Top Ionian Islands Water Tours

The Blue Caves are widely considered among the Ionian Islands’ top natural attractions, but their remote shoreline location makes visiting independently a challenge. On this tour, reach the caves with ease—with round-trip transportation from your Corfu hotel included. With your guide to lead the way, you also take in top sites of interest including the peaceful village of Lakka, the soft-sand beaches of Paxos, and the island of Antipaxos.
