TOUR DESCRIPTION
Top up the tan, do all the souvenir shopping and take in some of Corfu's checkered history as you feel the cool sea breeze on your cheeks. This is the ideal way to avoid hot crowded buses.
This tour is seasonal and operates from May to October only.
Sailing from Imerolia your cruise to the picturesque capital of Corfu will take approximately 1.5 hours. The cruise will pass the harbor of Kassiopi, along the north east coast, famous for its luxury villas and beautiful scenery. Looking inland across the olive clad slopes, cast your eyes to the highest peak - Pantocrator.

Mooring in the old port, it is only a few minutes walk into the pedestrian center of this historic town. There is a myriad of shops selling some of Corfu's best souvenirs including leather goods, furs, ceramics and leather. The Liston is the place to be seen with smart coffee bars lining the street overlooking the old fort. A great place to relax and soak up the atmosphere with a cold beer or perhaps a Corfiot ginger beer.

For those more interested in the sites than the shopping, you will not be disappointed. Enter the Old and New Forts, but don't forget to be respectfully dressed to enter the famous Church of St Spiridon with its tall red campanile.

The British cemetery is a garden full of orchids in spring and the headstones tell the tale of the checkered history of Corfu. The Archaeological museum is off Garitsa bay behind the Corfu Palace hotel.

You will have three hours to explore before setting sail for your leisurely homeward journey.

During the day you will stop for approximately one hour to swim and cool off in the clear Ionian Sea, and have lunch at a seaside tavern in Kerassia. The pebbly beach is a good spot to try some snorkeling and is a beautiful place on Corfu's well known north east coast with a dramatic mountain backdrop.
