Ce qui vous attend

Le nord de Corfou est composé de villages idylliques, de monuments et d'un littoral accidenté. Dirigez-vous vers les collines ondulées et ensoleillées pour découvrir le palais d'Achillion, la côte pittoresque de Paleokastritsa et bien d'autres délices. Vous visiterez également une distillerie de kumquat pour déguster cette liqueur caractéristique de Corfou. Spiros, l'un de nos guides locaux, explique : "La liqueur de kumquat est un phénomène propre à Corfou - elle n'est fabriquée nulle part ailleurs en Grèce. Elle fait partie de notre identité corfiote. Apprendre comment ce fruit asiatique est arrivé sur l'île est une véritable révélation".

Vous visiterez des sites touristiques parmi les plus importants de Corfou. Le premier est le palais d'Achillion. Le palais offre une vue imprenable sur la côte de Corfou et les jardins méticuleusement aménagés sont une véritable œuvre d'art. Spiros ajoute : "L'impératrice Sissi d'Autriche était amoureuse de Corfou et de son héritage mythologique, en particulier de l'histoire d'Achille, et le palais et les jardins sont remplis de sculptures de dieux et de déesses grecs". Le village balnéaire de Paleokastritsa offre également une vue exceptionnelle. Vous aurez du temps libre pour visiter le monastère orthodoxe, dont l'entrée est gratuite, ou les nombreuses criques aux plages magnifiques. Une excursion en bateau peut aussi être organisée.

Vous pourrez aussi goûter à la saveur caractéristique du Corfou rural et visiter une distillerie familiale de "kumquat". Vous y apprendrez tout ce qu'il y a à savoir sur cet agrume exotique. La marmelade, les boissons gazeuses et le sirop, ne sont que quelques exemples de produits fabriqués à partir du kumquat. Mais c'est la liqueur douce et parfumée, souvent vendue dans des bouteilles en forme de Corfou, qui est devenue une icône de l'île.

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. Afterwards, it's time to hop back on board for the return cruise to Corfu.

Theo's Boat Trip in Corfu and Mainland Greece with Beach BBQ

The azure waters and secluded coves of eastern Corfu are ideal for a day at sea. On Theo's boat, you'll cruise past dramatic coastline to picturesque places where you can sit back and relax with a tasty barbecue on the beach – exclusively for our guests. Captain Theo says, ‘I've been sailing for over 45 years. My passion for the sea started from an early age and remains as strong today as ever. But I enjoy even more welcoming guests on board, telling them stories about Corfu and sharing a meal with them.'Once you step aboard Theo's boat, you'll be in full-on holiday mode as we sail past coves, bays, soaring cliffs and beaches. Jump into the sea for a swim, relax on deck and enjoy a day out with all the family. Larger-than-life Theo and his crew are a barrel of laughs and as much of an attraction as the coastal scenery. We'll sail towards sandy Kalamas beach on the west coast of the mainland.Come lunchtime, the crew will rustle up a barbecue made from locally sourced ingredients on the beach – washed down with free-flowing wine and soft drinks. 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.
