Corfu by private water taxi

Most transfers leave from Mandraki Harbour beneath the Old Fortress or from D-Marin Gouvia Marina. For Albania or Montenegro we use the Corfu Old Port, which has the passport desk. If your hotel sits on the Kommeno or Kanoni shoreline, we can arrange a pickup at its jetty.

The scheduled cruise from Corfu Town to Gaios takes around two and a half hours each way with a fixed timetable. A private boat covers it in roughly an hour and fifteen, and you set both the departure and the return, so a Paxos-Antipaxos day feels unhurried.

Yes. Saranda is in Albania, so it is an international crossing: bring a valid passport for everyone aboard. We depart from the Corfu Old Port where clearance is handled, and the strait itself is a short run of well under an hour.

That is a long open-sea passage up the Adriatic rather than a routine transfer, so we handle it on request only, as a seasonal run subject to boat, weather window and border clearance. Tell us your dates and we will confirm whether it is feasible and quote accordingly.

The Ionian is gentle by Greek standards. Mornings are usually calm; the north-westerly Maestro breeze builds through the afternoon and eases by dusk. We plan longer legs, like Paxos or the Albanian coast, for the calm early hours whenever the forecast calls for it.

The reliable window runs from late May to late September, with July and August busiest. Spring around Orthodox Easter is beautiful but the sea is cooler and less settled; winter service is weather-dependent.
