About this tour
The excursion departs from the Mayor’s Steps in Garitsa Bay, Corfu Town, where our boat picks up guests.
For the next hour, we sail on our traditional wooden boat towards Pontikonisi (Mouse Island), taking in the beauty of the area on a romantic cruise.
Admire Corfu Town’s two Venetian fortresses, the city walls known as Mouragia, the Old Town district of Kampiello, Anemomylos, Corfu’s famous windmill, Mon Repos Palace, and the Kanoni Peninsula.
As the sun begins to set, we reach Mouse Island, and the boat anchors between the island and the famous Vlachernas cloister, just in time to admire the sunset.
This small island is a symbol of Corfu and offers a stunning view as the colors of nature are better than ever.
You will have the chance to relax and capture some beautiful photos, or even take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of the bay.
Shortly a delicious meze plate is served on boat while we toast the ending of the day with a glass of wine.

It's a simple boat ride along the coast, with nothing much else on offer. The boat is rather small and uncomfortable, not very suitable for offering a dinner. The famous barbecue was a small plate with a soulvlaki, a sausage and a bit of salad, all brought on board practically already cooked, and accompanied by a small glass of soft drink. There are no tables, and you have to eat everything without being able to put it down. It wasn't very good either, many people threw away their almost full plates. However, the sunset was very pretty and the atmosphere and the light were beautiful. I think they should only offer that and forget about what they call barbecue, which is a clear deception. Of course, they couldn't charge that much, and that's where I felt cheated.

Unfortunately, the idea of a leisurely boat trip at sunset was wrong. You drive along the coast of Corfu at a snail's pace, which is not because you are comfortable but because you are just wasting time. After a 30-minute drive, you stop in front of Mouse Island and wait there for an hour until the sun has set. The food was delicious, but only one portion is given to each person, which is not enough to fill you up. Also, "drinks during the meal" means a 200 ml drink, which is a bit stingy for the price. You don't go on Mouse Island, nor do you drive around it or anything like that. You just float 200 meters off it for an hour. During this time, there were 2 other boats with better music and from which you could go swimming right next to us. Better atmosphere and, as I found out, cheaper too. I don't recommend this tour, there are cheaper and better alternatives.
