1 Gouvia marina -
arrival day |
 |
|
Corfu
island |
 |
Your Corfu holiday starts at Gouvia Marina, which is the main Corfiot marine for visiting and charter boats, about
15 minutes by taxi from Corfu airport (the fare is about euros 25).
After taking over your boat, depending on the time of your arrival, you
can visit
Corfu
town (7 km. away), rest, go for a swim or set sails. In the evening you will
have your first dinner in one of the local taverns in Kontokali village,
which is located right outside of Gouvia marina. |

| Day
2 Gouvia marina - Mourtos (Sivota) (24 nm) |
|
Mourtos
is a small village on mainland Greece, hidden behind a group of tiny
islands, called Sivota. Mourtos has a beautiful boulevard and a
number of terraces along with to stroll, take a cold drink and admire
one of the most beautiful sunsets in the area. |
| |
|
| Day
3 Sivota - Lakka Bay (12 nm) |
|
|
Paxos Island |
|
From Sivota you will sail across to the
picturesque bay of Lakka, on the north coast of Paxos
island. Approaching the entrance to the bay
the waters are turquoise and a number of small white beaches surround you. Most of
the time during July/August the village is crowded and mooring on the small quay is
difficult, but the bay is protected and secluded and there is anchoring room for everyone.
Going ashore with the dinghy has its own charm. Coming back to the boat
later, after a good dinner and a few drinks is a different story. For sure
unforgettable. |
| |
|
| Day
4 Lakka Bay
- Port Gaios (7 nm) |
|
A
relaxing day, as the distance between the ports is only 6 miles. A
good idea is to sail around the island. The western coast has some
nice caves to explore. A visit to the famous sandy beach of
Anti-Paxos is also an excellent idea to complete the day. In the
evening the cosmopolitan town of Gaios offers it's hospitality and night
life. |
| |
|
| Day
5 Port Gaios - Parga (12 nm) |
|
|
Epirus (mainland Greece) |
|
Next destination is the beautiful town of Parga. It is a small,
picturesque town with many attractions. Parga has been built like
an amphitheatre around the bay and is flanked by small inlets and coves,
sandy beaches and islets off-shore with thickly wooded hills all around.
It is a perfect setting for a landscape artist. |
| |
|
| Day
6 Parga -
Petriti (16 nm) |
|
|
Corfu
island |
|
The
return to the shores of Corfu starts with the authentic fishing village of
Petriti.
You can watch the fishermen sailing out in the evening and returning the next morning with
that night's catch. Dinner at the local taverns is always accompanied with one
-maybe two- glasses of ouzo, the local aperitif. |
| |
|
Day
7 Petriti - Gouvia marina (18 nm) |
|
Regrettably, the last sailing day of your
Corfu holidays has come and
you will sail back to Gouvia marina. On the way there are many
bays to stop for that last lunch and swim in the Ionian Sea. |
On this weekly sailing
holiday
from Corfu you will be able to visit the
adjacent Ionian islands of Paxos and the
ports in mainland (Epirus) of Mourtos
(Sivota) and Parga.
