Day 1: Corfu – Welcome Aboard

Your luxury Greek island cruise begins at the Old Port of Corfu, where you board Entre Cielos and settle into your cabin. Meet the crew and your fellow guests before enjoying the relaxed atmosphere aboard.
If time allows before embarkation, explore Corfu’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, where Venetian architecture, narrow lanes and inviting cafés provide a memorable introduction to the Ionian Islands.
Embarkation is at 17:00. If everyone is aboard and conditions allow, the captain may set sail towards Plataria. Your included Welcome Dinner offers an opportunity to get to know your fellow travellers.

Day 2: Sivota – Mourtos

Discover the green coastline and sheltered waters around Sivota and the Mourtos islands, off the Greek mainland. Olive-covered hills and wooded islets frame inviting bays, making this a lovely setting for swimming and relaxing.
Depending on conditions, explore the waters of the Blue Lagoon and the coastal scenery around Papanikolis Cave. Later, enjoy time ashore in Sivota, where waterfront cafés and tavernas overlook the harbour.
Optional excursion: Olive oil tasting in Plataria, subject to availability and at an additional cost.

Day 3: Parga

Arrive at Parga, a picturesque seaside town where colourful houses rise above a lively waterfront beneath a Venetian castle.
Wander through the narrow streets, browse local shops or walk up towards the castle for coastal views. Alternatively, find a waterfront café and enjoy the atmosphere at your own pace.
Depending on the anchorage and available berths, a water taxi may be required to reach shore. Any associated charge is payable locally.
Optional excursion: Wine tasting in Parga, subject to availability and at an additional cost.

Day 4: Antipaxos

The clear turquoise waters of Antipaxos are among the highlights of an Ionian Islands cruise. Spend the day enjoying beautiful bays around Voutoumi and Vrika, with time to swim, snorkel or simply relax on deck.
With its small vineyards, pale beaches and inviting sea, Antipaxos provides a peaceful setting to slow down and appreciate island life.
Any optional dinner ashore is payable separately.

Day 5: Paxos – Gaios

Continue to Paxos, an island of olive groves, sheltered coves and charming waterfront villages. Explore Gaios, its colourful main harbour, where narrow streets lead to small shops, cafés and traditional tavernas.
Enjoy a leisurely walk, sample local produce or settle beside the water to watch the boats come and go.
Optional excursion: Paxos island bus tour, subject to availability and at an additional cost.

Day 6: Lakka – Paxos

Discover Lakka, set around a sheltered bay at the northern tip of Paxos. Its olive-covered slopes and clear waters create an appealing backdrop for another relaxed day.
Enjoy swimming stops, admire the coastline or spend time exploring the village and its waterfront tavernas, depending on the day’s arrangements.
The gulet usually anchors in a nearby sheltered cove rather than berthing in Lakka harbour. Shore access depends on local conditions.

Day 7: Corfu – Old Town Exploration

Return to Corfu in the afternoon, with time to discover more of its historic streets, Venetian fortresses and elegant squares. Browse for local gifts, pause for a coffee or enjoy a final stroll through the Old Town.
Your cruise also includes a Captain’s Dinner, held on an evening selected to suit the itinerary—a fitting opportunity to celebrate your journey with fellow guests.

"We just returned from a week in Cappadocia Turkey. Diamond star Experience were really helpful and friendly throughout our experience with all aspects of the holiday. Our flight was delayed and I received contact from Oguzhan and Rica telling me that they had arrange later pick up from the airport when arriving in Turkey. Mustafa our driver was warm and friendly throughout our stay .The transfer and 3 day tours were fantastic , Our guide was really knowledgeable and looked after us while we toured this remarkable place The highlight was the Balloon ride in the morning a truly magical experience . I can not fault any part of the holiday and the service of Diamond Travel Experience . Easy to contact through what’s app anytime which was a great touch . I would strongly recommend Diamond star Experience for booking a holiday , We will def book again with them when returning to Turkey. Thanks and well done ! A truly wonderful Break" Mrs Wilson  - 21 Aug 2025

"A week's trip on Perla del Mar captained by Mustafa, with chef Dohan, and crew Cem, Emre and Meric turned out to be the best family holiday we had ever booked. Akin's recommendation of the boat was spot on. Dohan's menu and cooking was absolutely excellent. The crew went out of their way to assist us at every opportunity and their care and attention to the children on the trip was exemplary. There wasn't a single fault that on the whole trip, the transfers worked perfectly, the crew were there to greet us at Marmaris and led us through the alleys to the waterside where the amazing boat in front of us was to be ours for a week. We were all taken aback and realised that Mum's mad dream was coming to fruition. A holiday found by google, sold to us by Akin who took the trouble to explain everything turned out to be beyond the dreams of all of us. Canoeing in quiet coves, swimming and snorkelling to our hearts content then served with drinks and snacks before amazing meals and enjoying the trips between coves became the order of each day. I can firmly recommend this holiday to anyone. It was simply amazing." Christine - 25 May 2025

" We went to Diamond Star experience because they offer multi-centre holidays and had good ratings. We were in no way disappointed with what was organised. We said that we wanted a few days in Athens and then a week on a relatively quiet island. Akin made a proposal (Athens then Naxos) and then, when we agreed, organised everything. The Athens hotel was central and accessible to the main sites and to restaurants, and was of very good quality. The choice of Naxos for the island was equally good and we stayed in an excellent three star hotel on the edge of the town within easy reach of the beach and restaurants. All transfers were efficiently organised and even when there was a transport hiccup (our fault!) there was a phone call from the Athens back-up team within the hour to find out what had happened.
Thank you very much, Akin and staff, for a really enjoyable holiday and for service which can be easily be recommended.
