The islands of Paxos and Antipaxos may be small but their beauty is big and bold. You'll sail over from Parga to get to know these Ionian gems on this full day cruise. There'll be sea grottoes, a visit to a charming seaside town and coastal views by the bucket-load.

Leaving the port of Parga, we'll set sail onboard the Captain Hook into the open seas towards Antipaxos. It's the smaller of the two islands – it has just 120 residents – and its long stretches of white sand and Caribbean feel make it feel like it's one in a dozen. After some relaxing on deck and swimming, we'll hit the seas once more along the west coast, famous for the Blue Caves.

Grab the chance to swim inside one of these atmospheric sea grottoes before heading to Gaios, the capital Paxos. With its Venetian-style mansions facing the islet of St Nicholas, it's a charmer. You'll have free time to roam around its narrow lanes or have lunch overlooking the boats before returning to Parga.
