Detailed Itinerary by days
Day 1Corfu (Gouvia Marina) - Kassiopi
Starting your journey in Gouvia Marina, where elegant ships bob in the shadow of Venetian past, Sail north on the rocky coast of the island, passing olive trees and monasteries by cliffs. In Kassiopi, a picturesque town capped with a Byzantine castle, dock. Swim at Bataria Beach, its stones polished smooth by the Ionian's turquoise waves, then eat pastitsada (cinnamon-laced beef stew) at a taverna nest under old plane trees. Wander the harbor lighted by lanterns as night sets; the smell of jasmine mingles with sea salt.
Day 2Kassiopi - Ereikoussa
Glide northwest to Ereikoussa, the smallest of the Diapontia Islands, where unspoiled beaches collide with pine woods. Anchor in the lazy harbor, where visitors are outnumbered by fishing boats. Walk to the hilltop church for views of Albania's far-off mountains or snorkel the glittering depths of the Blue Cave. Eat bianco, garlicky fish stew, in a family-run taverna; the stars on the quiet water seem like diamonds. Tip: This is Greece as it once was—quiet, unvarnished, and rather magical.
Day 3Ereikoussa - Ereikoussa
Free day to unload. Claim Braghini Beach as your own; paddle to Othonoi, the legendary island of Calypso; its beautiful sand flanked by cedar trees is yours. Lunch is feta and sun-warmed tomatoes at a seaside picnic table; afterward, siesta in a hammock stretched between pines. Join residents for raki and dominoes at the kafeneio by dusk to hear laughter across the harbour.
Day 4Ereikoussa - Sagiada
Go east to Sagiada, a mainland fishing community where Greece joins Albania. Dock at a harbour bustling with yells of "Yassou!," clattering fishing nets. At a seaside ouzeri, feast on grilled sardines and stroll the peaceful alleyways where time moves to the rhythm of the sea. Local secret: Worth an early wake-up, the Kalamas River Delta nearby teems with flamingos at sunrise.
Day 5Sagiada - Mourtos
Go south to Mourtos, a group of islets in the Syvota archipelago. Drop anchor in the Blue Lagoon; its sapphire to emerald water gradient is gradual. Swim, paddleboard, or just float; then land in Syvota's harbor for bourdeto (spicy scorpionfish stew) at a taverna covered in bougainvillea. Watch the bay spark with the lights of yachts and laughter as evening falls.
Day 6Mourtos - Corfu
Go back to Corfu, but first stop in Paleokastritsa, where legends of Odysseus shipwrecked find azure bays cradled on cliffs. Explore Agios Spiridon Beach then sail into the Old Port of Corfu Town. Search for kumquat liqueur and gold-thread needlework by meandering the UNESCO-listed lanes of the Liston. At a courtyard taverna, toast your trip with sofrito—veal in wine sauce—while the sound of accordions floats from secret alleyways.
Day 7Corfu - Check-out
One farewell cappuccino at Café Bristol, its marble tables glistened in Habsburg grandeur. Walk the Spianada, the biggest square in Europe, where cricket matches take place under the Old Fortress. Disembark carrying olive oil soap, a heart full of Ionian sunshine, and the serene assurance that Corfu—like all great loves—will welcome you back in a suitcase.
