This experience, in a nutshell

Unspoiled nature and a cobalt blue sea as a backdrop, deserted bays with crystal clear water and a

luxuriant Mediterranean scrub full of smells: gliding gently from port to port, we will sail to discover the colorful villages and taste the typical flavors of Greek taverns.

We will base ourselves in Corfu, moored in the wonderful port of Mandraki, close to the old fortress.

Easter in Corfu is the most intense in all of Greece: the Holy Week celebrations are a unique experience that unites believers and tourists in an atmosphere of religiosity and folklore. We will sail to the island of Paxos, a real jewel in the Ionian Sea, visiting the bays of Syvota and Plataria, the island of Antipaxos and Parga on the mainland. On the way back, we will stop in the city, a lively and UNESCO heritage site, to admire part of the celebrations of Easter week.

Breathtaking encounters with turtles and dolphins if you are lucky, many caves with amazing colors!

A holiday that you will remember for a lifetime and that many will want to try again!

Our itinerary

Leaving the picturesque port of Mandraki in Corfu, we will head south, skirting the east coast of Corfu, for a lunch stop in Petriti Bay, with its incredibly turquoise waters. From here we will head to the sleepy village of Plataria, on the mainland, for the first night.

The next day we will sail to the island of <Paxos, to moor in the crystal clear waters of Lakka Bay, on the northeast side, where we will stop for the night. The next day, weather permitting, we will circumnavigate the island of Paxos passing through the outer side, full of breathtaking coves and cliffs where wonderful caves are set, and then land in Gaios, the capital village of the island of Paxos.

The next day we'll discover the island of Antipaxos, which also boasts beautiful coves and waters, and then head to Parga, on the mainland, a village steeped in history, with its castle on the gulf. We will then go up the mainland coast, stopping in the small archipelago of Syvota and return the next day to Corfu to take part in the celebrations of Orthodox Easter, which finds its most characteristic expression on the island, with festivals, shows and processions. The itinerary must be intended as indicative and will be updated on site according to everyone's preferences and the actual weather conditions. The final choice on stages and itinerary is up to the Commander.

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

Fabulous holiday. The itinerary traced by our skipper allowed us to mix time and experiences both at sea and on land very well. The stages he selected gave us immemorial baths in uncrowded coves characterized by very clean waters. Andrea was very professional, competent, public, and always attentive to the safety of the entire crew. Furthermore, with his calmness and infinite patience he managed to create a pleasant and convivial atmosphere among all his guests. We spent evenings in the roadstead under starry really difficult to forget. The management of the kitchen has never created disagreements as well as the management of the common fund.

First experience on a sailing boat and it certainly won't be the last! Andrea is prepared, helpful and able to create a pleasant atmosphere on board. Nice itinerary and a group with whom it was easy to share laughter, baths and beautiful places. A week that I will carry in my heart. Highly recommended!

As a first boat holiday experience and overall it was positive; Andrea is a very good skipper and has a good character. The only flaw is the somewhat reduced space, I think the boat is suitable for a group of up to 6 people so that you can move around more easily, and I would have preferred a slightly more organized management of meals. We have seen wonderful posts and I hope to be able to repeat the experience.
