Just got back
« on: August 05, 2020, 09:33:22 PM »
Arrived back home on Monday from 2weeks in the place we love .We left Gatwick on the 20th .Flight was under 3 hours .Everybody wore masks .Got to Corfu airport ,were not tested got luggage in 20 mins 👍.Used the TUI transfer coach everybody wore masks .Only 3 drop offs in Sidari then onto San Stef .Arrived at our home from home The Little Prince on its opening day .For the first 4 days we had the pool to ourselves but the second week things got busier .Everything was great as always .We spent a few days on the beach used the sun beds in front of Athina .We enjoyed lunches at Athina beach bar and Mango .Great evening meals at Little Prince,Zorbas ,Yiannis,Manthos ,Fantasea anD Yiannis Grill.Enjoyed many cocktails at Little Prince bar .Had a couple of walks up to Akrotiri .Had a hire car for 1 day and had a drive via Sidari down to Paleokastritsa .Would just like to say a big Thank You to everybody at The Little Prince for making a stay great ,Dimitris and Pipina and Team ,Mike ,Anna &Spiro and Yiannis .The transfer back .....picked up at little Prince then not to Sidari as normal but had a couple of pick ups in Roda .Several people on the the coach were not wearing face masks but as soon as we arrived at the airport they quickly put them on .One of those on the coach not wearing one was vaping on the coach !Corfu airport was great checked in at the new extension ,lovely and cool and plenty of seating ,didn’t have to queue for the loo as they now have have 2 blocks of toilets .Flight back was good not full the same as the one coming out .When we arrived at Gatwick the air crew announced to passengers to stay seated until the air bridge was in place ,as soon as the plane landed and was making its way to the terminal you could hear seatbelts being undone and as soon as it stopped people shot up ! The crew did say passengers would be disembarked row by row but everybody who was near the back of the plane shot forward so we didn’t stand a chance !Anyway apart from that little negative everything was GREAT 👍

Great review Chrissie.  My pet hate are the people that can't wait to get out their seats on the plane.  Ask yourself why?  The luggage is still being unloaded, passport control will still take forever and then the carousel takes half an hour to start.  Everybody just chill.   :)

Great read Chrissie. We back up everything in your post. We were there the same 2 weeks. Should have been in little prince. On 20th. But Tui cancelled our flight from Bristol. But managed to fly out with easyjet. We stayed in Peli and Maria's apartments. But everything you said we back up. San stefanos, airport, flight fantastic. We are so glad you had a great time. We probably saw you in little prince having a drink. We were always there, chilling with a drink at about 4.30. bliss! Watching the world go by.
