The Corfu Blog

At Corfuhomefinders we are lucky enough to see some of Corfu's most beautiful dream properties, but the one we viewed yesterday morning really left us speechless. 

This is a photo of the village shop in the square at Lakones. A veritable treasure trove and a step into the past for visitors more used to Tesco or Sainsburys. 

We spent Thursday evening wandering in Corfu town. The highlight of the visit was a Baroque music concert given by students at the Music School of the Ionian University. 

"Greece appeals for volunteer holidaymakers to help regenerate tourism"

I do not apologise, I have stolen this from Grandma Angela's blog (although blog seems a very minor word for such a wonderful atmospheric article).

This is the first article I have seen for ages which has a factual, realistic account of what it is to be on holiday in Greece now.

Stilts at the salt flats - a romantic Corfu unknown to most holidaymakers. It really is like taking a walk back in time when you visit this remote part of the south east coast of Corfu.

Almost an hour and a half from our mountainside house, the remote south of the island is somewhere that we really do not often visit.

If you see Susan and I disappearing into a tree in the next few weeks, the chances are we will be picking mulberries. 

There isn't a vast amount to amuse us at the moment, frustration with the government (or non government), annoyance with very slanted way the foreign press are commenting on the situation here, and general European gloom.
