Glad you had a great time have a safe journey home.
Espresso Martinis great choice one of my favourites.
 ;D
Evertonendo, if you get to the harbour end of the village and fancy an espresso martini then try Andreas at Manthos, they were the best we had there. Either after a meal if you eat there or you can go for drinks once the busy evening meal service has finished.

Hi all. Arrived yesterday from Manchester with Jet2.
Checking in was efficient as they dealt with all the paperwork. Security however was a nightmare and took far longer than check in to get through. About an hour.
Departure delayed by an hour, for the pilot to finish his breakfast probably!!

Corfu Passport Control very smooth. Didn't see any random testing going on. Whether that is due to the numbers now arriving, is pure speculation on my part.
Met by San Stefanos Travel with a minibus and 4 very welcome bottles of water. Just over an hour later, we were 'home'. Why did we ever leave?

Spent the afternoon catching up with familiar faces and reaquainting ourselves with the cuisine.
Cocktails at 3W, followed by dinner at Little Prince.

Spent day relaxing today and recharging the batteries. Tomorrow is a feast day in Corfu (bit like a bank holiday for us), Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Name Day. So expecting lots of locals and families to be out and about this weekend.

Yammas, all

Forgot to mention that we also called into the surgery to book our test for the return home. Wanted an appointment as early in the day as possible.

Interesting report Natman, seems there are many variables at the airports at present and allowing extra time is key. Enjoy your hols

Hi
We also arrived on Friday 13th from Manchester with TUI.
We bought fastrak tickets for security (£5 each) and were through in minutes.
The resort is much busier than last year.
We walked from our apartment at Paralia to Manthos on Saturday night (about 20 minutes walk) only to be asked if we had booked as they were full !!
Extremely hot here too x
I waved at the webcam on Saturday if anyone noticed xx

I saw a handsome-looking guy on the beach wrapped in a blue flag singing "Johnny Todd." Was that you?

It was busy at a lot of places on Saturday. We had the same reaction at the new Casa Nostra, so booked for Monday. Luckily, we could get into Mistral
 Can't compare to last year as we couldn't make it but yes, it is very hot.
