Ionian Islands Sailing
New
Set sail from Corfu Harbour and return there over 8 days on a relaxed gulet cruise through the Ionian. You’ll explore Sivota’s Blue Lagoon and the storied Papanikolis Cave – perfect for a swim between green islets. Glide into picture perfect Parga to wander its harbour and climb to the Venetian castle. Drop anchor off Antipaxos for Voutoumi and Vrika – all glassy water and pale sand – then hop over to Paxos for olive covered hills, mellow villages and lazy coves ideal for snorkelling.
