✨

Our Pick

Must-Visit by Boat in Corfu

Our picks of Coastal Gems accessible by yacht.

Corfu Town Capital

Corfu Town

The Capital

The Vibe: Venice without the canals. Elegant, bustling, and historic.

The Sailor's Tip: Try to dock at Mandraki Harbor. It is located inside the Old Fortress. It is small and exclusive (members only, but they often allow visitors). If you get a spot, you are sleeping inside a castle. If not, NAOK Yacht Club is your best bet.

Why Go: To walk the 'Liston' promenade and drink ginger beer (a leftover British tradition) watching the cricket match on the town green.

Agni Bay Corfu

Agni Bay

The Foodie Haven

The Vibe: Three tavernas, a pebble beach, and dozens of yachts anchored offshore.

The Sailor's Tip: This is famous for its shoreline dining. The tavernas (like Toula's) have private jetties. Call ahead to reserve a 'lazy line' for your yacht, and you can step off your stern straight onto the restaurant deck.

Why Go: For the most famous seafood lunch in the North Ionian.

Kalami Bay Corfu

Kalami

The Literary Bay

The Vibe: Peaceful, green, and steeped in history.

The Sailor's Tip: This was the home of Lawrence Durrell. You can anchor in the deep blue water and see the famous 'White House' (which is now a restaurant). It offers excellent protection from the NW wind.

Why Go: To see the real-life setting of 'The Durrells' TV show.
