Question 2

What is the best route to sail Corfu?

Accepted Answer

A Corfu cruising itinerary takes you to the beautiful bays and coves of the Ionian Islands off Albania and Greece’s Northwestern shore. They are among the most scenic in Greece, with woodlands spread over the hills like an emerald carpet. Sandy beaches and picturesque fishing villages add to the beauty. The ambience is peaceful and serene, the waters and balmy winds inviting. The typical Corfu Itinerary focuses on both the Northern and the Southern Ionian Islands, so you get to island hop around a wide range of Greek islands along your route. A few of the villages, towns and islands you’ll have the opportunity to discover if you follow one of our unique itineraries include Petriti, Kalami Bay, Sivota Mourtos, Parga and Ithaca!

The rewards of a Corfu charter vacation are many, whether you want relaxing activities or exhilarating excursions! Some of our favorite things to do in Corfu include:

The old town - In the center of town near the old port there is a magnificent Venetian district with colorful streets lined with numerous shops and taverns.

Byzantine Art Museum

Arseniou Street in the Antivouniotissa Church

Fortifications - Napoleon Bonaparte later modified the new fort from the 16th and 17th century. The old fort was occupied by the Venetians for a long time. A "Son and Lumiere" spectacle is frequently given in different languages.

The Liston - Across from the old fort there are arcades constructed by the French. There you will find a variety of terraced cafes overlooking an esplanade where traditional cricket matches are played

Archaeological museum - Vraila Street at the end of the road of Garitsa Bay near Corfu Palace.  There are numerous examples of prehistoric tools and pottery exhibited

Water activities - Snorkelling, swimming, and sunbathing at pristine beaches is a delight. Scuba diving is excellent in the area (guided excursions required due to regulations). At The Moorings, we provide snorkelling gear on all charters for your pleasure (flippers, masks and snorkels)

Enjoy exploring small towns, historic monasteries and castles, and relaxing aboard your Moorings yacht.

Question 4

What is the best month to visit Corfu?

Accepted Answer

June, July and August are the most popular months to visit Corfu for families because of the high temperatures, lack of rain and school holidays. However, if you want a quieter holiday with less tourists but the same amazing sailing conditions, consider booking your Corfu yacht charter in May or September as they still fall within the sailing season but they avoid school holiday times!
