Corfu With Company.
This is a top pick! ... haircuts even though it was siesta time. My cut is a bit strange but it will grow! We then wandered around the old Corfu Town which is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, enjoying the very different architecture to other parts of Greece. Like ...
Cruzin'
Hello Friends!!! I'm torn between it being a relief and a disappointment that I now speak English freely among all the other English-speaking folks. (I'm on the cruise.) While there are over 40 countries represented by visitors, America absolutely took ...
Greek Salad (lots)
... . The south west in particular we were told to avoid so concentrated on the areas just to the south and west of Corfu town. I hadn’t quite realized, but the island is only 10km wide at some points. After navigating through the ...
The last island :(.....
So after three week of Island hopping it has come to an end on Corfu. But we went out with a bang. We stayed a couple nights at the Pink Palace a place where Renee stayed a couple years ago. The pink palace is alot of plate smashing, Ouzo drinking and ...
Slow down you’re moving too fast!
We had a ball driving around Corfu. And probably the best, most exhilarating part was when we got left behind on the run home and ended up doing a tiki tour all around the port trying to find the depot to return our 4 wheel vehicles. We thought it was ...

Corfu-yea!
From Ios I took a ferry to Athens then an overnight bus to Corfu. Corfu is absolutely gorgeous, much greener and lusher than the Cycladic islands. The hostel I'm staying in, the Pink Palace, is fantastic. It's more like a giant ...

Corfu
... blogs from along the way to bring you up to date. Our last blog was Katakolon, and our next port of call was Corfu. The island was attractive from the ship but proceeding ashore gave us a broad perspective of graffiti and more graffiti. Perhaps because ...
Cruising the Mediterranean Part 1
... until it hurt. Bundled into taxi (4 of us squashed in the back with no seat belts does not seem to worry the police in Italy, Greece, New York or in fact any where except NZ) to drive to the stunning village of Oia, a Greek village characterized by narrow ...
Island Time in Corfu
... I thought this town was bigger than it is – or maybe I'm just used to walking for umpteen miles a day). The coast along Corfu town is not beachy – you have to go 30 minutes outside of town for that – but it is that baby blue water ...
The Boat to Italy
We had a whole day of just hanging around Corfu town so we went for some breakfast and then picked up our laundry and popped back to the hotel to pack our bags. The weather is not so good today raining and a little cloudy so for the most part of the ...

Checking out Corfu
... ; which it was if you looked at the water but not if you also looked at the land. We finally went to the old town of Corfu where we had been in the morning. We had the different features of the various styles of architecture pointed out. The balconies in ...

... Athens tonight so that means more train rides until around 9:30pm tonight. The mountains are fucking gorgeous here as well. Okay, about Corfu- we arrived at around 8:30am with empty stomachs and high hopes for the Pink Palace. A car took us about half an ...
A quick look at Corfu Island
... could walk from the ship to the cruise terminal but it was too far to walk from the ship into the centre of town in the time we have in port. Corfu is a much greener island than we’ve seen futher south (eg Santorini) so had a different feel to ...
The Land of the Phaecians
