Step aboard at the Mayor’s steps in Garitsa Bay as the light thins and the Ionian Sea begins to cool. The boat slips away from the Old Fortress; city walls slide past like pages, and the Kanoni peninsula leans into the dusk. A glass of wine or a soft drink arrives as the harbor recedes and the outline of Pontikonisi (Mouse Island) and the white Vlachernas Monastery grow into silhouette.

Step aboard at the Mayor’s steps in Garitsa Bay as the light thins and the Ionian Sea begins to cool. The boat slips away from the Old Fortress; city walls slide past like pages, and the Kanoni peninsula leans into the dusk. A glass of wine or a soft drink arrives as the harbor recedes and the outline of Pontikonisi (Mouse Island) and the white Vlachernas Monastery grow into silhouette.
Pontikonisi is small but storied—a green islet crowned by a Byzantine chapel, its stones shaped by the same limestone and marine action that carved Corfu’s cliffs. The cruise threads past Venetian fortifications and the Neoclassical sweep of Mon Repos, giving a compact lesson in Corfu’s layered history: Byzantine, Venetian and British influences visible from the water. The sea here has a habit of urging passengers forward, the breeze nudging jackets and conversation alike.
Practicalities are straightforward: the scheduled trip is 60 minutes, departing around 19:00 with a required check-in at 18:40 at Mayor’s Stairway Dock (Leof. Dimokratias 7). A light jacket helps—even warm evenings turn brisk on deck—closed-toe shoes make boarding easier, and cameras set to low-light modes capture the colors after sunset. The tour is family-friendly, but infants must sit on laps; the captain may alter timing for weather. Expect gentle seas most nights, but if winds pick up the route or timing can change. Bring ID for boarding and plan transport back to Corfu Town; Garitsa Bay returns you close to restaurants and the old town’s nightlife.
