What To Expect
Corfu Old Town
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.
Kontokali
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.

5.00A 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

5.00This 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.

5.00Beautiful, clean, not crowded, and unique boat/swim/eat experience! The owners take great pride in assuring a wonderful time. We went to three different swim locations. They have noodles and snorkel masks on board. Coffee and fresh bread greets you. A snack is offered (ours was fresh bruschetta) and an amazing grilled lunch of meats, pita, salads etc. Unlimited bev and white Greek wine. A sweet ending of fresh cut fruit was perfect. Be sure to check times and location as it was a 25 min walk from port. Shout out to the owners and crew of Korfu as this was our favorite excursion ever! This will definitely be a repeat for us when we return to Corfu.
Perfect Corfu Cruise

A luxurious day on the water

5.00We chose this beautiful boat trip after a lot of thought and online research. We were staying in the northeast of the island, but the starting point of Corfu town suited us and was easily found. The boat is a wooden schooner type with lots of shade and well spaced seating. There was some space for lying out and an onboard toilet. The crew were fantastic and generously encouraging us to use the inclusive buffet of coffee, white wine, soft drinks, ice and nibbles. Heading out we had a bruschetta type snack towards our first swim stop. All of the stops were secluded, with only a few other beach/boat goers. My partner has a slight fear of swimming in open water, so the life jacket was very helpful. Others used pool noodles provided. You can jump from the boat or use the steps. The captain gets the boat close enough to shore to allow easy beach access. Lots of fish to see so bring a mask/snorkel. Lunch was a real coal barbecue that hung out over the sea, from the railings. Kebabs, pitta, greek sausages, tzatsiki and greek salad. They were very careful to enquire about dietary requirements. On the journey back there was a generous platter of melon and soft fruits. The crew were caring and confidence inspiring. The passengers were a range of adults of all ages and nationalities and we made some new acquaintances. The small group size, the boat and the food all made for a very memorable trip with just the touch of luxury we were looking for. All at an affordable price. Highly recommended tour of the tranquil waters of Corfu's north east splendour and amazing views of the mountains of Albania. A lovely day on the water. Highly recommend
