Kernowfox - You may be right. But the euro is strengthening as the economy shows signs of improvement. Much depends upon the French elections. The fact is that everybody is fed up with austerity and seemingly would rather have chaos.
Nobody has an inkling of what's going to happen over the next few years. It's a shambolic mess. What's currently certain is the prices are going to go up a lot. Some computer components I needed are 25% more expensive than they were a year ago.
As far as Athina goes - Thomson have been ripping-off owners in the village for years, so it's no major surprise that Athina have looked elsewhere. I suspect that the Eastern Europeans are not so demanding in terms of standards, so that's good for profitability. But All Inclusive is, I think, bad for the village, particularly the tavernas. I heard on the radio this morning that there is a massive trend towards AI in the tourist industry. Personally, when the bus pulls in to those enclaves on the outskirts of Corfu Town, I feel a deep sense of depression - they're like an open prison.
