The Corfu Blog

We have been getting more enquiries than ever before about property in the south of Corfu. As Diana, our resident "southerner", will tell you, there are many advantages to the gentler, quieter south of the island. 

The other day I bought some paint and as usual when I got it home my other half told me it was the wrong paint. 

For the last couple of years easyJet flights to Corfu in early and late season have not been the bargains that they used to be.

After a day of storms, and another of mixed rain and sunshine, the combination of disappearing cloud and setting sun was truly magical last night.

The Greek Tourism minister has just announced that the Tourist Board will be promoting Greece as a year round destination, as if this is a great innovation.

After weeks of the most brilliant sunshine and warm temperatures - with thick fog either in the valleys (see photo) or on the mountaintops, we have finally had some rain.

Always recognizing the glory of a full sunset, the mountains of neighbouring Albania, seen here bathed in reflected light from the setting sun to the west, come a pretty close second.

No superlative would be too much to describe September in Corfu this year.

How about this one? Lakeside Villa really does have a lake at the bottom of the garden and no mosquitos either because the fish eat them!

The arrival of visitors, apart from encouraging us to finish all those little jobs around the house - patching up chipped paintwork, hemming the pinned-up curtains, etc. - also persuades us out of our working routine and onto the beach.
