Trips out and about

[IrisG]

Oh, I'm glad to hear someone else didn't enjoy the buffet lunch!
We couldn't eat a thing from it, but everyone else at the restaurant with us was filling their plates with relish.
The other diners were mostly German, though.
The discomfort we felt was in Saranda in the last hour or so before the return boat. We had taken our Kindles to read, but were not happy bringing them out in public, we really did feel intimidated.
We found a pub instead, so smiles all round.

 The queue for the one ladies loo wasn't much fun either was it Iris?

[Jacksi]

Thank you all for these ideas they are brilliant.   
Some people tell us that Corfu Town is a dump so we didnt fancy going but others are now telling us that its really nice, especially the old town area.   We did like Rhodes old town and are now wondering if Corfu old town matches up to this. 

We will definitely be doing Palo on the boat and have to decide on which others to do!!

Two forts, Venetian buildings, excellent museums.

Anybody who says Kerkira is a dump is either blind, stupid, ignorant or all three!

[Gavlah1973]

Who the hell told you it was a dump?!

Idiots

[Lesley]

Certainly not a dump - its a UNESCO site and has the only Asian Art Museum throughout Greece, then you have the wonderful gardens, bandstands, 2 fortresses, beautiful Venetian buildings, the Liston area, St Spyridon's Church etc etc definitely worth a visit.  Parking can be a nightmare so take the coach trip......

[Jacksi]

Thanks for clearing all this up - we will definitely take a visit there then, my husband loves historical buildings, etc.

As I said earlier, the boat trip is nice because you go right down the east coast under the shadow of Mount Pantokrator, dock in the Old Harbour, which is right next to the forts, and it's a 2 minute walk into the old town. Much nicer than the bus ride. You get three hours in the town. After the idleness of Ag Stef it seems very busy.

Oh - and by the way - we might get a Greek night at Pave. Steve tells me that there is a bouzouki player in Hull!

[Lesley]

or as Jimbo says the boat trip ........

[Jacksi]

Oh Jimbo let us know when/if this is going to happen at Pave!!!!  Sounds brilliant - just hope we are not away when its on!!!

[Jimbo]

Fret not, Jacksi - you shall be the first to know!

[tonyco1]

Will that be with Jimbo Tours ??

[Jimbo]

Always the best. Very expensive for out-of-towners, though.

Up the Tigers.

[tonyco1]

Well I'm not from Tiger country - but I do like them....

Has anyone done the Paxos/Parga trip? If so could you tell me approx how long do you get on Parga itself?Had a lovely holiday there this year and met some great people who owned and worked in the town and would love to call in and say hello to them if we did the trip when we "return home"! to San Stefanos next August.
