Fra Korfu: Dagscruise til Paxos, Antipaxos og de blå grottene

The crew did a fantastic job keeping us safe on some very choppy waters. The weather was certainly against us in the morning hit it did clear up in the afternoon. We visited 1 cave (not 2 as listed) which was a little underwhelming but was incredible to see the beautiful clear waters and go for a swim. The island had very little open as we were a few weeks before the season opened so there wasn’t a whole lot to do/see. The cruise was from 10am-5pm, and there wasn’t much excitement generated or information provided. Any information that was provided was received over an incredibly loud tannoy that was hard to listen to due to its extreme volume. There was one particular crew member, the captain, who was generating some excitement on the boat with chats and dancing but due to the choppy waters people weren’t able to join in. I think in peak season this could be a wonderful cruise, but for us it felt a bit flat and enjoyment was lower than we had hoped.

Świetna wycieczka, aż zaskakujące są te oceny innych osób. Pogoda bardzo dopisała, dzięki czemu kapitan wpływał do jaskiń, audioprzewodnik po polsku opisywał atrakcje. Dodatkowo przewodnik po angielsku opowiadał jeszcze inne ciekawostki. Atmosfera załogi świetna. A przystanek przy plaży? Niesamowity! Statek zacumował opodal, można było się kąpać i samodzielnie w 2 minuty popłynąć do przepięknęj plaży w towarzystwie niebywale lazurowej wody, efekt wzmagał biały piasek na dnie, coś wspaniałego. Jeżeli ktoś nie potrafi pływać były dostępne kapoki. Następnie przypłynęliśmy do pięknego urokliwego małego miasteczka Gaios. Bar, można coś zjeść i się napić, ceny standardowo trochę drożej niż w sklepie. Nie żałujemy. Naprawdę świetna cena za taką przygodę. Bardzo polecamy. Byliśmy pod koniec kwietnia, sezon się jeszcze w pełni nie zaczął, przy czym nic nie było przeludnione, dzięki temu wszystko miało jeszcze piękny lokalny klimat.

The journeys long, 1.5 hrs from corfu town to pick up more passengers at lefkimmi. Approx. 2 hours to go antipaxos for the blue caves, we just went to the entrance of 2 caves, so not much to see, neither did I think it was accessible. Had 1 hr to swim at a bay in antipaxos, the water was clear but bit cold, sunny but temp was 23°. Had a walk around Gaios in paxos, not much to do except lunch, neither was there enough time to explore the entire island. The prices for cocktails and food in the cruise were a bit pricey. Boat can be packed depending on day/season. The travel back was a bit dreading as everyone seemed tired or bored due to the journey times and lack of activities to do on board. There was a little dance show by 2 crew members, but I think that was improvised as the crew was able to tell no one was engaged. Theo was a very informative guide regarding antipaxos, corfu, paxos and the caves and monuments. Paxos and antipaxos is very beautiful though. The crew was very friendly.
