Fantastic trip, a long day but well worth the fee. The staff on the boat were friendly and very attentive. We had lunch at one of the restaurants in Parga, not cheap but very nice meal. They are obviously making the most of the tourists from the excursions. It was a very hot day so we did not walk too far. There was a beach so a quick dip in the sea is possible. We had slightly less time in Paxos which is lovely and we plan to return to spend a little longer exploring. This is a great opportunity to get an experience of the two areas.

A long day

Angelo_A, May 2023

The transfer to and from the boat by Pachi Travel was excellent. The boat was overcrowded. We already had a large group of passengers when we left Corfu and then stopped in Lefkemi where at least that many were added. The boat was clearly overcrowded, with passengers searching for seats. The time spent in transit was proportionally greater than time spent on shore. The combination of engine noise, loud music, and people trying to speak over it made for an uncomfortable and long journey.

It nice a nice trip out…….

Simon_F, Jul 2022

Nice trip. Staff friendly. Villages visited very beautiful and about the right amount of time spent in each place. Boat very busy however and they do cram you in. One of the better corfu tours. It’s not outstanding but nice….

Good Day Out & Good Value Day-Long Boat Trip

Ben_O, Jul 2022

As with anything like this, it's normal to worry about the pick-up but we were messaged through Viator two days before the boat trip with a pick-up time from the hotel in Benitses. Coach was there 10 minutes early and we made our way to Lefkimmi Port. Two other coaches joined behind us and we waited around 15 minutes for the Georgia boat to reach us after having left Corfu Town Port 90 minutes earlier. The sole negative of this trip was evident immediately - it was already packed, and there were at least another 150 people off the coaches to get onto the boat. Cue mass elbow shoving and a fight for any remaining seats. It's evident from reviews that the boats are packed to the max for any of the day-long Corfu boat trips so at least we knew what to expect. The journey to Parga was marred by extortionate drinks from the tuck-shop style bar and people refusing to budge on the benches where there was clearly enough room for another person or two. Still, we got to Parga - and we were invigorated. Parga is, at least from what we saw, a little bit of paradise. A crystal-clear sea, worthy of a short swim. Surrounded by idyllic tiny islands, one of which had a church on and could only be accessed by swimming there. We're already researching Parga as our next holiday destination as a 1.45hr stay wasn't long enough. And so we learned immediately that to get the best seats on the boat, we had to get on earlier - 15 minutes before most others. For the one-hour journey from Parga to Paxos we had front row seats on the top deck with low deck chairs - and my-oh-my what a difference a good seat makes. Paxos on the other hand was a little underwhelming compared to Parga and we only needed less than hour to take it all in as we had eaten at Parga, despite being given another 1.45hrs. And yet again, realising there was nothing more to see, we sneakily crept back to the boat to join the queue that began forming half hour before departure. As most people in front of us wanted a table with their seats, we were fortunate yet again to get the low deck chairs on the top deck. One of the staff members warned us that if we stayed there, we would get splashed by the sea due to the winds. But what's a boat trip without being splashed by the sea? On arrival back at Lefkimmi Port, the coaches were already waiting with hotel names listed on the front, so you knew which one to get onto and the return transfer was as smooth as anything. Unlike other boat trips from Corfu, this is not a party boat - which was great news, as we were treated to traditional Greek music softly simmering from the speakers. TIPS: Wear swimwear if you're going swimming. Don't buy anything from the bar, it's a rip-off, bring your own drink or food. If you want a good seat return to the boat early. Don't sit inside the boat, it's full of grumpy people. Overall, it's worth doing and one of the only boat tours that goes to Parga, just expect a busy, busy boat.

Great day out in the south

Patricia_J, Jun 2022

What a fun day out. Opportunities for swimming in both places. Staff were very friendly. All very comfortable - some areas of the boat were even air conditioned.

Great day

Nicola_A, Aug 2020

Great service, plenty of time in ports, comfy boat😂 great experience . Good for families and for couples. Good way of exploring.

Nice trip but made a long day by disorganised buses back to hotel

staceyclamp86, Sept 2019

Trip booked easily through viator and whilst our hotel wasn't listed as a pick up point it was a short 2 min walk to the closest point. The bus to the port wad 15 minutes late but wasn't bad as we were the last pick up. The boat was nice and comfy with plenty of shaded or air conditioned areas. Staff lovely and helpful and well stocked bar and snack area. Small trip offered in paxos to go on a small bus around the island, glad we did it as wasn't much else there to do if you didn't. Buses were all different coming back, we got 10 min away from our hotel and then ended up being another 40 minutes after that, just seemed no logic.

Fantastic trip, a long day but well...

This trip was wonderful. Picked up...

Rose_A, Oct 2017

This trip was wonderful. Picked up at the hotel and taken to a lovely boat for a trip to Parga a lovely seaside town with some nice shops and cafes. Then on to Paxos a lovely Island where we were given the option of a minibus tour round the island or to go for a swim and / or shopping. A lovely relaxing way to see the area then back to Corfu and taken to the hotel. Superb.

Hübsch

Frank_B, Oct 2024

Sehr gute Tour sogar mit deutschsprachiger Reiseleitung.parga ist mega schön und paxos auch in der Nebensaison empfehlenswert

Zwei schöne Orte aber...

Klaus_W, Aug 2024

Bei der Boottour ist zu beachten, dass man in den beiden Orten jeweils nur 2 Stunden Aufenthalt hat. Wenn man etwas essen und den Ort besichtigen will ist das zu wenig Zeit. Den Rest der Zeit verbringt man auf dem Schiff. Paxos ist leider völlig überlaufen.

Ci è piaciuto solo Parga,...

Alba_S, Aug 2023

Ci è piaciuto solo Parga, il resto del viaggio troppo lungo con poco tempo di permanenza. Non lo rifarei se si ha pochi giorni di permanenza

Trop de monde sur le bateau

cecile_c, May 2023

Bon timing. Trop peu de place à l’intérieur du bateau. Il faisait froid et nous avons dû aller sur le dessus du bateau à l’aller . Conséquence. Malades toutes les deux le lendemain.

bien mais un peu trop de bateau

Gilles_D, Aug 2020

C'est un circuit intéressant, dommage que le bateau n'aille pas plus vite car les traversées sont un peu longues.

Purtroppo 0

Lorenzo_C, Aug 2020

6:30 ore di viaggio 4 ore di visita, 2 ore per meta, entrambe le mete niente di che, equipaggio e intrattenimento uguale a zero, informazioni di servizio che spaccano le orecchie, e niente, Da non rifare sicuramente la cosa più soddisfacente purtroppo è stata scegliere di fare questa recensione, Saluti.

Parga ist wirklich eine Reise wert!!!

RonnyL, Jul 2020

Wir waren im Ganzen sehr begeistert was die Tour angeht. Das Personal auf dem Schiff war sehr freundlich und zuvor kommend, Parga war wirklich sehr beeindruckend. Das Panorama war einfach atemberaubend. Alles in allem können wir diese Tour wirklich sehr empfehlen! Danke
