Overview & Itinerary Hotels/Cruise Dates

Combining a week Ionian Gulet cruise with a 7 night stay in one of the luxury hotel in Corfu or Zante makes for a truly relaxing holiday. Our Gulet cruise & stay holidays are becoming increasingly popular as more and more people enjoy this wonderful holiday experience. Taking a cruise on a traditional Gulet is a wonderful way of exploring the coast of the Ionian Islands. You can visit some towns and tiny villages, unspoiled bays and charming islands, many of which can only be accessed from the sea. You also have the opportunity to swim in the clear waters of the Mediterranean sea and away from the crowds.

Life on board is unhurried and relaxed and a gulet cruise is a time for making new friends and enjoying the opportunity to spend time with old ones. Soak up the sun and enjoy the relaxed pace of life on board, sharing meals al fresco and lazy evenings at sea or in harbour. Many of our guests decide that one week in Greek Island is simply not enough, and choose to spend the week after their gulet cruise staying in one of our charming Islands. This makes for a great holiday combination.

We have put together some of the most popular gulet cruise and stay combinations, offering excellent 4 to 5* hotels BB or All-inclusive in Town centre or on the beach, convenient private transfers between the gulet cruise and the airport. You can swap around the order and spend a week in a hotel first and then take a Gulet cruise.

Zante Gulet Cruise

Kerkyra (Corfu Old Town)

The UNESCO World Heritage town of Kerkyra (Corfu Old Town) is full of cultural heritage from its days under Venetian, French and British rule. From architecture to traditions, towering fortresses to the narrow medieval streets, you can feel the multi-layers of Corfu island history.

You can find this in the Mourtos and Sivota Islands, south of Corfu, where we sail and stop to marvel at some of the island best natural highlights. This includes the striking Papanikolis Cave and the famed Blue Lagoon Bay, where you can swim in the iridescent blue waters.
