating blend of architectural and cultural influences from Venetian, English, and French origins, harmoniously woven into the local culture. The charmingly labyrinthine cobbled alleyways, picturesque neighborhoods, elegant manor houses, and churches, as well as the grand Fortresses and the renowned Spianada square with its delightful cafés beneath the arches of Liston, together create a vibrant and lively atmosphere that thrives throughout the year.

We are well-equipped with experience and knowledge to guide you in choosing from a variety of routes, markets, cafés, restaurants, monuments, and sights, ensuring you explore both the prominent highlights and the lesser-known gems of Corfu town.

Our tour wouldn't be complete without indulging in the romantic paradise of Mon Repos and the iconic and most photographed sight of Corfu, Pontikonissi.

the coastal Mon Repos Estate, a magnificent 25.8-hectare botanical garden, you can immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters reflecting the lush forest. Alternatively, if you wish, we can take you by dinghy to the stone "ponte of the queen" to visit Mon Repos palace, which now houses the Palaiopolis Museum, or you can leisurely stroll around the garden with its astounding collection of 2,000 plant species and archaeological ruins. Mon Repos, located in the area of Palaiopolis, the ancient town of Corfu, once exclusively accommodated lords and kings, remaining inaccessible to ordinary people. However, in 1991, after extensive court litigations and the fervent demands of the Corfiots, Mon Repos was rightfully transferred to the Municipality of Corfu and is now open to everyone to explore and enjoy.

As we sail along the lush coastline, we will soon arrive at Pontikonissi, the iconic symbol of Corfu. This enchanting miniature island is like a poetic gem, concealed within its abundant vegetation is a small and charming Byzantine monastery. Just across from it, we'll find the elegant white monastery of Panayia Vlahernon, gracefully connected to the shore by a long and narrow pier, adding to the area's famous picturesque scene.

Our journey continues as we make our way back to our starting point, and here, something unexpected awaits – a taste of modernity. Surprisingly, this renowned spot in Greece has become a favorite place for airplane spotting, as it sits remarkably close to the flight path of Corfu's international airport. From Pontikonissi, guests can almost feel as if they can reach out and touch the aircraft as they gracefully land on the magical island of Corfu. It's a unique and captivating experience that adds a touch of contemporary allure to this otherwise serene and timeless destination.
