More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard as the harbor loosens its knots and the Ionian Sea takes the wheel—blue hills fade, white houses shrink, and the boat carves a path along Corfu’s northeastern ribs. Salt breezes push you toward sea caves and small bays; the captain radios a shallow inlet and the crew slides a ladder into glass-clear water. A chapel-weighted outcrop and the cave of Agios Andreas appear as sculpted voids in limestone, inviting a cool swim. Later, the beach BBQ heats up: skewers sizzle, local wine is poured, and strangers share the kind of easy conversation that only sunlight and salt can coax.
