About this tour
Explore the Ionian Sea on a day trip by boat from Corfu to Paxos, Antipaxos and the Blue Caves. The 9-hour excursion includes a swim stop by Antipaxos and time to stroll around Paxos. Pickup is available; departures for south Corfu hotels leave from Lefkimi port.
Boat trip and swimming stops
On the way from Corfu, pass Garitsa Bay, Mon Repos Palace and Mouse Island (Pontikonisi), then sail towards the channel between Corfu and Paxos. At Antipaxos, the boat stops near the shore for a swim; the island itself is not visited. Enjoy time in the clear water before continuing to the Blue Caves, if weather permits. The changing colours of the water are part of the scenery here.
Time to explore Paxos
The trip continues to Paxos, where you can wander its narrow streets or stop for a coffee with views towards the island of Saint Nikolaos or the mainland coast. After your time on Paxos, the boat returns to Corfu.

Everything was as described. In addition, our personal highlight was seeing dolphins and having a party with another boat. Definitely worth it.

The pick up and the boat trip was amazing, the staff were chatty and friendly. But we wasn’t given enough time to jump on the bus back and it left without us and we had to pay for a taxi back. Very unprofessional and was fuming.

It's unbelievable, and that was the last time I booked an excursion through Get Your Guide. Pick-up from Paleo Camping at 6:45 a.m., a 1 hour 45 minute journey from the agreed meeting point to the boat with 6 stops across the island. Instead of 8 a.m., the ship didn't set sail until 9:15 a.m. Arrival on Paxos at 11:20 a.m. We were supposed to have 2 hours of free time there, but it was 11:35 a.m. by the time we got off the boat, so we only had 1 hour and 40 minutes of free time on Paxos. 1:15 pm onward to Antipaxos – arrival there 15 minutes later, 1 hour to swim and then back to Corfu, arrival there at 6:25 pm, back by bus to Paleo, arrival there at 8:10 pm! We were on the go for over 13 hours and only stayed for a total of 2 hours and 40 minutes. It definitely wasn't worth it. Not a nice excursion!
