Paxos and Antipaxos day trip from Corfu: how long, what stops, how to book

Paxos and Antipaxos day trips usually leave Corfu Town, Benitses, Lefkimmi or Petriti, last about 10 hours and stop at the Blue Caves, Antipaxos and Gaios. We found no departure from Sidari, so from the north-west it is a long day.

By Cape Drastis editors · Updated

Short answer: book a Paxos and Antipaxos day cruise from Corfu Town or Benitses. They take around 10 hours (some 8 hours) and stop at the Blue Caves, Antipaxos (Voutoumi) and Gaios.

Frequently asked questions

Can I do Paxos from Sidari?

We found no departure from Sidari. Tours leave from Corfu Town, Benitses, Lefkimmi and Petriti, so from Sidari it is a long transfer first.

Is the Paxos trip worth it?

It is a full day on the water with swimming stops. For a shorter outing in the north-west, a boat from Sidari to Cape Drastis is easier.

What does it cost?

Sources show EUR 45 to 60 per person for the main cruises, and a EUR 20 port tax is reported on some trips. Check live prices and what is included.
