Lichnos Beach*** Parga

Great day arrived early and booked the ferry, streamlined process and bugger me if it cost less than the Wadi Halfa ferry.

Okay now picture this, because we are...

Well we've had four days in Corfu and we leave tomorrow. Our ferry to Brindisi leaves from Igoumenitsa at 1am on Monday morning so we have all day in Corfu of we want it but I’m thinking we’ll catch a ferry in the morning and see what Igoumenitsa has to offer.

So we arrived in Corfu on Wednesday and picked up a hire car that...

Maar je kunt ook andere prachtige vissen kopen en dat doen we dan ook. De viswinkeltjes en vissen zien er veel beter uit da...
