Set out from Corfu with guide Maria or another multilingual host for a full-day cruise to Paxos, Antipaxos, and two blue caves. You’ll swim for about an hour at Mesovrika or Voutoumi, explore Gaios for roughly two hours, and enjoy views of Corfu’s old town, rocky shores, and small Ionian islands.

“very nice trip, the staff is amazing - funny, friendly, always smiling and trying to help. Great moment with greek dance at the begining of the Cruise. The Paxos island where you spend 2hours it's magnifique! The stop for swiming at Antipaxos ... not so much. There are a lot of boats coming almost in the same time and it's like swiming in a basin:)) It would be great if they could manage the cruises so the boats wont meet there. After all, amazing experience!”
