Day 2: Corfu Island - Paxos Island
After breakfast, the boat casts off and cruises to the olive island of Paxos. Paxos is the smallest of the seven Ionian Islands with a higher population of olive trees than people – 32 km² are home to over 250,000 olive trees! They cover the island in a wonderful silver-green shimmer. The natural harbor of Gaios is unique and provides a special atmosphere during your stay here. In the afternoon, you can enjoy a short ride along the coast to Kaki Lagkada Beach to swim in the crystal clear Ionian Sea. The evening can be spent relaxing in a local tavern in Gaios.Day 3: Paxos Island - Lefkas Island
On its way to Lefkas Island and Lefkas City, the boat anchors first near Antipaxos for a swim stop. After a long cruise, you will reach a narrow channel with an original swing bridge connecting the Greek mainland with the island. From Lefkas City, you begin your bike tour around the lagoon and enjoy a second swim at the white sandy beach, Agios Ioannis. After returning to the boat, you navigate your way to Nidri where you will spend the evening and the night.Day 4: Lefkas Island and Cephalonia
From Nidri, you cycle through olive groves in the morning to a nearby waterfall. If you are lucky, a steady stream of water will enable you to take a refreshing swim. Following the excursion, you make your way to Fiskardo on the island of Cephalonia. This port, located at the northern tip of the island, delights with its colorful little houses and many cafes and bars along the picturesque harbor promenade. An evening walk of approx. 30 minutes will lead to a pretty lighthouse.Day 5: Cephalonia Island and Meganisi Island
After a short crossing, you arrive at the harbor of Sami. From here you start your cycling tour along the coast to the enchanting Melissani cave, which can only be visited with a rowboat. A visit to a donkey farm, knowledge, and fun at the same time for all ages, is next on the agenda before the tour takes you back to the boat. The boat meets you in Sami and takes you for a well-deserved swim break. The journey then takes you further to Meganisi, a charming island where you spend the night.Day 6: Meganisi Island - Arillas
After breakfast, you have the opportunity to explore Meganisi by bike. Afterward, a long crossing takes you to Arillas, an idyllic and peaceful place along the west coast of Greece, close to Perdika on the Greek mainland. A stroll along the sandy beach or a swim from your floating accommodations, the Panagiota rounds off the day.Day 7: Arillas - Corfu
Your bike tour leads along remote streets under the shade of old olive trees through a national park and along a little river until you reach the monastery of Agios Athanasios.

Extra Info
Skill Level — Easy
This tour is rated as easy and is ideal for a family adventure. The longer tours on Lefkas and Paxos are described in detail by the tour guide so you can decide on any given day what you would like to do. The walks and small hikes lead along good paths, some of which are even asphalted and do not require special training. If special activities require more physical fitness, the tour guide will point this out before. This adventure tour is very suitable for children. Please note that we can only provide rental bikes from a height of 1.30 m. Child seats and trailer bikes are available on request.
Airport Info
Fly into and out of Corfu International Airport (CFU) also known as Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport, located approximately 3 kilometers south of Corfu Town.
Local Travel
Port of embarkation on the Island of Corfu is generally decided the evening before the tour begins which is why we highly recommend an arrival transfer. On the day of embarkation, there are three mooring possibilities; either in the Corfu yard port, below the Old Fortress, or the Corfu city ferry port, or in Marina Gouvia (about 10 km north of Corfu City.)
If you do not book an arrival transfer, you will be provided a number to call on the day of embarkation, so as to know where to find your ship.
You can then take a taxi or bus from Corfu city. If you use a standard taxi, please insist that the driver turns on the taximeter to avoid unpleasant surprises regarding the fare.Climate
The Ionian Islands, located in the western part of Greece, have a Mediterranean climate. High summer, during the months of July and August, can be quite warm. Rainfall is sparse during the summer months this tour is scheduled. Please check local conditions prior to departure.
Recommended
The Panagiota does not offer a WiFi connection. If you need to connect to the internet during the tour, we recommend renting your own personal portable WiFi device such as MyWebSpot or to take your smart device to a cafe or bar somewhere in the harbor. Free WiFi is offered almost everywhere. As long as you order something to eat or drink, then you are able to use the WiFi free of charge.
Remarks
Helmets are mandatory on this bike and boat tour in Greece and we recommended that you bring your own well-fitting helmet. There is a limited number of rental helmets available in limited numbers (reservation required). Children’s helmets are unfortunately not available but required.

We suggest that you extend your time in Corfu. You will be glad you did. Strolling through the lively old town streets of Corfu, which are characterized by Venetian style and where countless small shops offer a colorful mix of different goods, is a real holiday experience. Also impressive are the old and the new fortress, which are just as popular photo motifs as the monastery island of Vlacherna, which is connected to the mainland by a dam, and the directly adjacent mouse island (Pontikonissi).
