About Us
The Greek word Philoxenia means “friend to a stranger” and is a cultural law expressing generosity and courtesy to strangers. This hospitality has its roots in Ancient Greece where the god Zeus, known as Zeus Xenios, was a protector of travelers.
The Ancient Greeks were also known for their strong connection to the sea, and the Phaeacians, famous for their seamanship, were said to be relatives of the gods. The Phaeacians were expelled from their homeland and settled on the island of Scheria, which according to Thucydides is todays “Koryfo” or Corfu, and their reputation for seamanship has endured through the centuries, symbolized by the emblem of Corfu town, “Apidalos naus,” meaning the ship without a rudder.
We are proud to shape an experience which combines two of the most important features of the Greek civilization, philoxenia, and the love for the sea and is offered to you under the base of quality and joy.
Departure Location
The cruise is departing from the old port of Corfu. On request the location may vary for private cruises according to arrangement.
