An Unforgettable Day Exploring the Ionian Gems: Blue Caves, Paxos & Antipaxos! Our full-day tour to the Blue Caves, Paxos, and Antipaxos was truly a highlight of our trip to Corfu! The boat departed promptly at 8:30 AM and returned at 6:30 PM, making for a fantastic and well-paced adventure. The journey itself was stunning, cruising along the beautiful Ionian Sea. The captain and crew were excellent – friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured everyone had a great time, often playing good music to set the mood! First, we were absolutely mesmerized by the Blue Caves. Gliding into these sea grottos, the way the sunlight filtered through the water, creating that ethereal, shimmering blue glow, was simply breathtaking. It's a natural wonder that truly lives up to the hype, and we kept our eyes peeled for any glimpse of monk seals! Next, we reached the paradise island of Antipaxos. We had a wonderful one hour dedicated to swimming in its incredibly clear, Caribbean-like waters. The beaches here, with their soft white sands and dazzling turquoise, were perfect for a refreshing dip and felt wonderfully tranquil. Finally, we spent a generous two hours in Gaios, the charming capital of Paxos. It was the perfect amount of time to explore this picturesque village. We enjoyed strolling through the narrow streets, admiring the traditional architecture, and soaking in the relaxed atmosphere. There were plenty of lovely waterfront cafes and tavernas where we could have enjoyed a leisurely lunch or a refreshing drink. Some reviews also mentioned the opportunity for souvenir shopping, which was a nice bonus. Overall, this tour offered an incredible blend of stunning natural beauty, relaxing swimming opportunities, and a taste of authentic island life. It's an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Corfu and looking to experience the magic of the Ionian Islands. Highly...
Read moreThe Ionian Cruises was a brilliant experience. You pay the travel agent 45 euros each person & told were you are likely to be picked up. You get picked up at a location at 07.00am via a coach & return late in the evening. A full day excursion. Well worth the money spent! Food & drink on board which you pay separately for. Friendly service & a tour guide explain in all languages about the island itself & its history. Where you can take photos along the way. Brilliant experience seeing all the rock formations that the sea has done to the rocks in the blue caves. Most definitely worth a visit. You certainly won't be disappointed! You can go swimming in the blue clear waters as well! But be careful when swimming as their were a lot of jellyfish around! 🪼 Highly recommended the Lonian Cruises for Paxos Island & Lakka Village. Beautiful place with lots of boats on the island. Quaint little shops still open to the public where you can buy anything from clothes & jewellery or gifts for either yourself or someone else. cafeteria & restaurants where you can sit & relax & have something to eat & drink. Some main shops were closed for their seasons and reopened again in the New Year! It's most definitely worth a visit! If you love cats 🐈 their are plenty here as well! Some friendly ones & some not. Beautiful place to visit, highly...
Read moreThe place is incredible but accessible only by private boat or company tour. There are caves all around the vest side of paxos and you can go inside with the boat into some of them. You can also snorkel around the caves to see the underwater tunnels. It’s fantastic. There isn’t much in terms of corals but there are some fishes occasionally. The landscape is spectacular with huge rock formations and blue turquoise waters. A little piece of paradise. Overall a great experience, you’ll need a...
