Boat Hire
"Do you need a licence to rent a boat?" is one of the first asked questions.
And we get it. Most people don't have a licence but would love to rent a motorboat to go out for the day.
The short answer is: No, you don't need a license as long as you take one of the smaller boats.
And that is great as what is more fun than to go out and explore on your own, stop at small secluded beaches, find little coves and have the wind in your hair.
So where can you go?
There are many places to visit, for example, the beautiful north-east coast. And no! The island is too big to go around it in a day.
Here is an idea of what to do on a day with a boat. On the north-east coast, you can visit the "Blue Lagoon" in Pyrgi. Continue north for a swim in the beautiful blue sea in Barbati with its scenic mountains. You will then pass Nissaki, where you can swim into the underwater cave "Prospero's cell". Your next stop can be Agni, where you will find some of the best tavernas in Corfu.
In Kalami, once the home of Gerald Durrell, author of "My family and other animals". Here you can visit his family's house on Corfu in the early 1930s, now called "The White House".
When you pass the lovely harbour of Kouloura, you can see the famous Agnelli family's estate (owners of Fiat). Stop here or in Kerasia for a coffee.
You could go further if you only made a few stops, but for sure you enjoyed a lot of swimming and a lovely lunch. So slowly, it will be time to turn home with memories of an unforgettable day.
