Itinerary

Early in the morning you meet at the meeting point or are collected by coach for transfer to the port of Corfu, where you board the boat for your day trip to nearby islands. As you set sail across the Ionian Sea, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Corfu Old Town and its fortress from the water before heading toward Paxos. Along the way the boat cruises past dramatic sea caves, including the Blue Caves, and scenic white cliffs, giving photo opportunities from the deck.

On arrival at Lakka Village on Paxos, you have free time to explore the quaint harbour, browse shops, sample local treats like Greek coffee or pastries, or simply walk along tranquil streets. Your next stop is usually Antipaxos, where you can swim and relax on beaches with striking clear turquoise water — a highlight for many visitors. After ample time on the islands, the boat departs to return you to Corfu in the late afternoon.

Who is this experience best for

This excursion is ideal for travellers who want a scenic full-day adventure at sea with opportunities to explore peaceful island villages, natural sea caves and beautiful beaches all in one trip. It suits couples, friends and small groups who enjoy boating, swimming, and relaxed exploration off the beaten path, as well as those staying on Corfu who want to see more of the Ionian islands in a single day.

Insider notes

This is a long day on the water — typically around 10 hours — so comfortable clothing, sun protection, a hat and plenty of sunscreen are recommended. Free time in Lakka Village allows for independent lunch or refreshments, so bringing some cash is useful. Weather and sea conditions can affect the order and duration of stops, including time spent near the Blue Caves and beaches. If you choose the coach transfer option, be sure to confirm pickup details in advance to ensure a smooth start to the day.
