The Parga & Sivota Islands Blue Lagoon Cruise is the best way to experience the beautiful coast of mainland Greece.
First, our departure from the port of Corfu gives a unique view of the Old Town, its two overlooking Venetian fortresses, the Kanoni peninsula and the palace of Mon Repos, where Prince Phillip was born.
10 min - We sail around the historical small islands of Sivota, where the great naval battle between the Corfiots and the Corinthians took place in the summer of 432 B.C. Many of the vessels sunk in the fighting are still there at the bottom of the sea. Soon afterwards, we arrive at the picturesque Blue Lagoon bay, where historians say the Arabian pirates moored their ships in the Middle Ages. We drop anchor close to the beach, and you will have the opportunity to swim in the lagoon’s exotic blue waters.
2 hr - Parga is a large picturesque village with island architecture, with a rich history, rare physical beauty, interlaced beaches, emerald water, calm bays, olive groves, healthy climate, romantic side streets, and pathways whose two and three-storey houses form an amphitheatre beneath the imposing remains of a Venetian castle. Opposite the castle, at the entrance to the port, there is a small island dedicated to the Virgin Mary, with a church and several medieval Venetian and French buildings. Do not miss the chance to explore the Venetian castle, whose main building houses a photo exhibition of ancient Parga. As you might expect, the castle also offers some stunning views over Parga and the Ionian Sea. As the afternoon comes around, you will have the chance to stroll through the wonderful narrow streets, discover the many interesting curios shops, have a drink at one of the traditional seafront tavernas, or enjoy swimming to one of the three beaches of Parga.

Excellent tour! Beautiful towns. Tour guide Maria is a gem, super friendly and great hostess. Boat crew performed traditional greek dance towards the end. Highly recommended.
My favorite part was being able to share this experience with my daughter. The crew was helpful and friendly and the rich history was awesome. The entire landscape was amazing! I finally got a chance to see dolphins jumping and playing together up close and personal. Absolutely amazing!
It was overall great tour. Smooth ride with an amazing panoramic. Friendly crew except the guy behind the bar. Rude and seems he doesn't like to be there. Other than that, all good. Especially the tour guide, she's explaining all well in 5 different languages. Amazing
It is not really the visit of islands but of villages on the coast of the continent. But, it’s a very pleasant visit and the IONIAN CRUISES company is very good, the staff welcoming. The boat is a little run down, however.
