Hello all.  Just a quick update as my wife and I have been here a week now.  First of all I must mention the apartments that we are in, Fedra Mare.  They are fabulous, nipping clean, lovely pool area, unbelievably quiet, the hosts are professional and the group of guests staying here are all lovely and we all get along.
It has already been mentioned on this board but here we go again;
CLOSED - Nafsika, Thomas Bay, Acabar, Athens Bar, 180°.
The beach is relatively full throughout the day and Waves and Manthos are doing a roaring trade at lunchtime.  The Tavernas/restaurants are mostly full on an evening.  The bars such as Prince Bar, Star Bar and Condor are all busy.  Kamini, Aquarius, El Greco, Barras, 3 W and Bar 38 are all "ticking along nicely".  Prices are more or less the same as last year.  Most if not all owners of said establishments are pleasantly surprised of takings as they were worried at the beginning of the season.  The flight and airport experience was a breeze.  We both feel more safe here than we do at home especially as there has been a rise in covid cases in the North East.
Finally the weather ........... has been absolutely fantastic with brilliant sunshine every day with temperatures of 31°. However there is a thunderstorm predicted for Thursday night into the early hours of Friday and then bright sunshine again.  Take care everyone and stay safe.

It was on the BBC news last night, might have been the local Yorkshire news, but main news this morning. Not good for us or our family there either.

Don't steal our sunshine! We are coming out Monday (Bojo -willing!) although I must admit I can't get excited yet as I am still convinced it will go boobs-up at the last minute!! I think I will get excited when the wheels touch down on the tarmac at Corfu airport! Thanks for the report-it helps us decide where we will go to eat  each night

Sorry about the news Rod, do hope this does not impact you too much, but thought it best you knew. It does not seem (to me) too bad. Enjoy!

I think we will all be on lockdown soon, the way things are going...
