Superb trip, attentive staff... The only downside was that we had not been informed that due to the end of the season, the boat was staying at the port of Benitses... so the end of the journey was by bus, 1 hour to reach the port of Corfu. Too bad, a little disappointment after a very nice day!

5 out of 5 stars

A lovely day that was provided; such a brilliant atmosphere on the boat from the second we left the port to our return. Well worth the money for the stunning views. Great range of drinks and food also supplied on the boat for extra £££
