Beschreibung

Diese Tour durch Korfu beginnt am Ort Durrells im Zentrum von Korfu.

Am Rathausplatz mit dem Theater San Giacomo, einem barocken Renaissancebau aus dem frühen 18. Jh., halten Sie kurz an.

Dann geht es weiter zum Esplanade-Platz mit den wichtigsten Monumenten der Stadt Korfu.

Die Liston-Gebäude sind mit französischen Arkaden geschmückt. Der Ort erinnert an Rui De Rivoli in Paris.

Die alte byzantinische Festung von Korfu wurde im 6. Jh. n. Chr. erbaut und in den Jahren der venezianischen Herrschaft verstärkt. Die Zitadelle von Korfu stand zwischen den imposanten Felsen des Vorgebirges und viele Jahrhunderte lang schützte die Festung Korfu vor Angriffen.

Der Bosketo-Garten bietet Blick auf die Festung und dieser schöne Ort ist den berühmten Autoren Lawrence und Gerald Durrell gewidmet.

Der Palast von St. George und St. Michael wurde in den Jahren des britischen Protektorats erbaut. Es ist ein elegantes Gebäude im Regentschaftsstil mit einem ionischen Peristyl.

Die Kirche St. Spyridon ist die am meisten verehrte Kirche der Insel. Im Inneren der Kirche befindet sich eine kleine Krypta und die Reliquie des Hl. Spyridon ist in einem silbervergoldeten Ebenholzkästchen beigesetzt.

Das Campielo-Gebiet ist der älteste und authentischste Teil von Korfu. Sie passieren enge Gassen mit Häusern im italienischen Stil, schattige Plätze und malerische Kirchen.

In kurzer Entfernung befindet sich die neue Festung von Korfu. Es wurde im 16. Cent, ein beeindruckendes Beispiel italienischer Verteidigungsarchitektur. Die Gegend um die Festung ist sehr reizvoll mit der Tenedos-Kirche, den traditionellen alten Häusern und dem jüdischen Viertel.

Sobald Sie die Besichtigung von Korfu-Stadt beendet haben, erwartet Sie die Crew an Bord, während Sie an der Stadt Korfu-Stadt mit ihren bemerkenswerten pastellfarbenen, 400 Jahre alten venezianischen Häusern und der alten Festung vorbeifahren.

Die Crew stellt ihre Expertise rund um die Durell Family zur Verfügung und es werden sogar die Spots gezeigt, an denen sie von 2016-2019 Szenen für die erfolgreiche Serie der Durrell's von Produzent Christopher Hall gedreht haben.

Schon vom Meer aus sehen Sie den eleganten Mon Repos Palace, in dem 1921 Prinz Philip, der Ehemann von Queen Elizabeth, geboren wurde.

Schließlich erreichen Sie die idyllische „Mäuseinsel“ und die weiße, edel anmutende griechisch-orthodoxe Kirche „Vlacherna“ – beides Wahrzeichen der Insel Korfu.

Als nächstes segeln Sie zurück und ankern auf der wunderschönen Insel „Vidos“ mit ihrer unberührten Natur.

Danach entspannen Sie sich an Bord und hören sich mehrere Kurzgeschichten der Durrells an, während Sie entlang der malerischen Ostküste in Richtung Norden segeln. Sie werden die schöne venezianische Villa in „Kontokali“ sehen, wo der Hauptteil der berühmten Durrell-Serie gedreht wurde… und Sie werden die idyllische Kapelle „Saint Arsenius“, den Lieblingsbadebereich von Larry & Nancy Durrell, entdecken.

Last but not least… Ankunft in dem hübschen Dorf an der Küste „Kalami“, wo Sie im berühmten „Weißen Haus“, in dem Lawrence Durrell mit seiner Frau Nancy in den 1930er Jahren lebte, ausgezeichnet zu Mittag essen können.

Diese Reise, die Wander- und Segeltour kombiniert, ist etwas anderes und wird zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis!

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.

Boat trip from Corfu to Sivota with barbecue and Blue Lagoon

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.

And if that's not enough, there's also be fun and games for the kids so that you can put your feet up. On the way back to port, there are swimming stops. Theo likes to spring a surprise, so it could be near a cave, at a ‘blue lagoon' or even both. You might even be joined by a dolphin or two along the way. Also, Theo has a great ear for music – so expect tunes to match the mood. Theo's boat is a holiday within a holiday.

Sites & Bites: Corfu Old Town, Greek doughnuts and ouzo

Corfu's cuisine, bustling town square and old fortress are the highlights of this half-day guided walking tour. You'll start at the Old Fortress of Corfu, a Venetian fortress dating back to the early 15th century, with some eye-catching views over the town. Eleni, one of our expert local guides, says “this fortress gives you a peek into Corfu's rich history. Keep an eye out for its two peaks – Castel a Terra, or Castle near the Land, and Castel a Mare, which means Castle by the Sea in English. They really show off the military defence architecture from the Venetian era.”Next, you'll stroll through the old town's winding alleyways, known as kantounia, towards Greece's largest plaza – Spianada Square. As you wander between the pastel-coloured buildings, you'll make a few stops to sample local treats, like ouzo and kumquat liqueurs. Plus, you'll learn how olive oil is produced before a tasting session. Then, you'll get to sample another Greek treat – loukoumades. These golden, crispy doughnuts are soaked in warm honey and are often sprinkled with cinnamon and nuts – you'll see why this sweet snack is a favourite in the Mediterranean.After your tasting sessions, you'll have some free time to check out the old town at your own pace. There are plenty of cafes and tavernas if you want to recharge before heading back to your accommodation, or you can shop for souvenirs in some of the local stores – you'll find olive oil products, liqueurs, and handcrafted leather goods on offer.
