Surely the taverna owners on the beach front whose livelihood is being threatened will have some names.I know there is a "do it tomorrow" culture in Greece life but there might be no tomorrow for their jobs if it carries on like this!!

Jimbo:
If you look at the Agios Gordios web page you will see that it's a problem down the entire west coast of Corfu.

Arrilas seems to be clear, as does Sidari, but given the tidal drift tends to be from north to south the headland probably protects it. There must be some vast seaweed beds out to sea.

Nuisance though it is, seaweed may indicate a healthy sea. Looks like this variety is called "Lobophora variegata." Posh or what?

This needs to be sorted out quickly. It will have damaging consequences for the village. Personally, I'd send Dimitris from Little Prince to Corfu Town to argue the case, together with Nikos from Athens Bar. No force on Earth could withstand them.

Woodman:
We spoke to Noula this morning about it and she confirmed that they're waiting for the authorities to do the work, which has been delayed due to the elections last week. Now that they're done, hopefully things will get started. She said she asked a group of restauranteurs last week including Dimitris at LP, but she was told that they couldn't do anything without the relevant paperwork. Hang in there everyone, and in the meantime, use the pools and the beach from Mango and Havana, it's completely clear there.

Dupnica:
 The beach side proprietors couldn't make much of an impression on that amount of seaweed it's gone beyond anything a wheelbarrow and shovel

 could tackle.It will be cleared eventually I'm sure, but in the meantime why don't all you people who book with Thomsons start complaining to them

 after all one of their main selling points for San Stefanos is the wide,sandy beach "one of the best in Corfu" they say.Do they know that the beautiful

 golden sand is covered in piles of smelly seaweed.They bring thousands of people to the village and to other parts of Corfu every year,do you think

 they might have any influence with the "powers that be"?.
 
 Please don't let anything put you off visiting the restaurants and tavernas in the old part of the village,you can walk up the road or on the beach

 behind the heaps of seaweed,they need your support more than ever.
