Thanks Winkie. Does Aris still have the beachcomber too?

All sounds  very positive Winkie.
Lovely to see the Ozzie Oil spot being filled and the Old 2 Stars again.
Alli look forward to and we will be there very soon.

I believe he was the waiter there Karen,as he was at Fedra, a real hunk my wifie says LOL. Lovely guy with a great personality.]

[Karen]

My confusion Winkie, I thought you meant the guy, who was with the English lady who owns it. He is far from a hunk

As you can imagine, so much preparation happening in Ag Stefanos at the moment. The weather is great, and Easter is coming (next week here in Greece), so everyone working hard to get as much done as possible before the Easter celebrations!
Popped down late yesterday afternoon, and lots of pressure washing going on!
Pools are being filled, chairs and tables are being cleaned, and buildings being painted.
Yiannis grill room has been open a few weeks now, and is now joined by Tasty Corner, both are pretty busy keeping both locals and tourists fed and watered....not that many visitors at the moment, but the ones that are here are enjoying some fabulous sunshine!

Thanks Jackie-three weeks today and we will be there.
I had a few photos sent to me via Viber by pour taxi driver over the weekend.
Temperature  has been in the twenties here  - very hot for April.

All busy busy in the resort, with all of us trying to get as much done as possible before Easter. Unfortunately the weather isn't being very helpful, as we are currently sitting under a cloud of Sahara dust, with leaves a fine film of red dust on everything....not helpful for cleaning!
Pressure washers are out, and lots of painting being done to spruce places up, saw Bar 38 Spiros wielding a paintbrush today 

Lots of work going on in the new businesses......Juice Bar has had a paint job, work going on in front of new taverna opposite the wood shop, chairs outside of Mythos' new taverna opposite Little Prince, landscaping in front of old Chilly Chilli site, and it appears there are new businesses going into the empty premises next to Olgas travel, and between Zorbas and Brusko.....
So much going on this Summer!   

[maggiesaes]

Thanks all very positive stuff then.
Had to laugh at Spiros Bar 38 wielding a paint brush-a rare sight.
Plenty of new things to be seen then the clock is ticking.

We were covered in that dust yesterday.

Thanks Jackie, very heartening to read about the new places, cant wait to try them out, 6 weeks to go.

Having had a nosey through the window today, I can tell you all that the old Tereza's shop next to Peli and Maria's is now the village recycling centre!
As many of you know, Corfu has had a long running rubbish issue, due to problems with the landfill sites. Over the Winter lots of recycling centres have sprung up all over the island, and having used the one in Roda and Arillas, I have to say they are doing an amazing job, especially as they are run by volunteers.......when you see how much is going for recycling and not to landfill, it can only be a huge positive for the island.

I am not certain yet if it will be open all Summer, but if it is, hopefully everyone, local and tourist alike will get into the habit of using it!
