If you're in search of glittering azure waters and a healthy dose of Greek culture then a boat trip to Antipaxos and Paxos from Corfu is a must-do. These islands might be small in terms of size, but they pack a punch with scenery and laidback Mediterranean feel.

From Corfu, we'll sail over to Antipaxos first, stopping at sea caves along the way. Then, your captain will drop anchor off the coast of Antipaxos, and you'll have time for a leisurely swim or just sit and relax on board.

Peace and quiet reigns over Paxos, even in the livelier town of Gaios, the island's capital. Here, you'll have some free time to choose a taverna for lunch, explore the town and its shops or more sunbathing and swimming – the ideal way to spend a day in the Greek islands.

Very long trip - 12 hours from pick up to drop off - so good value but long day. Caves stunning and we went right in, swimming area lovely and Paxos is beautiful. We had 2 hours there so wandered around shops and lanes rather than sitting and eating. Only negative was our awful transfer driver who refused to pick up at the designated reception and waited on the road - future customers from may miss the transfer - then when this was pointed out, he turned aggressive and hostile. I have reported

Unsafe transfer. Unsafe and overcrowded boat. Longer than advertised. No toilet roll or toilet seat. Had to sit on floor on boat.

Paxos is a beautiful place but what the Tui description does not include is how long the ferry ride is. To be very clear, this is a ferry ride and not a boat trip where you normally integrate with the crew and they describe the coast line etc. this is purely a trip to Paxos / Antipaxos and it takes 2 1/2 hours each way with only 2 hours on Paxos and a half hour swim break at Antipaxos.. it’s a long old trip on an old and uncomfortable boat for such a short time at your destination

The boat was over cramped. The music was ridiculously loud, I don't mind loud muisc, but I have to comment on our ears ringing the next day. People were allowed to smoke right next to us forcing us to breathe it in. A broadcast stated smoking is only allowed at the back, but then Staff walked past ignoring them as they blatantly smoked. The Blue Lagoon was also unenjoyably busy, with 4 other huge boats there at the same time. Overall, we were extremely disappointed with the day, awful value.

Overall it was good value for money. Paxos was lovely but felt we needed longer there as once we’d had something to eat there wasn’t much time to look around. There was no TUI rep on the boat or transfer coach and the pick up time changed to 15 minutes earlier which we didn’t realise at the time as we’d just happen to go and sit outside the hotel for a bit but the other elderly couple missed the pick up as the driver didn’t wait. We checked emails and text but didn’t think to check the app.

26/7 - pick up from hotel was on time, full coach to harbour. Boarded and was underway by 8.30am. Staff aboard attentive for over 150 guests. Drinks and snacks could be bought on board at reasonable prices. TUI advertised this trip 8-9 hours, however it is a total of 12.5 . Be prepared to spend a long time on the boat for just 2 hours in Paxos and just under an hour's swim in Antipaxos. Overall nice trip but time spent on bus/boat way too long for the amount of free time you got .
