Itinerary - Corfu Sail Adventure

Roundtrip flights are not included in the package, giving you flexibility in choosing from where and when you want to fly. Let's meet for 2:30 in Gouvia, Corfu!

The plan for our first afternoon together is to get settled into our home for the next seven days: our sailing boat. We'll need to stock up on supplies, unpack in our cabins and get to know our Skipper Coordinator. And what a better way to break the ice and get to know each other than over some delicious Greek food. Baked feta to share for starters?

Are you ready to embark on your journey? Let's hoist the sails and set our sights on the horizon! This itinerary is like a road trip, but instead of the road, we'll be sailing the beautiful waters of the Ionian Sea, covering several nautical miles each day. We'll spend our days enjoying the views from the bow and stern of the ship as we navigate through the stunning scenery. Today we'll be sailing southwards for about 5 hours, heading towards the picturesque island of Paxos!

We have finally arrived at Paxos or Paxi, and we can't wait to put on our swimsuits and dive into the crystal clear sea of this stunning island! We will have an opportunity to explore the hidden coves and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. As the day comes to a close, we will anchor in Lakka for the night. But before that, let's get off to indulge in some delicious Greek cuisine. How about moussaka for everyone?

Get ready to explore Paxos Island, as we set sail towards the main port of Gaios. Here, we have the chance to rent mopeds or cars and discover some of the hidden beaches away from the crowds. We can spend the day relaxing in the sun and taking refreshing dips in the crystal clear waters, with a few cold beers to keep us company. For lunch, we can head to Paralia Loggos beach, where there are plenty of taverns serving delicious Greek salads and mouth-watering pita gyros. As the sun begins to set, we could sip a refreshing drink in the village and spend the evening soaking up the lively atmosphere.

This morning we take our time to enjoy Paxos before setting sail to nearby Antipaxos after lunch. Although not as popular as its sister island, Antipaxos is a little piece of paradise and definitely worth a stop. We have time for a few swims before making our mind up what to do next. Have we had an on-board drink yet? If not, tonight is the perfect time to enjoy a breathtaking sunset and raise a toast to the adventure we're experiencing together. And if the night is right, how about sleeping under the stars on the top deck?

Today, we'll be sailing back through the tranquil waters of Paxos, and our Skipper Coordinator will take us to explore some of the most stunning beaches in the area. Later in the day, we'll dock at Mongonissi, where we can enjoy some more swimming and chilling out before getting ready for our night at anchor.

It's time to bid farewell to Paxos as we set sail towards the coast of Greece, making our way to Syvota, a bustling tourist town with numerous resorts. However, we are not interested in the crowds and instead, we head straight to the island of Mourtemeno, located just opposite Syvota. The island boasts of Mediterranean flora, gorgeous sandy beaches, and stunning coves with crystal-clear waters. We can also opt to rent kayaks and explore the coast and cliffs up close – an excursion that we cannot miss out on. We have plenty of time to swim, dive, and soak in the beauty of the island before getting ready for a drink on board. Perhaps we can have a themed evening – perhaps everyone dressed in white? We are open to suggestions, so feel free to pitch in! We will spend the night at anchor, maybe even under the twinkling stars again.

Believe it or not, our sailing trip from Corfu to Paxos is almost over, and today we'll head north to return to Gouvia Port, where we started. But before that, we still have plenty of time to explore more beaches and coves. Among the must-see places in Corfu is Canal D'Amour in Sidari, a rocky area surrounded by lush vegetation that creates amazing bays and channels. According to the legend, couples who swim through the narrow canal will soon get married, but we'll need to see if it works for us! Another stop is the Blue Lagoon, where the water is even more turquoise than usual. Let's enjoy our last dips and the stunning scenery before we head back into port.

We have now arrived back in port and it's time to start getting organised for our departure tomorrow. Tonight we will enjoy our last evening together with a final few drinks or a traditional Greek dinner. This has been an incredible adventure, and we'll most certainly all cherish the memories we've built together!

It's time to say goodbye – check-out and see you on the next WeRoad adventure!
