Hi Hikerroeland and welcome to this site. Have a look at this site. It covers both boat trips and boat hire from San Stefanos.

We hired a speedboat for half a day from Noula/ San Stef travel, never done it before but really worthwhile we saw so much more around different headlands. You can also book to go to Ericousa it's more of a day trip but a lovely island to visit, I wasn't too keen on Mathraki (we did the double trip) there are other types of trips you can book too. There is a really detailed road map available from Stefan Jaskulowski which I got from the Agni website, he personally made himself by walking around Corfu I bought one last year and he was offering BOGOF.I don't know if he is doing the same offer this year.If you go to this website you should be able to get one, you won't be disapointed http://www.agni-animal-welfare-fund.com/Shop/maps.asp. Hope this helps you out

You can book Ericousa with Sn Stefanos travel as per Dons link above.
Tony the map is great and I think is hand drawn as well and everyone who has bought it say it is the best Corfu map. He has taken such great care making the map and some of the proceeds go towards the Agni animals fund. :)

Yes I order the map yesterday but I having heard from mapman yet :(

Once Steven has received your order in the post he will despatch the map to you. I think mine took less than a wek.

I ordered one as well - on the website - just waiting to hear the next step now.

Steven also personally signs each map he sends out.

Stefan will contact you by email just send him a cheque and when he receives it he will post map out to you all personally signed as JulesT said. The boat for Ericousa goes from SS harbour Wed and Sat if I remember rightly, but there is the ordinary ferry that goes every day for the people who live on the said islands.The boat will call at Sidari as you travel along there are lovely views of the coastline and then it travels out to sea. Just one thing to remember the sea can get quite choppy so on some occasions due to the weather the trip may be cancelled but you will be offered another day.Don't forget your wristbands if you are sea sick like me.
-
As Joan says the sea can get a bit rough all of a sudden. That is the reason why we no longer go on boat trips as I suffer terribly with sea sickness even with taking remedies etc.

Thank everyone for the great information and so fast too

I take 2 x Sea sick pills and they work fine - still feel a little queasy - but not actually sick in rough weather.
Without the pills I chuck up looking at a boat!!

I'm the same but since using wristbands I have not been sick or felt queasy so when we had the boat last year I wore them all the time and was fine.I've used these for about 18 years now I make sure I leave them on for about an hour after the trip just to stop any other after effects like motion. The only drawback is crinkly wrists. :D
-
Joan what kind of wristbands is that? I never heard of that, I am wondering if they would have them here in Belgium?

Try this http://www.biobands.com/motionsickness.htm

Alternatively www.force4.co.uk/c/88/Seasickness-Remedies.html
Or www.OutdoorGB.com
-
Or even any chemist (I got mine from Boots here in the UK)
-
Alternatively www.force4.co.uk/c/88/Seasickness-Remedies.html
Or www.OutdoorGB.com
Seems almost impossible that it will work - but it's worth a try.
I am definately not a good sailor!!

I used these bands once when I went on a ferry to France and all I could think about was will they work. I felt queasy but wasn't actually sick but I still didn't like the experience just because it was still in my head .

Thank you voor the very interesting information everyone :)

Have only just logged on I see people have answered your question. I did get mine from Boots the chemist in the UK I paid about £8 all those years ago but I think they are a lot cheaper now. They work on the pulse points on your wrists called the Nei-Kuan points the buttons on the bands press on these points and somehow blocks the terrible feeling of nausea.I was desperately sick crossing the channel so the next time I went I used these and they were brilliant. Have the faith.. :D
-
Hi hikerroeland, just been on the Boots website and their seabands are still quite pricey at £7.82 plus postage. The other website www.force4 shows the same ones that I have and seems to be the better at £4.95 although they too charge for delivery UK £3.95 for small jiffy bags. It goes by weight for Europe so I would think it's a similar price. It might be worth enlarging the picture on the site and printing it off and enquiring at your larger pharmacies, I'm sure someone must sell them, let me know how you get on.
Regards Joan

If not you may even be able to buy them at the airport you are travelling from as well.

Could always try STUGERON travel sickness pills. available from Boots. Have always found them good and i am a bad traveller especially on boats but can usually travel ok with these.

I always doubt these things - but I may now give it a go!!

Hi Stressed see you are in the Theodosia this year will probably pass you on the way to the Three Ws leave some beer for us... ;D
Have heard that Stugeron is good but knowing me I'd probably chuck them up I'd never make a sailor. I'm sticking with the bands they do it for me. ;D

Had no problems on Thomson Celebration! Will stick to that or larger for my seabound excursions ???

We did a Carribean Cruise on the Costa Atlantica, one of the Flagships - nice and big - I never chucked up once.
I took a couple of sea sick pills the first few days - then it was ok.
I even chuck up on a smooth mill-pond like channel crossing usually, I am a terrible sailor.
The cruise ships are OK.

I must be the only one who felt seasick on the Victory....and that was in dry dock...pathetic.

Back to the bands again just got the Kleeneze catalogue and they have a pack of two for £3, don't know what the quality of the knit is and whether they are tight enough, but might be worth a look at.

Just to be on the safe side I will remain on terra firma and not risk it at all. :)

Tight enough? Do they work like a tourniquet?
Noooooooo they just strangle your wrists.
They work on accupressure points on the underside of your wrist where your pulse is.... now put two fingers ON no comments please... on your pulse that's where the button on the band rests and that's how they work easy peasy never quesy
-
Can't say i'd rely on the kleeneeze ones... have boughht a pedometer from them recently that doesn't work and a shredder that i had to send back. I always get something cos i feel sorry for the rep... but quality of stuff seems inferiior and its usually more expensive! Hi there joan... where are you staying then.. and when ?
