Corfu is one of the most beautiful Greek islands to visit, with everything from stunning architecture to some of Europe’s best beaches. But to really enjoy Corfu you have to leave it – that is, take a boat trip into the turquoise waters. Onboard you can discover hidden beaches, tiny islands, magical caves and swim and snorkel. Here are three of the best Corfu boat tours.
Explore Corfu with Flash boat – Private Tour/Excursion
Feel like a rock star (for karaoke star money) with this private excursion around the turquoise waters of Corfu. This boat trip zooms around the island picking out the best swimming spots, as well as catching amazing views of the historic Old Town from the water. The experienced local skipper really knows the waters and takes care of everything, with beers, soft drinks and snacks all loaded onboard (and all included). It’s a full day, eight hours long, and there are secret beaches and snorkelling opportunities too, plus lunch (not included) at a seaside seafood restaurant on Glyfa beach. When you consider the price is per group up to four, it’s not bad value at all. From €430.

This romantic boat trip heads out to the picturesque Pontikonisi, also known as Mouse Island (for the mouse tail-like steps that lead up to the monastery), just as the sun starts to set. What makes the trip even more adorable is that it is with a wooden traditional boat, sailing gently past Venetian fortresses, the Palace of Mon Repos and Kanoni peninsula. Arriving at Mouse Island to enjoy sunset, a BBQ is then served onboard, with a glass of wine to toast the end of the day. It’s amazing value and one of the island’s most relaxing excursions. From €30.40.
