Why you’ll love this…
  • Admire the scenery of the Old Town of Corfu from the sea
  • Enter the breathtaking cave of Sivota and swim in the exotic turquoise waters of Blue Lagoon
  • Visit Parga, the 'cosmopolitan princess' of Epirus and explore its Venetian castle and narrow streets
What to expect

Explore the areas of Parga and Sivota in a wonderful and relaxing way!

Depart from the Port of Corfu to get a unique view of the Old Town, its two overlooking Venetian fortresses, the Kanoni peninsula, and the palace of Mon Repos, where Prince Phillip was born. Heading south, parallel to the mainland, you pass the capital city of the Thesprotia region, Igoumenitsa, the small fishing village of Plataria, and the Sivota Islands, where the ship will enter the breathtaking cave of Sivota. You'll sail around the historical small islands of Sivota, where the great naval battle between the Corfiots and the Corinthians took place in the summer of 432 B.C. Many of the vessels sunk in the fighting are still there at the bottom of the sea.

Soon afterwards, you'll arrive at the picturesque Blue Lagoon bay and you will have the opportunity to swim in the lagoon’s exotic blue waters. Reach Parga, a large picturesque village with island architecture, a rich eventful history, rare physical beauty, and emerald water. Don't miss the chance to explore the city's Venetian castle, whose main building houses a photo exhibition of ancient Parga. As you might expect, the castle also offers some stunning views over Parga and the Ionian Sea. As the afternoon comes around, you will have the chance to stroll through the wonderful narrow streets, discover the many interesting curios shops, have a drink at one of the traditional seafront tavernas, or enjoy swimming to one of the three beaches of Parga.

That's how special it is.'You won't have long to wait to discover it, but first up is Bella Vista.

Next, you'll head to the once-abandoned village of Old Perithia. Take a stroll among restored Venetian-era stone dwellings and groves teeming with wildflowers, almond, oak and walnut trees. ‘You'll not only get the historic background,' says Eleni. ‘But also the stories hidden in the walls of the abandoned houses.'En route to Kassiopi, we'll enjoy lunch with local wine in a family owned taverna.
