Last year we flew from EM with Jet2, absolutely fantastic, no problems whatsoever. This year went through the booking proceedure on Jet2, absolutely great UNTIL..for 4 adults and one toddler Β£100 in booking and debit card charges, so chaged to BMI Baby.
I know, no don't laugh, but at the time, great times, out at 06.50 back with return aircraft at 13.00, booking fees yes but not a rip-off like Jet2. Now out at 13.15 back at 19.25.As all airlines seem to be affected I thought that the problem maybe at the Greek end, maybe excessive landing charges between certain hours, I don't know. Just looked at Jet2 for 2013 and there is quite a price hike. Hopefully Easyjet will expand their services to Corfu, as got good flights in August and at a sensible price. Pity they pulled out of EM. Only 32 sleeps to Corfu

I've already posted this on the main Corfu message board, but as our main interest is Paleo, here goes just for us!!
For those that are regulars to Corfu, [and those of you that will be new to the island], I'm sure you will agree, the road maps of the island leave a bit to be desired, however, help is at hand from Stephan Jaskulowski whose hand finished map is great to have with you. At Β£4.99 + Β£2.00 p&p they are very good value and all profits go to the Agni Animal Welfare Fund.Stephan can be contacted by e-mail; - thecorfumap(at)ntlworld.comI've just received mine after a recommendation by another regular and am happy to pass that recommendation on.Only 32 sleeps to go View Topic: Corfu Map |

Update from yesterday (Tuesday) Day 8 and I have completed 109,518 and I am 60th out of 584 competitors :) I have now reached the Indian state of Bihar. I do wish I really was in India as the weather here in Bournemouth - cold and wet - can make it an effort to get out there and boost the steps. I went for a really long walk on Sunday and the weather up on the headland was warm but windy ..... when I got back I realised my nose was sunburnt and I look like Rudolph at the moment

Hi Sarah,
Check out the post from Kastrofal at 1.08pm in the following topic. "National Express do a direct route through to Manchester Airport for Β£25 return when bought online. As it's a direct route (after Newcastle, Park Lane and Middlesborough), it only take 3.5 hours so that is something else I will look into." Thought that it may be of help to you, perhaps negate an overnight stay. View Topic: Smartlynx |

The Euro notes and coins from one euro-zone county are legal tender in all the euro-zone countries that uses them.
If they are not then there's going to be a lot of unhappy Greeks who have shifted their Euros out of Greece into Germany and other euro-zone countries over the last three years.

We are already having a wonderful time just thinking of coming 'home' to Greece. Been a couple of years since and have missed it a lot. Been a long time since at Corfu too so will be lovely to go back and see another part of the Island. Very looking forward to it and sure we will love it no matter where we are. You can change the accommodation but the amazing people and scenery and food etc never changes. Love it.

I've got 75 euros left over from our trip at Easter which we bought here in the UK and they all start with X. Made me start to wonder where the Euros we buy in the UK come from and is there a chance when we buy them here for our trip in June, could we end up with Greek Euros?

The AI option suits us best this year due to daughter. Have done both AI and SC in last couple of years. I do like SC best as feel it is better for choice and the local area but simply put the AI saves us quite a bit of money and also means that the wee one still gets her kids pool, kids clubs, friends to play with (easier to make friends when everyone is in hotel more), ice cream, juice, food (if she doesn't like it we simply get more so better for getting her to try new things) etc etc. Lets face it our holidays are all more about her needs now than our own. Still do like to get out and about every day for a walk though and always try and have a few lunches and a few evenings where we leave the hotel and go out and try restaurants/bars in the local area. Add to that a couple of days at the beach too. Oh and don't forget we have a toddler walking with us so need be close to things for her wee legs. So the resort is important to us for that reason. I liked this hotel due to their facilities (and views for a wee wine on the balcony at night) and the proximity to the town/beach area so would be a shame to not go there.
Still, if need be then will have to and am open minded to where we go as long as the kids club is good. After all, Happy Child = Happy everyone!!!

[QUOTE=ElaineK] Bella Vista is well worth the climb Malcy - it definitely does what it says on the tin
I think you're right about the wading in, all the boats seem to moor offshore at Voutoumi - in fact I seem to recall that there's a line of buoys strung across the bay to indicate no boats beyond a certain point.[/QUOTE]
You are absolutely right Elaine (as usual
Cant believe it took us 20 years to finally go there - and all because we took a couple of friends with us and they persuaded us. It was their first visit to Paxos and they did more in 2 weeks than we have probably done over all our visits.
I am definitely into Paxos chill; eating, drinking and people watching
Malcy
You do need to moor offshore and swim/wade in. There were no buoys there in June but it is expected (and frowned upon if you dont) - its common sense and much fairer to other beach and water users not to have to negotiate boats and running outboards. You can, if its clear, drop off and pick up your passengers on the small 'jetty' at the northerly side of the beach. At least that way, only you get a soaking
Only 33 days 22 hrs 58 mins until we arrive (unless the Igoumenitsa ferry changes times)

When I said " Now why didn't I think of that Simon..yep if my case is on the carousel.. job done" thats what I meant.
So as far as I'm concerned you can sense what you like, but I wasn't being sarcastic, what I was saying is your correct because if my case was on the carousel it didn't matter where my tag was did it, ....didn't you notice the little Smiley like this at the end >>>

Hopefully it will be sorted out before we get there and if not then guess it will be an adventure being moved to a different hotel. Just got to make sure they pick a good one! Similar thing happened before to us in Egypt. They had overbooked the hotel we were due to stay in so moved us to the sister hotel right next door which was a star rating higher and we still got to use all the facilities at the original hotel we booked!

Just think of the weight saveing in your luggage when you just stick your Kindle in your pocket.
Bob[/QUOTE]
I am thinking about exactly that Bob, especially after seeing one at the weekend and realising just how small & lightweight they actually are. For the last couple of years, mainly due to all the charter airlines getting stingy with the included luggage allowance, I've only taken one book out with me and made use of the 'libraries' most accommodations & tourist offices offer. This has encouraged me to read types of book I might not have chosen otherwise.
I was thinking that with a Kindle I can still do that and also have more books I've actively chosen to hand.
Thank you to everyone for your replies.

Because Kalami is so small, would like to know what to do with our holiday money, its not like their is a bank or anything! [/QUOTE]
Correct, no bank, not even an ATM. There are three tourist offices in Kalami that offer currency exchange and you can also do exchange at reception at the A & A. The exchange rate on offer in Kalami is not always the same as in the larger resorts. We wouldn't drive or get the bus to another resort just to change money but if we are visiting one of the larger resorts we'd probably exchange whilst we were there.
Thank you for your kind words re my posts.

Someone educate me please.
I'm beginning to like the idea of having a Kindle, to read Sidney Larkin's book re Kalami for one. I was having a look on Amazon the other day and have been left somewhat confused about which of the 4 versions currently available would be right for me.
We don't have a wifi internet connection at home so would the basic model work or not?
Do I need to upgrade to a wifi connection or just buy one of the Kindles with inbuilt wifi?
There is a Kindle with a keyboard - what is that for?
There is the basic model then the Kindle touch then the keyboard model so if the basic model is not touch, does not have a keyboard and doesn't need to be connected to a PC how do you download to it/access books to download to it?
Can anyone help?

Hi Fletcher12
Did what you read say take a small amount of currency or to take your currency in small denominations - €5 & €10 notes rather than €50 & €100? There have been posts about difficulties with travellers cheques and the Greeks being reluctant to take cards. If you are going soon and usually take euros cash then I would stick with what you usually do. We are not going until September and are waiting to see what the situation is nearer that time.

And the on the boat scene at the beginning of the movie was shot in the Corfu channel, Kalami can be seen in the background.
We've had a couple of lunches (Three Brothers I think it was, sat on the verandah out the back) up at Afionas but not been up there in the evening so far. The views are lovely during the day, the sunset must be quite something.

Thanks for replying. I just noticed it last night and wondered what was going on. Good to know it's not planned to be permanent.
Just need to keep an eye on it and watch out for more reviews. Shall let you know if I hear anything in meantime as we are due to go before August. Especially with the Euro situation ongoing as well. Who knows what will all happen in Greece with that.

Arriving in Kassiopi on Saturday for 2 weeks, and a little concerned by reports advising not to bring your holiday money on a card, as Corfu ATMs may have no cash in them!!!
As we have already loaded a FairFX Mastercard with the bulk of our holiday Euros - we are obviously hoping this is an exaggeration. ![]() Anyone in Kassiopi at the moment can put our minds at ease!! Also - how many ATMs (Banks?) are there in Kassiopi? Cheers Phil

Hi
Is there anyone who has been in Sidari recently or lives around there who could tell me if the Corfu Panorma is open? We are due to go there soon and saw a review on trip adviser from 05/05 where they said that the hotel closed 6 days before they were due to go. Not sure if this is a temporary situation due to work being done/refurbishment not being finished or more serious issues. Just wondered is someone would be able to shed some light for me please?
In the meantime all eyes are on the Euro and the holiday countdown on my calendar!!
Thanks

A visit to that taverna is on my to do list this year, I've heard good reports and passed it last year. Can't remember the name, begins with P? The views are great.
Haven't seen dolphins recently, but they always seemed to follow the old ferry in the 70s, or is that just the romantic in me??

Hi all.
We were in Kalami 2 weeks ago stunning and great to see the locals clearing the beach, met some very nice people and walked miles along the coastline even saw the Agni Taverna! We hope to be settling in the area in 16 months so if anyone knows of any long term lease/rentals please let us know. Off to Amazon to look at the book looks great good luck with it. The Long and winding road is nearly at an end! View Topic: Kalami Book |

Elliemay, while I agree with you about Diellas being OK for toiletries and not being more expensive you have to remember that not everyone is that close to one of their branches. For instance, We live almost 15 miles from our nearest one so we stock up when we pass one when going to other places. As many people don't hire a car it would need a day trip and a lot of time to get the shopping so I do believe it is good advice to take a few with you if you are just going for a holiday.

Thanks All,
Thanks for all your info, very helpful. Decided to book a Taxi (booked with Alfa Taxis 56 Euros each way which works out at 11.25 each so not too bad really) to get on our way as quickly as possible, however would definitely try The Travel Corner in future if it is as quick as SusieB says. Thanks again all, only 3 weeks on Thursday till we go, not that we are counting or anything. Cheers, RWR

Hi,
My absolute favourites are Agni Taverna for a really special meal. Roumelis near Nisakki for brilliant meze's. Bavias just into Sidari, near Diellas supermarket for authentic Greek food and hospitality. Pizza Romano, also in Sidari near the green by the church. Again, lovely Greek cuisine, amazing pizzas and Greek hospitality. Must say though, that we eat regularly at the only taverna in our village, Mon Amour, or as known by the locals, Kokkinos. All the friends that we have taken there for a meal always want to go back. Say no more!!! ![]() View Topic: Restaurant Recommendations |

I am trying to get fit this summer and a friend has offered to give a Zuma Gold class once a week in Roda. She is fully qualified and has suggested the 'gold' class as I especially are not as fit and young as I used to be.
If you are interested please leave a message here and hopefully we can get this off the ground by the end of May. The price is 3 euro per 1 hour class, which will be on a Thursday morning at the Pegasus hotel.
Come one peepe, lets give it a go, after you can jump in the pool to cool off Anita p.s. I gave up smoking in November and have put on a few pounds, hence would like to shift some weight and am not a mad fan of the gym and love to dance, so thought this would be fun View Topic: Zumba Gold |

Hi there and it is the end of day three. I have now done 35,928 steps and I'm 77th out of 367 competitors. So my daily average is 11,976 steps a day. I have to do at least 10,000 steps a day to complete the challenge in the 6 weeks. I know from the last challenge I did that the weekends I tend to push up the steps - the highest being about 28,000 in a day ... my poor legs. On that challenge it was from Stockport to Bournemouth via London and I came in 4th, completing the challenge within 2 weeks instead of 4
So today I am walking through Shaanxi province of central China. This was the eastern end of the silk road and in 1556 suffered the most devastating earthquakes in history.
Feel free to chat or ask questions ... you don't need to sponsor me .. it would just be nice to know I aint talking to myself haha. View Topic: Catathon In Aid Of AAWF STARTS TODAY |

I have limited knowledge on this subject but I will respond with what I know. Most of the Agni Team have Greek bank accounts so don't really use travellers cheques. I do know that a couple of years ago we took the grandchildren to Aqualand for 5 days as a treat and were picked up from the airport late evening by the aqualand bus and taken to our rooms. The next day I got up and got the bus back into town leaving the others to enjoy Aqualand and then got a bus up to our house to pick up my car. Waiting at the same bus stop were an English couple who had brought trevellers cheques and has been unable to change them at Aqualand or the surrounding area so he had to get into town to change them at a bank which also had a charge. As it was time consuming and costly he didn't want to go back again so he withdrew the whole ammount and so still finished up carrying total holiday money around in cash in his back pocket
I really don't know if he had been misinformed or what but I know that personally We have not used travellers cheques for over ten years wherever we have been in the world and also we have not used cheques in the UK for about the same amount of time.
The only thing that always works in Corfu is cash so always keep some of this with you.

I asked about Euro TCs, same answer! I asked her why hasn't there been anything in the news about this - she didn't know. Anyone else heard of this?? Looks like we'll be taking an extra suitcase for the spending money!!

Well having read various news print today I got to thinking
The euro hasnt been the greatest thing to enhance the Greek economy I remeber the my local kafeneon in the village still had his prices in drachmas with the euro converted to equivalant price.
Everyone complained back then that the conversion rate looked bad, they had to accept it.
It was only when George, whose bar it was, did a refit on the bar that he took it down.(that was 3 years ago) that I think the locals accepted the euro was here to stay.
Well maybe the drachma may be back .... so go look where you put them.
In my heart I hope they dont lose the euro as the country isnt the only one thats got problems (wonder where my pesetas have gone) Wonder what others think?

But then we discovered Kalami- one look at that bay and you are drawn like a magnet!! All you have to do is chill and relax-simple The best 5 holidays we have ever had- a boat for the day- a car for 3 days- speedboat to Corfu town- walks to Agni,Koulura, etc Checking out whose on the big boats! Absolutley love it- and then eating your meals Shirley Valentine style at night- magical. The superb view from your balcony- brilliant

We've wanted to return ever since as we didn't get to do any of the things we planned.
Finally I have just booked to return next year and can't wait

Hi
Yes, I do drink the local water (although not that which comes directly from our sterna - but that's another story!). The water can be high in minerals, but then, it does depend upon the area you are in and the source of the water.
It is said that the high mineral content can result in upset stomachs, although I haven't had a problem (yet).
There is another saying locally - that once you have taken a drink of the local water in Corfu, you will be hooked on the island for life. So, that explains it, then

I heard on the BBC yesterday that the exchange rate is better than it has been for over 3 yrs so now is a good time to buy €.

I've just tried again and can now see 6 photos of new reception on their 'wall'.
I have been accepted as a 'friend' since my earlier attempt so I don't know if that has made the difference but I could see lot of other photos before, just not the reception ones. Perhaps it was that I just didn't wait long enough for them to load.
Anyway, I've seen them now and it looks stunning!

More about styling & creating body for me rather than actually drying my hair. I take my own travel hair dryer anyway as the ones the A & A provided were hard wired and I wanted more freedom of movement. I don't know whether they still are hard wired? Perhaps they are not, I haven't checked recently as I've got into the habit of taking my own.

[QUOTE=DAVID1]In Lakones there is Boulis restaurnt with stunning views over Paleokastritsa. It's traditional food similar to my first two choices but with the view!
David [/QUOTE] Hi Wereangels
I have to second David's recommendation above. Last year we were looking for somewhere in Lakones other than where the coach trips go (nothing against those establishments, just that we've been there, done that) and another site member recommended Boulis. We enjoyed our first lunch there so much we drove over from Kalami twice more during our fortnight.
We also like Elizabeth's at Doukades, could sit outside there all day watching life come through the square whilst we eat. One of the things we intended to do last year was go up there in the evening. We didn't manage to fit it in so it's still on the to do list. Two other places we tried for the first time last year and intend returning to were Mon Amour at Kavadades (inland from Sidari) where we had some really good rollo and the taverna at Imerolia which was on par with Taverna Agni price wise and was a lovely experience with the sea food, the setting & the view.
A few years ago we had a delicious, indulgent, sea food lunch at Akrogiali at St Georges North. It was a bit hair raising to get there but the lunch was worth it.
Almost forgot George's on Almyros beach. Another place we say we'll get to in the evening but haven't done yet. We didn't eat there last year but have had some delicious lunches there in previous years. Also on our do list are Zephyros at Almyros and Roummeli at Nissaki, both of which we've seen well recommended in the last couple of years but we haven't managed to get to either yet. So many possibilities but unfortunately there are only so many meals one can eat in two weeks.

It was on your recommendation Elaine and seeing this lovely photo that we went to Bella Vista. Well worth all those steps to see that view! Voutoumi is the beach I like the best on Anti Paxos less people and so so beautiful from Bella Vista! Malcy on reaching the top wipe your brow with your 'hat' and then take the stroll across the top passing through a little hamlet and grape vines. Its mainly all down hill and takes you back down to the beach with more stunning views. View Topic: Paxos "must-dos" |

Hi
Not long until we go now . We are staying in Kalami as usual, and for the first time have hired a car so that we can see something of the island. We love to eat well whilst on holiday, one of our favourites being Agni Taverna where we tend to eat regularly. So, having the car, has anyone any recommendations? It would be really helpful to know what you like about the places you recommend and also where to find them!!Many thanks. View Topic: Restaurant Recommendations |

Last year I was armed with all sorts of repellents, we had the Xpel mossie wipes (Poundland) in hand luggage which we used as soon as we landed it was a late flight landed at midnight so mossies were out in force!, sprayed apartment with Raid as soon as we arrrived and every evening before going out for dinner, spraying apartment and closing windows worked brilliantly.
Put plug ins in each room. We used lemon shower gel, soap etc. Avon skin so soft dry oil spray was lovely not only worked throughout the day and night but doubled up as a great moisturiser after all that sunbathing!
RESULT???
Not one bite!!!
Hope this helps x

will be sure to put some more taverna info on here there is one in particular i want to try at the far end of petra beach towards anaxos that is said to be very good, we did not get there last year.
think i may hold on a few more days before buying my euros rate has improved a couple of cents in the last week. i have a feeling credit cards will be even less welcome this year.
wondering if i'll be buying euros at all for september or next year?
car is booked up got a decent price from economycarrentals at Β£110 for 4 days and fully comp inc cdw etc with no excess payments or extras to pay when i get there. 2 weeks meet and greet parking for Β£65 never been so cheap!
guide books and maps all packed in the carry on, they are a joy to find for lesvos very few available and all pricey and none of them much use. best to buy when you get there. funnily enough our guide for kalymnos is totally out of print now as it was published in 1986 has some pictures of how kalymnos was then! saw it on amazon at Β£45 may flog it to them!!

Hi all,
I'm sure this question must have been asked before but the search turned up nothing. Apologies if it is a common question. We are arriving on 21st May and staying near Agni in a villa with an outdoor unheated pool. Can anyone advise if it is likely to be useable or will it still be too cold? We need to know whether to pack rash vests and thin wetsuits for the kids or if it will be fine or if it will be so cold that we may as well not bother with the pool. Thanks, Ian.
