What to expect

A delightful foray to the west coast of mainland Greece from Corfu. Skippered by local legend Captain Theo, you'll cruise over to Sivota, enjoying a barbecue on board along the way. Theo, who's been sailing these waters for four decades, says, ‘I love the sound of guests whooping with joy – the sound of summer – when they jump into the Blue Lagoon for a swim. We then explore Papanikolis sea cave, which is also popular.'

You'll board the boat ready for a picture-perfect journey across the Ionian Sea towards the mainland. And between taking in the scenery of pine-clad islets, you'll cruise into Papanikolis sea cave, where you'll see the sea glittering on the roof. The next stop will be for swimming in the Blue Lagoon. Its fluorescent-turquoise waters look radiant – and inviting – when contrasted against the tree-topped white headland that shelters the lagoon. Captain Theo will anchor here for 90 minutes, during which time you can swim or snorkel and feast on an on-board barbecue with free-flowing wine.

After all that fun, Theo will rev up his engine to glide over to a scenic little bay for one more swimming stop where you can make the most of the sparkling Ionian Sea. Afterwards, it's time to hop back on board for the return cruise to Corfu.

    On your description it makes it sound that we were getting off and visiting Sivota!! We only passed it. , we only quickly passed the blue lagoon. Food was stale and cold and only allowed one free drink with meal not free flowing as you describe. Weather conditions very bad on return which it appeared the captain knew about? Nearly £100 for 2 swim stops and a rubbish lunch.

    Very professionally run. Felt very safe and cruise catered for all ages. Very clean boat. Excellent toilet facilities. Enjoyed the swim stops and the good music. Disappointed with the food. The chicken was a very poor quality supermarket type escalope and the ‘endless’ wine was just one glass. Port skewer was very tough. All in all though it was a wonderful day out which we would repeat without hesitation.

    The whole experience was amazing and would highly recommend. The only downside was finding the hotel transfers at the end of the experience as the drivers did not know which people should be on which bus. Potential suggestion: have list at end of trip with name and bus number/pickup area. The only improvement. Additional comment: Staff were able to cater for vegetarian, however unsure if they are able to do gluten free, but was a last minute request on our end as this was not option at booking.

    The whole trip was excellent, the staff were all amazing, the lunch was good, the information was clear and precise. The two swim stops in particular were fabulous. The Blue Lagoon was brilliant, we all loved snorkelling and being able to see all the fish . All safety information was made very clear. I would highly recommend this trip. The captain was very knowledgeable and really funny.

You'll use ingredients which you can find in your kitchen or garden back home, and take your creations with you at the end of the day.Next, prepare a traditional Corfiot pie, mix up your own tzatziki and knead bread.

His tales illuminate the relationship between Corfu and olive farming, and his passion for regenerative agriculture shines through when he demonstrates how he promotes the conservation of endemic plant species. You'll also discover the history of this EU-protected lagoon and its impact on the local people, as well as details of the surrounding wildlife, rare flora and numerous bird species found here.After your trip around the farm, you'll savor lunch fresh from the oven, paired with a fresh salad from the farm's garden. For dessert, relax with a cup of coffee while you gaze over the idyllic scenery.
