Dit kun je verwachten

Het noorden van Corfu bestaat uit idyllische dorpjes, monumenten en een ruige kust. Je trekt de zonovergoten glooiende heuvels in om het Achillion Paleis, de schilderachtige kust van Paleokastritsa en vele andere bezienswaardigheden te ontdekken. Ook neem je een kijkje bij een kumquat distilleerderij om deze traditionele likeur van Corfu te proeven. Spiros, een van onze lokale gidsen, zegt: "Kumquat likeur is typisch voor Corfu - het wordt nergens anders in Griekenland gemaakt. Het is een deel van onze identiteit. Om te leren hoe deze Aziatische vrucht op het eiland is gekomen, is een echte eye-opener".

Je bezoekt enkele van Corfu's topattracties. De eerste is het Achillion. Dit paleis biedt een adembenemend uitzicht op de kust van Corfu en de zorgvuldig aangelegde tuinen zijn een kunstwerk op zich. Spiros voegt eraan toe: "Keizerin Sissi van Oostenrijk was dol op Corfu en zijn mythologische erfgoed, vooral het verhaal van Achilles. Het paleis en de tuinen staan dan ook vol met beelden van Griekse goden en godinnen."Ook in het kustplaatsje Paleokastritsa kijk je je ogen uit. Je hebt de tijd om het orthodoxe klooster te bezoeken - de toegang is gratis - of de vele baaien met prachtige stranden. Of je stapt hier aan boord voor een boottocht.

Bovendien proef je de kenmerkende smaak van het landelijke Corfu. Je brengt een bezoek aan een familiebedrijf dat kumquat distilleert. Hier kom je alles te weten over deze exotische citrusvrucht. Marmelade, frisdranken en siroop zijn slechts enkele van de producten die van kumquat worden gemaakt. Maar het is de zoete en geurige likeur - vaak verkocht in flessen in de vorm van Corfu - die iconisch voor het eiland is geworden.

Corfu Catamaran Cruise with Traditional Greek Lunch and Drinks

Our ultimate catamaran trip gives you a new perspective on Corfu. The island's rugged coastline is the backdrop of this relaxing day out, which features plenty of swimming stops. What's more, a traditional lunch and drinks round off the experience. Spiros, one of our local guides, says, ‘This cruise for me is Corfu in a nutshell – in the lap of luxury and in the lap of the gods. You get to enjoy vistas of heavenly coastline whilst living it up on board with unlimited drinks and a typical Greek lunch.'You'll be picked up and brought to the harbour to board your catamaran – and from here on in, you won't have to lift a finger. This cruise is all about soaking up the sun and enjoying the scenery. Steep cliffs, secluded beaches and little fishing villages surrounded by juniper green vegetation – it's quite a view. Spiros adds, ‘This catamaran is the real deal, with a trampoline net for lying on. It's like being on a hammock – but over the water. I love it.' Along the way you'll get to spot some famous landmarks from the hit-series 'The Durrells', as well as the house of the real Laurence Durrell, back in the 1930s. And, there's at least four anchored stops for you to dive into the Ionian Sea and use the snorkelling equipment provided. Relax on the breezy deck or in the shaded area, before a lunch of Greek specialities and drinks await. Plus, you'll have a crew at hand to cater for every need, as well as give you information on Corfu and the fauna and flora of the Ionian.
