More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from Marina Gouvia and the town falls away—white façades and the Old Fortress shrink as the sail fills and the Aegean breeze takes hold. The water ahead changes from deep blue to the green-blue clarity that defines Corfu; the boat threads small islands and sheltered coves where each drop of sea seems to dare you to dive in.
