Corfu
Our Sunvil holiday was postponed until September this year, but we made it! Our trip was changed from Lefkas and Meganisi in May, to Corfu and Paxos in September, but that wasn’t a problem the sun was shining, and we were on our way at last.
Hippocrates said “everything in excess is opposed to nature”. Well, a little excess does seem to work for me!
The apartments are very clean and comfortable and as expected by Greek standards, a little sparse, but comfortable beds with a shower and toilets for your convenience (sorry)!
There are five restaurants to chose from and if you wish, a small boat will come at a set time to take you around the bay to Agni, a small village with two restaurants that provide boats to bring customers to their restaurant and return them home to the jetty later. A restaurant on the top of the hill called Dimitris’s has a small mini bus to take you up to the restaurant each evening, for you to look at the view of Kalami Bay by night.
Glyn’s Tip: Bring mosquito protection e.g. spray, plug-ins. A small torch is a bonus. Rubber shoes for walking on the pebbled/rocky beaches. DVDs for evening entertainment – there are very little or no English-speaking channels on the TV.
If lazing in the Greek sunshine isn’t for you, then try an excursion to Corfu Town either by car, local bus or boat – yes, boat from the beach of Kalami Bay each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday during the season at a cost of 25 euros. If you want to go to Corfu Town by local bus then check with your representative and walk through the Kalami Hotel to get to the main road for your bus.
A trip to Paxos and Anti Paxos visiting the Blue Caves can also be arranged on different days at a cost of 35 euros. Also, a trip to mainland Greece to visit Parga, Sivota and the Blue Lagoon is also available on Thursdays for 35 euros.
