Spend a full day aboard a 35ft RIB from Corfu exploring Erikoussa, Othonoi and Mathraki—hidden Ionian isles of cliffs, clear water and quiet villages. Snorkel, swim, and stroll secluded beaches with local snacks and a prosecco toast.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from Corfu’s harbor and the islanded horizon opens: limestone cliffs cut into the Ionian Sea, gulls wheel like punctuation marks, and the RIB’s bow throws sprays that glint like coins. By midmorning you’re threading between three outposts of wild Greece — Erikoussa, Othonoi and Mathraki — where the water dares you to jump and the coastline pushes you to slow down.

Book morning departures
Winds often pick up in the afternoon; an early departure increases chances of calm water for snorkeling and smooth rides.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect marine life and your skin — oils can harm Posidonia meadows and coral habitats around the islands.
Secure loose items
Waves and turns on a RIB can shake things loose—use a dry bag and tighten camera straps.
