The Corfu Blog
This blog is the result of many years of living in Corfu. When we started the blog back in 2008, we pondered on titles. ‘Real life in Corfu’ was a possibility until someone said they couldn’t think of anywhere further away from real life than Corfu and suggested that maybe it should be called 'Fantasy Island!'
It's certainly true that Corfu seems to have its own set of rules for life, and none of them bear any resemblance to the rest of the world!
So here it is - The Corfu Blog - a hotchpotch of thoughts, articles, business, opinions and photos, for those who are interested in life in Corfu.

Airbnb owners, be very careful
Wed, 15th Feb 2017Most of the owners I speak to have high praise for Airbnb, and I would have agreed until last summer opened my eyes to the pitfalls of their system and made me wonder how many people are aware of this.
Snow and Ice!
Tue, 10th Jan 2017Probably the coldest winter that many of us can remember has arrived with a vengeance in Greece. As often happens Corfu - right over on the west - has not suffered as badly as other parts of the country, but it has still been amazingly cold.
Friday Morning in Corfu
Sat, 17th Sep 2016At times like this it is so obvious why we love living in Corfu. With half an hour to spare, on our way to show land to some Russian clients, we had time for a coffee in Kouloura.
Full moon with a difference
Fri, 22nd Jul 2016On my way to bed last night, I took a last look at the moon from our upstairs terrace. The scattered clouds obscuring the bright light created this wonderful effect. Lovely summer evenings - one of the very best parts of living in Corfu!
