What’s a Greek vacation without a cruise?
Sailing from the port of Corfu Town
You will see the old town of Corfu and its two Venetian fortresses. Sailing south, you will see the Kanoni Peninsula and the Palace of Mon Repos – the birthplace of Prince Phillip. The tourist resorts of Perama, Benitses, the village of Kavos and the southernmost point of Corfu – Cape Asprokavos. Approaching the channel between Corfu and the island of Paxos, you will see magnificent views of olive trees and cypresses covering the lush island of Paxos.
Sailing from the port of Lefkimmi, in the southern part of the island
You will see Cape Asprokavo and further on you will see the island of Paxo, which is about 13 km away from the island of Corfu.
Legend has it that the island of Paxos was formed by the sea god Poseidon when he cut off a piece of Corfu with a powerful blow of his trident and dragged it south to create an idyllic haven for his great love, the nymph AmphitriteY
Northern Paxos features the natural bay of Lakka and a traditional village unspoiled by mass tourism, perfect for those seeking peace and quiet.
We continue sailing south along the western coast of the island of Paxos, enjoying the spectacular rocky coastline. The ship enters breathtaking sea caves, whose clear blue waters will leave you speechless. The marine area of the Blue Caves is the natural habitat of the Mediterranean monk seal (monachus monachus).
Paxos, Antipaxos and the surrounding area are included in the ΝΑΤURΑ 2000 network of nature conservation areas. We arrive at the small but perfectly formed island of Antipaxos, whose sandy bays with blue water have been compared to the bays of the Caribbean Sea. Here you will have the opportunity to swim in the crystal clear waters of Mesavirka or Virka.
We return to the island of Paxos from the eastern side of the island, where we will see the small islands of Skaltsonisi and Mongonisi, the picturesque harbor of the village of Gaios, and two small islands – Panagia and Agios Nikolaos.
