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.

    It was a wonderful day, and the crew were fabulous. Two gorgeous swim stops, and it was just great. Captain Theo’s jokes remind me of my dad.

    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.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Sapori di Corfù, cucinare con la gente del posto in una fattoria biologica

Scopri l'anima di Corfù nella fattoria biologica Bioporos sulle rive della laguna di Korission. Il tuo viaggio nell'agricoltura corfiota inizia con la presentazione dei veri protagonisti del tour: i proprietari della fattoria.Per prima cosa, la proprietaria ti insegnerà a preparare cosmetici biologici, come maschere per il viso, creme alla cera d'api e altro ancora. Utilizzerai ingredienti reperibili nella cucina o nel giardino di casa tua e porterai con te le tue creazioni a fine giornata.Poi preparerai una torta tradizionale corfiota, una salsa tzatziki e il pane. Il proprietario accenderà il forno a legna e si sprigioneranno gli aromi della torta a cottura lenta e del pane che avari contribuito a preparare.Mentre il pranzo cuoce, il proprietario ti guiderà nella fattoria, mostrandoti con orgoglio la sua collezione di attrezzi agricoli, gli ulivi e le arnie. I suoi racconti illustrano il rapporto tra Corfù e l'olivicoltura, mentre la sua passione per l'agricoltura rigenerativa traspare dal modo in cui promuove la conservazione delle specie vegetali endemiche. Scoprirai poi la storia di questa laguna protetta dall'UE e il suo impatto sulla popolazione locale, nonché i dettagli sulla fauna circostante, le piante rare e le numerose specie di uccelli presenti qui.Dopo il giro della fattoria, assaggerai il pranzo appena sfornato, abbinato a un'insalata fresca dell'orto della fattoria. Per dessert, rilassati con una tazza di caffè ammirando il paesaggio idilliaco.
