The Corfu Blog

Summer has arrived with a vengeance and the marching bands and school kids were really suffering under the hot sun as they paraded through Corfu on Sunday morning dressed in their long-sleeved uniforms.

Not this time though! To celebrate our first sale to a client from a co-operating estate agent in Thessaloniki.

There are some days when estate agency is just another job, loads of paperwork, hours on the computer etc. and then there are other 'isn't this a great job' days.

Visiting this area in the hills above Nissaki on the north east coast on Saturday to take some photographs of a plot of land we have for sale.

We are marketing a really lovely villa on the outskirts of Corfu Town - with a riverside setting (how rare is that in Corfu?) and potential to moor a boat and be at sea in just a few minutes.

How nice to see something positive, especially in terms of food. For so long the Greek hotel breakfast was dry toast, plastic cheese and ham, and a slice of cake. 

'Pothole Problem' is one of today's headlines on Sky News. Isn't it cheering to see that we are not the only ones suffering this blight of potenetial car and tyre wreckers!

After all that rain how about reminding ourselves that this is Corfu in the spring. Photo taken this morning at Alonaki Beach House on the west coast.

Here is another link for daily Greek news in English, just begun by one of the country's main daily newspapers Eleftherotypia. 

Whilst being shown this little house above Paleokastritsa we met the owner, and got talking about this and that, as you do.
