Parga: Ultimate Paxos, Antipaxos & Blue Caves Cruise + Swim
Step aboard the Vicky-F — the iconic boat featured in 'Maestro in Blue' on Netflix — and experience the original cruise from Parga to Paxos and Antipaxos, still operated by the local Paxiot family who launched it nearly 30 years ago. Grand, spacious and exceptionally sturdy, Vicky-F is a comfortable choice for families, couples and adventurers alike — perfect for a relaxed day of sightseeing, swimming and exploration. It’s also the only cruise that takes you around the full northern coast of Paxos — from Loggos and Lakka to the spectacular Blue Caves of Ipapandi — offering a truly exclusive experience you won’t find anywhere else. Your journey begins as we cruise past Loggos, the smallest and most picturesque of Paxos’ villages, followed by a 1.5 hour stop in Lakka, a tranquil harbour town known for its crystal-clear waters. Here, you can enjoy coffee or pastries from local bakeries, shop in charming boutiques, or take a refreshing swim at lovely Harami Beach. Next, we visit the famous Blue Caves — a highlight of the Ionian Sea. Weather permitting, we’ll enter three of the most impressive caves: Ipapandi, Achai, and Ortholithos, for a magical, up-close encounter with nature... and awesome photo opportunities! We then head to Antipaxos, renowned for its glowing turquoise waters and white sandy beaches. We'll cruise by Voutoumi Beach — often nicknamed the “Blue Lagoon” — where you’ll enjoy up to 45 minutes of swimming and relaxing in the surrounding crystal-clear seas. Note: Passenger boats cannot enter Voutoumi directly, so we anchor just to the left or right at Mesovrika Beach for the best views and comfort. Finally, we arrive in Gaios, the vibrant capital of Paxos. You’ll have 1.5 hours to explore the town, enjoy lunch or sweets at a waterfront café, and browse handmade jewelry, local olive oils, and artisan wares. If you feel like a final swim, walk just 250m from the port to pebbled Giana Beach if desired. Join us for the most iconic cruise in the region — shaped by local insight, decades of experience and a legacy proudly sharing the magic of our homeland — the place where our story began ♡ *Note: The cruise schedule may change due to weather conditions
