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 are first class, like the white cliffs of Erimitis
  • 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 in 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 one: Tour without Transfer

Option two: Tour with Transfer

Small group Corfu tour with Achillion Palace and Paleokastritsa

Corfu is jam-packed with palaces, monasteries and picturesque villages. On this small group tour, you'll head into the rolling hills and along its rugged coastline to discover the Achillion Palace and Paleokastritsa. You'll also get to taste the fruits of the countryside. Spiros, one of our local guides, says, ‘It's a tour that mixes scenery with spirituality and nostalgia. And the visits to the kumquat distillery and olive oil museum offer a real glimpse of rural traditions.'As you journey your way through Corfu, you'll visit some of its top attractions. There's Achillion Palace, built by Empress of Sisi of Austria a year after a family tragedy. It was in its classical-inspired gardens and interiors that she hoped to find comfort and solace. It also boasts panoramic vistas over Corfu town, the coastline and even mainland Greece. And the views are also top-notch at the seaside village of Paleokastritsa. You'll have free time to visit the Orthodox monastery – admission is free – or the coves. A boat trip can also be arranged here.Plus, you'll get to sample some of the rich flavours of rural Corfu. There's a visit to a family-owned kumquat distillery. Here, you'll learn everything there is to know about this citrus fruit and the sweet and fragrant liqueur made from it. There's also a visit to a local olive oil museum. ‘Seeing historic pressing equipment in state-of-the-art modern facilities really drives home the timelessness of olive oil production,' says Spiros.

Corfu day tour with Bella Vista, Old Perithia and fortress visit

A great day out in some of Corfu's most beautiful spots. Tragic Empress Sisi fell in love with the island – and you'll see why on this adults-only tour laden with fishing harbours, a deserted village, a fortress and amazing scenery. Eleni, one of our guides, says of her favourite stop, ‘I've lived here all my life – and yet the first time I visited Old Perithia, I thought that I was in heaven. That's how special it is.'You won't have long to wait to discover it, but first up is Bella Vista. Here, you can gaze at the Paleocastritsa coastline from above. ‘The views over heart-shaped bays will reveal why locals call it the Balcony of the Gods,' says Sofia, another of our expert local guides. Next, you'll head to the once-abandoned village of Old Perithia. Take a stroll among restored Venetian-era stone dwellings and groves teeming with wildflowers, almond, oak and walnut trees. ‘You'll not only get the historic background,' says Eleni. ‘But also the stories hidden in the walls of the abandoned houses.'En route to Kassiopi, we'll enjoy lunch with local wine in a family owned taverna. Kassiopi, with its busy little fishing harbour and pretty lace shops, is a delight. Rounding off the day is a visit to Corfu town's Venetian-built Old Fortress. It boasts a Greek revival church and great views over the old town. What's more, admission fees help maintain the fortress and purchases in the villages support the local economy.
