Top Corfu Day Trips - page 6

There is NO question about it - if you want a great experience, plenty of room to move about the vessel, have a great team, a clean and very organized trip, then go with Ionian Cruises. If you want overloaded boats that actually list during turns, with no place to sit, looking like a Walmart on the day after Thanksgiving, and smoking everywhere...then by all means go with Corfu Cruises. The difference is so massive you almost pity the ones who went with Corfu Cruises. Ionian Cruises does it right, they have great staff, clean bathrooms, showers, and you move from one area of the vessel to another with no problem. Oh, and their craft is MUCH faster and smoother because it is a big cat with two monster engines. The other guys use V-hulls that are slower and each wave you watch them bounce. We were so happy we raved about it to the Concierge at the Domes Miramare so they could pass on our thoughts to other guests. You also REALLY visit the Blue Caves, entering into them with the entire vessel. We circumvented all of Paxos.

Armin our boat skipper was just fantastic. We stopped at the caves and swam twice. I was a bit nervous at first but he was reassuring after the caves and a brilliantly speedy boat ride he took us to a beach. As a solo traveller the guys at the beach got me a deckchair food and drink. I spent a blissful time there until it was time to go back. I did say to Armin that it was the best boat trip I’ve ever been on. As a solo woman traveller I was treated with so much respect

Fabulous day out, perfect mix of boat, beach, exploring and swim stops. The day went by in a flash! Extremely well organised, Spiros was a great host, lovely touches like having lots of photos taken (and emailed that evening), a glass of Prosecco at the end, a comfortable fast boat that minimised time spent travelling between destinations and small enough to get right inside caves bigger boats had to avoid. Too often on these trips you spend hours and hours on the water between destinations, not so on a speedboat. It was perfect, great value, a great experience and one we would highly recommend.

Informative tour of The Governor Mill and it's history and change to modern mechanical methods of EVOO extraction. Also an insightful guide to their two main products and the difference between them both for purpose and aromatic flavours. The tour includes a ride out to the original 'mother' olive tree and historic tour of the fort. There is also a shop to purchase the oils as well as other products from local providers. Friendly people.

It was a great way to see Corfu- the monastery, the beach, a quick boat ride and downtown. The monastery is a quick stop but worth it if you are there. When we got to the beach, you had choice of spending time on beach or boat ride. We did the boat ride. The water was so blue- great way to see the Corfu shoreline. We did go into a very small cave area and the water was spectacular. It you wanted to do beach, though crowded, there wasn’t much down room and vendors to buy beach items. (Rafts, towels, sunscreen). Very touristy area. Then we headed to downtown to shop and have some food. A cute little cat joined us for our break. A lot of the same stores in other towns. Along the way, our tour guide talked about the island and history and overall, fun guy. Though pricey for the day, a great way to see the whole island if you only have one day.

The vibe was great and the guide was amazing and insightful. She spoke in 3 different languages fluently and was very fun. The stop offs were great, the food was very nice and affordable. Then the trip back was like a party with the other boat alongside which was great. Beautiful stop offs and amazing scenery

This is the day cruise to go for if you want a truly Corfiot boating experience. Don't be put off by the fact that it's more expensive than other cruises e.g. to Paxos, it's worth every penny. Delicious food, plenty of wine and soft drinks (note, beer is an extra 3 euros a can), and outstanding crew. All the swimming stops were superlative.

This is a great way to see Corfu without renting a car. When you add in Leo’s knowledge of the island, it is the perfect tour. In our case, it was a rainy and windy day, so it really was the best tour. Leo took us to Vlacherna Monastery, Virgin Mary Monastery and Olive oil tasting and museum. I have driven in Italy and Africa, and I was very happy to have Leo do the driving on the high, curvy roads. The Olive oil museum was a lot more interesting than I expected and the oil was exceptional. Leo was very easy to contact as I switched pick up locations and he was very willing to make accommodations. We took his tour to Albania the next day and Leo made a special trip to pick us up before another tour that he had. Leo took us directly to the ship, made sure the tour guide for that trip knew who we were and told us how to get back to our airbnb via some cool shortcuts after the trip. The small group tour was well worth it for the sights and the history. However, Leo’s attention and kindness was way more than we expected. I cannot say enough about Leo and his agency. If he is in charge, your trip will be fantastic!
