The Corfu Blog

Many of our clients ask us not only to find properties to buy, but also to make recommendations for properties for them to rent for their holidays.

I'm definitely never going to make a wildlife photographer, but believe me, on the lower branch on the left of the olive tree is an owl.

I always reckon that January is the most miserable month here in Corfu, we seem to enter the greyest, dreariest time of the year. 

One of the things I have always loved about Greece is the way Christmas doesn't end on Boxing Day. 

Just off to the kitchen to create something new with left-over turkey. The price to pay for having got one of our sons to bring an extra large one from the UK in their suitcase!

It's that time of year again, and I know I have blogged about this before, but it's only when it actually happens that I remember that I really must try to solve the problem.What am I on about? 

December. Winter Solstice and the shortest day.

According to our local informants the north west is on the up and up! New design-oriented bars and tavernas are opening up in Arillas and the neighbouring villages and resorts, and up-market clientele are booking villas overlooking the sunset for their Corfu holidays.

We have been moaning about the rain for the last couple of weeks (funny how we have already forgotten the wonderful late October/early November days) but today everything has turned around yet again.
