This was a wonderful day trip. The boat has a terrific staff that will inform you about various key sites including the castles and the monastery that you see on the way from Corfu town to Paxos and Antipaxos. The boat stops in the town of Gaios for a few hours where you can eat lunch, or just walk around and explore. After that, the boat takes you to Antipaxos where I swam in the most light blue crystal clear water I’ve ever seen. On the way back a DJ plays music where my friends and I started dancing. The whole day trip was a blast and gives visitors to Corfu a great opportunity to check out the great islands of Paxos and Antipaxos nearby. A must do experience.
Excellent trip lovely and relaxing. We especially loved visiting the blue caves. Paxos was super pretty and we very much enjoyed swimming in Antipaxos.
We had such a great time on our boat tour to Paxos, Antipaxos, and the Blue Caves, and Pantelis really helped make it even better! As the DJ, he kept the atmosphere fun and relaxed with music that fit the whole vibe of the day perfectly. He was friendly, full of energy, and clearly wanted everyone to have the best possible experience. A special thank you as well to Maria, who was incredibly kind and welcoming throughout the day. We’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fantastic day out! Thanks youu Pantelis, for making our day so memorable - Carlotta, Sabrina, Kiara and Fiona!
Spiros and Elias with the best cocktails ever. Everything was perfect, the drinks, the personal.
Spiros and Elias with the best cocktails ever, so much fun with Maria being host! Great fun, and good vibes!! Definitely recommend :)
What an amazing trip from Corfu to Paxos! Everything was well organized, but the highlight was definitely the bar. Spiros and Elias are absolute legends behind the bar - they make the best cocktails not only in Corfu but probably in all the Ionian Sea! Every drink was perfectly made, served with a smile, and their positive energy made the cruise even more enjoyable. If you’re on this boat, don’t miss the chance to try their cocktails. Thank you, Spiros and Elias, for making an unforgettable day even better!

For my "Corfu 2.0," finally with the whole family, I managed to keep my promise, but I was the one who got the surprise in finding the wonderful guide, Maria, with her overwhelming smile, her preparation in the detailed explanation of all the monuments of Corfu and its historical attractions, of the caves in a good 4 languages and more, Italian included! What else to say about the crew of the "Christina," from the captain, the bartender Spyros and co. with excellent cocktails and souvlaki to delight the afternoon dancing sirtaki with professional dancers, top DJ! I already miss them, seeing them again is priceless... then the paradise of sky-blue waters... I'll leave it to you to see the photos
Gentile Ospite, Grazie di cuore per questa splendida recensione! Siamo davvero felici che abbia vissuto un'esperienza così speciale con noi. Le sue bellissime parole dedicate a Maria, all'equipaggio della Christina, al capitano, a Spiros e a tutto il team significano davvero tanto. È meraviglioso sapere che abbia apprezzato non solo i luoghi straordinari visitati, ma anche l'atmosfera, la musica, i ballerini e l'intrattenimento a bordo. Speriamo di rivederla presto per creare insieme nuovi ricordi indimenticabili. Cordiali saluti, Il Team Ionian Cruises
