Watch the Experience
Words cannot capture the feeling of the Ionian wind. Watch our 2026 season preview below:
1. Choose Your Route
Corfu sits at the crossroads of three distinct maritime zones. Choosing the right one depends on your style:
- For the Adventurer: Paxos & Antipaxos. The famous Blue Caves and teal waters of Voutoumi.
- For the Connoisseur: The Diapontia Islands. The "Maldives of Corfu" in the unused north.
- For the Romantic: The Wild West (Agios Gordios) or the famous Porto Timoni Twin Bays.
- For the Classic: The North-East Coast (Erimitis). Small pebbled bays, upscale tavernas, and Rothschild-estate glamour.
2. Skipper vs. Self-Drive
We are often asked if you can rent a boat without a license. While you can rent small plastic boats, the experience is incomparable to a skippered cruise. A professional captain removes the stress of anchoring, navigation, and liability. Read our detailed comparison here.
3. The "Villa & Boat" Package
For the ultimate seamless experience, many of our guests combine their stay at 10k Stones Villa with a dedicated boat package. This ensures your vehicle and vessel are coordinated perfectly.
