Great day out! Very comfy boat space with glorious views of Greece and the islands. Some information from the captain as we went along but not too much, just pointing out key points - in a variety of languages. We opted for the bus to see a beautiful beach on Paxos. Long day, but the boat has a cafe and drinks.

I booked this trip through Viator and was given a 9am hotel pickup time. The day before seemingly Viator email a time change to 0815 which we didn’t receive. Pachis came to the hotel but as we weren’t outside drove off without us. Their driver couldn’t be bothered to come into our hotel and ask for us. We were ready and could have gone. So we have missed the trip and lost money. So my simple advice - don’t use them.

The transfer to and from the boat by Pachi Travel was excellent. The boat was overcrowded. We already had a large group of passengers when we left Corfu and then stopped in Lefkemi where at least that many were added. The boat was clearly overcrowded, with passengers searching for seats. The time spent in transit was proportionally greater than time spent on shore. The combination of engine noise, loud music, and people trying to speak over it made for an uncomfortable and long journey.

Don’t waste your money! What they don’t tell you is it’s 3 hours to get there, then an hour between each island and the long journey back- all for 2 hours on each island. It is a lot longer than the advertised 8 hour day- we left the hotel at 8.30am and got back at 7.30pm. The Saaris boat was Old and noisy, one couldn’t hear the announcements if sitting outside as the engine noises were too great, and she gave slightly different information out depending on what language she was speaking!!! Parga is sweet but just enough time to eat lunch or wander but not both, then at Paxos the boat parked about a mile from the town, so for the infirm it was impossible, and then just more shopping when you got there. A long day with little to see whilst on the boat and not much when you get there!!

Nice trip. Staff friendly. Villages visited very beautiful and about the right amount of time spent in each place. Boat very busy however and they do cram you in. One of the better corfu tours. It’s not outstanding but nice….

As with anything like this, it's normal to worry about the pick-up but we were messaged through Viator two days before the boat trip with a pick-up time from the hotel in Benitses. Coach was there 10 minutes early and we made our way to Lefkimmi Port. Two other coaches joined behind us and we waited around 15 minutes for the Georgia boat to reach us after having left Corfu Town Port 90 minutes earlier. The sole negative of this trip was evident immediately - it was already packed, and there were at least another 150 people off the coaches to get onto the boat. Cue mass elbow shoving and a fight for any remaining seats. It's evident from reviews that the boats are packed to the max for any of the day-long Corfu boat trips so at least we knew what to expect. The journey to Parga was marred by extortionate drinks from the tuck-shop style bar and people refusing to budge on the benches where there was clearly enough room for another person or two. Still, we got to Parga - and we were invigorated. Parga is, at least from what we saw, a little bit of paradise. A crystal-clear sea, worthy of a short swim. Surrounded by idyllic tiny islands, one of which had a church on and could only be accessed by swimming there. We're already researching Parga as our next holiday destination as a 1.45hr stay wasn't long enough. And so we learned immediately that to get the best seats on the boat, we had to get on earlier - 15 minutes before most others. For the one-hour journey from Parga to Paxos we had front row seats on the top deck with low deck chairs - and my-oh-my what a difference a good seat makes. Paxos on the other hand was a little underwhelming compared to Parga and we only needed less than hour to take it all in as we had eaten at Parga, despite being given another 1.45hrs. And yet again, realising there was nothing more to see, we sneakily crept back to the boat to join the queue that began forming half hour before departure. As most people in front of us wanted a table with their seats, we were fortunate yet again to get the low deck chairs on the top deck. One of the staff members warned us that if we stayed there, we would get splashed by the sea due to the winds. But what's a boat trip without being splashed by the sea? On arrival back at Lefkimmi Port, the coaches were already waiting with hotel names listed on the front, so you knew which one to get onto and the return transfer was as smooth as anything. Unlike other boat trips from Corfu, this is not a party boat - which was great news, as we were treated to traditional Greek music softly simmering from the speakers. TIPS: Wear swimwear if you're going swimming. Don't buy anything from the bar, it's a rip-off, bring your own drink or food. If you want a good seat return to the boat early. Don't sit inside the boat, it's full of grumpy people. Overall, it's worth doing and one of the only boat tours that goes to Parga, just expect a busy, busy boat.

What a fun day out. Opportunities for swimming in both places. Staff were very friendly. All very comfortable - some areas of the boat were even air conditioned.

Great service, plenty of time in ports, comfy boat😂 great experience . Good for families and for couples. Good way of exploring.

Trip booked easily through viator and whilst our hotel wasn't listed as a pick up point it was a short 2 min walk to the closest point. The bus to the port wad 15 minutes late but wasn't bad as we were the last pick up. The boat was nice and comfy with plenty of shaded or air conditioned areas. Staff lovely and helpful and well stocked bar and snack area. Small trip offered in paxos to go on a small bus around the island, glad we did it as wasn't much else there to do if you didn't. Buses were all different coming back, we got 10 min away from our hotel and then ended up being another 40 minutes after that, just seemed no logic.

Please avoid this trip. Apparently it is lovely if the weather is good, but I wouldn’t be too sure of that. We had a dreadful trip ~ some similar trips on the same day were cancelled for safety reasons. The weather was windy & the boat did not feel safe ~ we were rocking all over the place. Even if the weather is good it takes 2.5hrs to get from Corfu port to Parga where we stayed for just under 2hrs. Then it takes a further 2hrs to get across to Paxos. There is nothing much in Paxos ~ just a marina & it’s a fair walk from the dock, no good if you had mobility problems. We docked there for nearly 2 hrs and then another 2-2.5hrs back to Corfu. We were never so glad to get off that boat. I had to give this one star before it would let me post ~ I wouldn’t give it any!!

Be aware that you will only be allowed visiting time on the destinations for approx 3 hrs of the total 12 hrs journey. Don t take the bus tour (€ 9 per person) on the Paxos island, nor worth it and you are left with only 40 min to visut the harbour town around the Canal. If you are easaly unsettled on a boat be aware that the sea is heavy on the return to Corfu. Not a good experience!

Beautiful scenery on voyage from Corfu to Parga. Parga is a very pretty port with lots of restaurants and shops. Lots of steps and hills so not ideal for people with mobility problems. Well worth a visit. Paxos is another very attractive port which has developed considerably since the 1970s. Not the sleepy Greek island it was! Enjoyed the day but didn't really have enough time in either place. We probably should not have taken the coach trip round the island as we would have liked more time in Gaios. Long day -11 hours in all but a good day out.

Fantastic trip, a long day but well worth the fee. The staff on the boat were friendly and very attentive. We had lunch at one of the restaurants in Parga, not cheap but very nice meal. They are obviously making the most of the tourists from the excursions. It was a very hot day so we did not walk too far. There was a beach so a quick dip in the sea is possible. We had slightly less time in Paxos which is lovely and we plan to return to spend a little longer exploring. This is a great opportunity to get an experience of the two areas.

This trip was wonderful. Picked up at the hotel and taken to a lovely boat for a trip to Parga a lovely seaside town with some nice shops and cafes. Then on to Paxos a lovely Island where we were given the option of a minibus tour round the island or to go for a swim and / or shopping. A lovely relaxing way to see the area then back to Corfu and taken to the hotel. Superb.

Ci è piaciuto solo Parga, il resto del viaggio troppo lungo con poco tempo di permanenza. Non lo rifarei se si ha pochi giorni di permanenza

Bon timing. Trop peu de place à l’intérieur du bateau. Il faisait froid et nous avons dû aller sur le dessus du bateau à l’aller . Conséquence. Malades toutes les deux le lendemain.

Op zich zou dit een fantastische trip kunnen zijn.. maar je zit de helft van de dag op de boot.. en zeker in Covid tijd is dat niet erg aangenaam met de mondkapjes op enkele uren aaneengesloten. Bij lekker weer kun je wel op het dek zitten maar helaas voor ons een regenachtige dag. Op het 1e eiland heb je 1 uur de tijd om rond te kijken, een hapje te eten en wat te drinken. Het tweede eiland heb je 1,5 uur maar moet je een stuk lopen voor je bij het dorpje bent. Dat is super jammer want het lijken ons erg leuke eilanden. Wat verder naar boven was nog een en ander te bezichtigen maar dan moet je stevig door kunnen lopen wil je dat redden in die korte tijd. aan boord van de boot is gelukkig wel een goed assortiment aan hapjes en drankjes te koop.

Det var en utrolig smuk tur og natur. Det var herligt at komme ud på vandet, da det var virkelig varmt i Parga. Mange var ude at svømme fra båden. Jeg kan desværre ikke svømme, så jeg havde ikke badetøj med. Det havde mit barnebarn Amalie heller ikke. Vi havde tilpas tid på Paxos til lige at snuse til øen. Troede vi kom i land på Antpaxos, men sådan var det så ikke. Turen kan varmt anbefales.

C'est un circuit intéressant, dommage que le bateau n'aille pas plus vite car les traversées sont un peu longues.

6:30 ore di viaggio 4 ore di visita, 2 ore per meta, entrambe le mete niente di che, equipaggio e intrattenimento uguale a zero, informazioni di servizio che spaccano le orecchie, e niente, Da non rifare sicuramente la cosa più soddisfacente purtroppo è stata scegliere di fare questa recensione, Saluti.
