Your first visit to corfu

<< < (2/4) > >>

Richard/Jackie/Nathan:
Mine was 1991 with my ex wife. Wasn't much there then and it was at the start of the season. Back then used to spend my time eating and drinking in the Casablanca (now a supermarket). Had some great nights when the power went out and we had to drink by candlelight.

I now keep returning with my new wife and son and they are totally in love with the place too.

We spent our honeymoon at the hotel in Crete that the guy jumped from. In bad taste I know but if the food and drink was as bad as when we went I'm not suprised he jumped!

I made my first visit to Corfu and Greece in the early nineties after many years visiting the Spanish islands.
Since then I have visited the vast majority of Greek Islands including at least one trip a year to corfu.
I started by visiting the Costas Golden Beach in St George North.It was B&B then which is the type of accommodation we like .As a major part of our holiday is eating out in the local Tavernas .We went there for 2 years running and then it went Half Board.Time to move on.We had found San Stefanos during a days sightseeing and thought lets try there.We picked the Thomas Bay as it was B&B in those days.This lasted for 3 year and it went Half Board.Time to move again. Next stop the Romanza.We had discovered this one day when we walked up from the beach and stopped for refreshments.We have visited the Romanza every year since and tomorrow will be our 10th visit and hopefully many more to come.That is unless it goes half board.

Our first visit to Corfu was to Gouvia in 2002, straight away we loved the place and the wonderful Taverna Nights, we went to Gouvia 3 years running then decided to try other Greek Islands.

Compared to Corfu all the other Greek Islands seemed a bit of a disappointment, between 2004-2007 we went to Kos, Rhodes, Samos, Crete, Lefkas and Parga but none could quite match that Corfu magic.

In 2008 we decided to go back to Corfu and Gill started reading things about this place called San Steph on the North West coast, it sounded like Gouvia so we booked it.

The rest as they say is history!

First visit was to Sidari when I was 25! (ie 30 years ago!)
It was a lovely peaceful, quiet village and I couldn't believe it when I visited it again ten years ago when I went to Pelekas and stayed at the Yaliscari Palace, mentioned earlier..
We hired a scooter for the day and drove up to Sidari.
The following year we found SS and have been there every year since. Kids went every summer and daughter still comes with us to this day.
Two years ago we went to Kos and soooooooo regretted it. Only five weeks til I get back!

Our first visit to Corfu was 1986 to the park hotel Gouvia.
On arrival at airport you got of the plane and walked into airport only one carasel but it was faster then than now as not many planes went to corfu.
Spent first night drinking in taverna we were three couples and each time we ordered a round of drinks we say pay now they say no pay later at the end of the night we say how much we owe they say some silly figure that did not seam nowhere neer enough so we payed up very happy.
Next day went down into gouvia looked in shops if you picked anything up to look at they would say you like you take come back and pay tommorow.
Gouvia in them days had oppen sewers and all the rubbish was just put out on the streets there were no footpaths.and it was very smelly all over we say not coming to corfu again.
On departure we got into deprture at corfu airport in them days it was only a tin shed with one or two bench seats that looked like some one had thrown out.
we had a delay of a few hours and at night time in corfu airport there was nothing to eat or drink.
we had to walk out to the plane we say not coming to corfu again and then we found san stef a few years later and have gone back there six or seven times stayed at athina or beech appartments and enjoyed every minute of it especialy our meals at two stars mostly
