I wouldnt worry Tony, I am sure the beach will reappear, it certainly did last year as it was noticeably larger in September than in June.

Corfu has had two very stormy winters which is the flip side of our own very cold winters but things are likely to change back in the years to come.

Only 3 weeks to go!

Regards - we can't wait.
We're in celebratory mood as we've become 1st-time grandparents in the last few days - i know we're a bit young for it, at the tender age of 48! ;D

Hi all, my wife & I are off to the Athina hotel in SS in early October, any hints & tips on the hotel & the area would be appreciated, we have heard that the hotel catering is not as good as it should be, do we need take our travel kettle, we have ordered a seaview room with a balcony, will we get it??, we have been so disappointed in the past with Thomas Cook in other countries in the past, we hope that Thompsons will do better.
 Cheers folks. :D

Hi injebreck,
We stayed at the Athina 2008. They do not have kettles in the rooms. When you say you ordered a seaview room, do you mean you paid for it or was it just a request? If you paid the supplment for it then you will get it however if you simply requested it then it is not guaranteed.
Regarding the food, both breakfast and evening meal are waiter service. The breakfast are on the small side, the choice is pick one of the following: fruit,yogurt,cereal or egg on toast plus you get 2 slices of toast with marmalade or jam. With the evening meals you get a much better portion including choice of starter, main meal and dessert, my husband liked the evening meals. I am a vegetarian and I was able to request what I wanted for my evening meal if I did'nt fancy what was on the menu.
The Athina is a lovely friendly place, Olga on reception is very helpful, waiting staff brilliant, George the pool man come nightwatchman and Spiros who runs the bar is a great laugh,going to look in on Spiros in August. When we go to SS in August we are staying at the Tsaros apartments this time because we want to try self catering so we can try all the wonderful restaurants.
The pool at Athina is lovely and just beyond that and you are on the beach. The pool has a pool bar serving good value food and drinks and there are toilets just behind the pool bar. Safes are behind the reception.
If you need to know anything else then just ask.
Meant to say they have a small fridge in the room, sell water at reception[saves you carrying it about]. there is air conditioning but you have to pay for that.
