The Corfu Blog

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.

With all the news in the UK at the moment about horse meat finding its way into beefburgers and ready-made lasagne, I find our local butcher's shop very reassuring. 

We have recently decided not to advertise any longer on the Rightmove International website. 

I am sure that lots of people already read this wonderful blog which is of particular interest to me as it extols the virtues of the area where I live.
