Will I know of the following so far for summer 2011, some still with the T.Ops but also have their own rooms on allocation if booked in advance as follows:-

www.vickypoolapartments.com he will a have a studio for 2 persons and a 2 bed apt for 2-4 persons (this would be new block for the 2 bed apt) summer 2011 as indie booking.
www.kapetanioscorfu.com he will have a 1 x studio for 3 persons, a 2 bed apt for 4-5 persons and a 1 bed studio/apt for 2 persons.
Both of these in years past have been with Thomas Cook but I do know the owners now have a few rooms of their own to book indie.  Then of course all the others you will know about via SS travel and others sites available, but these are 2 new ones to consider for summer 2011 if anyone can get cheap flights etc........

Some of these Tour Operators are killing the goose that laid the golden egg!
I hope all the locals survive the next few seasons ok!

Kapetanios daughter will email you back with all the info for summer 2011.  They are still working with Thomas Cook but have opened their options by also doing indie booking as well and keeping a few rooms for their own customers who would like a bit more flexibility.  Good idea I believe  :)

I wish some of the others would do some independent as well Lesley. I am sure they would still get enough people and make more money at the same time.

There are a few more now considering this and you can find on their web pages and also some links from www.corfuselections.com into some indie options for both this summer and next 2011.  ;)

they would do very well if they include transfers in the price even if it costs a bit more as that is the thing that puts some people off

Am not sure on the logistics/legal/insurance side for transfers to be included (maybe someone on site might know). ???  My understanding is they (the owners) would have to pay someone (taxi/minibus/coach company)for doing the transfer to/from airport or port, I don't believe you can just turn up in a private car and take passengers from airport to your accommodation.  However looking at costs it could be cheaper or just as competetive to rent car from airport from a local car hire company and then have the car for a few days for not much more money than a taxi transfer with the additional extra of having the car for a few days?

All this is very true, people would rather do independant, but without the hassle of Transfer planning.
So locals doing an inclusive deal is very attractive!
Then all you need to worry over is finding a cheap flight!
