  • Admire the scenery of the Old Town of Corfu from the sea
  • Enter the breathtaking cave of Sivota and swim in the exotic turquoise waters of Blue Lagoon
  • Visit Parga, the 'cosmopolitan princess' of Epirus and explore its Venetian castle and narrow streets
What to expect

Explore the areas of Parga and Sivota in a wonderful and relaxing way!

Depart from the Port of Corfu to get a unique view of the Old Town, its two overlooking Venetian fortresses, the Kanoni peninsula, and the palace of Mon Repos, where Prince Phillip was born. Heading south, parallel to the mainland, you pass the capital city of the Thesprotia region, Igoumenitsa, the small fishing village of Plataria, and the Sivota Islands, where the ship will enter the breathtaking cave of Sivota. You'll sail around the historical small islands of Sivota, where the great naval battle between the Corfiots and the Corinthians took place in the summer of 432 B.C. Many of the vessels sunk in the fighting are still there at the bottom of the sea.

Soon afterwards, you'll arrive at the picturesque Blue Lagoon bay and you will have the opportunity to swim in the lagoon’s exotic blue waters. Reach Parga, a large picturesque village with island architecture, a rich eventful history, rare physical beauty, and emerald water. Don't miss the chance to explore the city's Venetian castle, whose main building houses a photo exhibition of ancient Parga. As you might expect, the castle also offers some stunning views over Parga and the Ionian Sea. As the afternoon comes around, you will have the chance to stroll through the wonderful narrow streets, discover the many interesting curios shops, have a drink at one of the traditional seafront tavernas, or enjoy swimming to one of the three beaches of Parga.

There's also a visit to a kumquat distillery to sample this trademark Corfu liqueur.

The palace boasts stirring views of the Corfu coast, and the meticulously landscaped gardens are a work of art. Spiros adds, ‘Empress Sissi of Austria was enamoured with Corfu and its mythological heritage, particularly the story of Achilles, and the palace and gardens are filled with sculptures of Greek gods and goddesses.' The vistas 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 many coves with beautiful beaches. A boat trip can also be arranged here.Plus, you'll get to sample the trademark flavour of rural Corfu. There's a visit to a family-owned kumquat distillery. Here, you'll learn everything there is to know about this exotic citrus fruit. Marmalade, soda drinks and syrup are just some of the products made from kumquat. But it's the sweet and fragrant liqueur – often sold in Corfu-shaped bottles – that's become an island icon.

What's more, a traditional lunch and drinks round off the experience. Spiros, one of our local guides, says, ‘This cruise for me is Corfu in a nutshell – in the lap of luxury and in the lap of the gods.

This cruise is all about soaking up the sun and enjoying the scenery. Steep cliffs, secluded beaches and little fishing villages surrounded by juniper green vegetation – it's quite a view.
