Steeped in history and brimming with charm, the Old Town of Corfu is a captivating destination that transports visitors back in time. Nestled on the eastern coast of the verdant island of Corfu, this UNESCO World Heritage site boasts a unique blend of architectural styles, reflecting its rich past and the various cultures that have left their mark on its enchanting streets.
Nestled amidst the lush, sun-drenched hills of Corfu's northeastern coast lies a charming villa that has captured the hearts of television viewers across the globe. Known as the Durrells' House, this delightful abode serves as the primary filming location for the beloved British television series, "The Durrells in Corfu." Based on Gerald Durrell's autobiographical books, the show follows the adventures of the Durrell family as they embark on a new life on the enchanting Greek island in the 1930s. The villa chosen for the series, known locally as "The White House," is a beautiful, two-story building that perfectly encapsulates the spirit and charm of Corfu during that era. Painted in a crisp white hue with contrasting blue shutters and terracotta roof tiles, the house exudes a quintessential Mediterranean ambiance. Surrounded by a lush garden filled with fragrant flowers, olive trees, and vibrant bougainvillea, the property offers a serene oasis that harkens back to a simpler time.
We make our first 30 minutes stop under the famous kerasia tower.
We stop for an 2 hours under the famous Erimitis forest.
Located in the northwest region of the island, this historic lighthouse has been guiding seafarers through the Ionian Sea since its construction in the late 19th century. The Peristeres Lighthouse is an architectural marvel, showcasing the traditional lighthouse design of the era, with its cylindrical white-washed tower rising gracefully above the rocky cliffs. At a height of 25 meters, the lighthouse's beacon illuminates the surrounding waters, serving as a guiding light for ships and an alluring sight for visitors. History buffs will appreciate the role the Peristeres Lighthouse played in the maritime navigation of the Ionian Sea throughout the years. Erected during the period of British rule, the lighthouse has been meticulously maintained and remains fully operational to this day. As you explore the lighthouse grounds, you can imagine the lives of the lighthouse keepers who once called this remote location their home, tending to the beacon that guided countless ships to safety.
Swimming and snorkeling at the beautiful Agios Stefanos Beach or a nearby beach not accesible by car, a hidden gem on Corfu's northern coastline. Crystal-clear waters and a pristine shoreline create the perfect setting for aquatic explorations. Dive into the captivating underwater world, where vibrant marine life and intriguing rock formations await your discovery. After working up an appetite, savor a delicious lunch served beachside, as you bask in the tranquil atmosphere of Agios Stefanos.

Thanks for the memories Well organized.
Delicious food, great bays!
We had a lovely day, they provided everything you wanted and was a great day from start to finish we have an allergy and the chef went out his way to accommodate this. I would recomend this experience to anyone that is thinking of a nice relaxed day with good food and nice staff.
Great crew, delicious food, and excellent swimming spots. The 6-hour trip was the perfect length for this type of cruise.
We had an amazing full-day cruise around Corfu! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and the stops at the crystal-clear swimming spots were perfect. There was plenty of time to relax, swim and enjoy the beautiful coastline. The crew were friendly and made sure everyone had a fantastic experience. Food was served throughout the day, with delicious freshly prepared snacks and drinks to keep everyone satisfied. The highlight was the traditional Greek BBQ, which was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. The whole trip was well organised, relaxing and great value for money. If you’re visiting Corfu, I highly recommend this cruise.
A truly amazing experience. The boat was handsome, spacious and easy to move on. The staff and the captain gave us an incredibly warm and social welcome, which made you feel at home straight away. Also, the food was super tasty and served quickly, and the bath stop was absolutely great. 10/10
The staff were lovely, the food was great
A wonderful boat trip on a traditional wooden fishing boat. The day was made by special by the kindness and helpfulness of the crew. The day was planned out really well with swimming stops in secluded bays with the clearest water. I appreciated the fact that there was a selection of drinks included and the lunch meal of grilled souvlaki, sausage, salad and tzatziki was great. There was plenty of room on the boat for everyone abd no overcrowding. Definately a boat trip that has very high standards and a cut above the rest. Thankyou fir a very memorable day
Great day. Plenty of time for swimming in crystal clear waters and snorkelling opportunities. Friendly helpful crew. Tasty BBQ with lots of food.
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.
