The departing view of Corfu harbour provides a unique view of the old town and its two Venetian fortresses.

The excursion returns once again to Paxos from the east side of the island. Moor in the centre of the picturesque port of Gaios village. Here you will have the opportunity to wander through the wonderful narrow streets, visit the souvenir shops and enjoy lunch at one of the traditional tavernas.
