Corfu Weather Prospects April/May 2013

<< < (2/20) > >>

Dupnica:
I love Corfu out of season when it's quiet.I wonder if these early visitors are staying in hotels,apartments or villas.

Now that Easyjet are starting their flights in April it should prolong the Summer season in Corfu but it means the tavernas and restaurants will

have to open up people need somewhere to eat.

Lesley:
Well village life is always the same tourists or not so we also eat  (popular to anyone's belief) in the off season, if anyone needs to taste 'real' Greek food; then our little ole village can accommodate - food and rooms - however you will not find any 'specials on a chalkboard at 7 euros a throw -  we just hit the place and order the real 'okay what's cooked today' almost regardless of price  if its a special its got to be good........and I am so happy to know all these easyjet and ryan visitors are going to experience what I did when I first worked here actually  (started work in 1982) - our first guest were end of March (back in 1986 in a hillside village community in Kato Koriakiana nr Dassia .....so season going shorter/longer etc is a trend......do hope its gonna stay....... and for anyone coming for this years Easter crack those red eggs and enjoy.......

Sellsy:
Great topic Andy, I have wondered for a few years now if the Jet stream is ever going to behave and head back up over Iceland to give the Uk ( especially the north ) any chance of a decent summer. Fingers crossed for Northumberland in summer , as well as San Stef this spring ! Cheers.

Hi Lesley,

In April 1977 my sister went to Ipsos with Thomson and everything was open, the season in full swing.

Has the Corfu season got shorter over the years?

If so its a shame because the weather in Corfu in April is on average a lot better than the weather on the UK South Coast in July!

San Stef should open in early April not May, last year we enjoyed a lovely weekend in Corfu in late March and Kassiopi was buzzing, we had lunch at the Waves Taverna and the weather was perfect.

Why is the Corfu season so short???

Andy

Dupnica:
Because up until a couple of years ago you couldn't get a direct flight until May.
