Corfu Travel Blogs

After almost two months of sightseeing, it is great to be at a fun beach resort...the Pink Palace.  And to think I almost didnt get off of the boat. I started out spending most of my time hanging out with two American's (Maria and Jarret), a Canadian (Shawn), and an Aussie (Nick).  We we…

Klick underlined words for wiki info Today was the first time that we booked transportation through the cruise line. We were told that the harbor was too far from the old city of Corfu to walk and so we booked the shuttle bus to old Kerkyra for about 8 Euros/person. The bus took us all the way to t…

Our ship came to port in Corfu in the middle of the day on November 15.  We were a little late because of some severe storms in the Ionian Sea and all the way into Turkey.  When we arrived in Corfu though, the weather was nice and the sun was out.  Corfu is a beautiful Greek island.&…

In summer 2007, a friend from America and I took a getaway trip to Corfu, Greece.  The trip started out on a good note when I reached Corfu airport, turned on my phone, and received a text from my company, stating all workers had received a 200 Euro bonus for summer holidays!  Alrigh…

We're sitting in a plane in an airport at a place called Araxos waiting for new passengers to board so we can continue on our way to Corfu.  The plane is still pretty full of families with lots of kids, couples and randomly assorted people in age and sex on their way for a vacation. …

I went backpacking though Europe in the Spring of 2007. I'll use this blog to post pictures and stories from the trip!

Today was George's Boat.  I had read all about George's Boat on other people's travel journals, so I really had my hopes up. While I had expected more, I still had fun.  It was raining for the first couple of hours, and I really didn't feel like spending a lot of money on watersports…

Corfu summer 07

a vacation on a amazing island great nature great beaches

I guess the reason it took so long to post this is that much of my trip to Greece felt so quickly like a dream. A good dream, yes, but a dream. Hazy, not quite real and, in retrospect, really hard to capture.Maybe it's the light, maybe it was the book I was reading*, maybe it was the too-good-t…

Ik was net terug uit Australië toen een vriendin op belde of ik met haar mee wou naar Korfu in Griekenland, De genen waar ze mee zou gaan die kom op het laatste moment niet van wegen familie omstandig heden. Aangezien ik net terug was en nog geen werk of niks had zei ik natuurlijk kan ik wann…

Arriving at Corfu town's ferry port, I was so tired. I really did have a rubbish night on the coach trying to sleep, and it showed as we had a 15km journey across Corfu island to the resort of Agios Gordios. As the coach sped along bendy lanes, going up and down steep hillsides, I was trying to sta…

My first time in Europe, travelling alone, meeting many amazing people along the way.

Scuba Dived/Snorkeled in Akron/Corfu/Greece and it was heaps of fun. I saw two Octopuses, colorful fishes and coral life. I Had to eat Duck's Liver in Paree because it is a popular dishes at a restaurant called Fougart on the Champ Elysee below the Arc De Triomph. Partied hard in Barcelona after sipping red wine and eating Tapas (Octopus, fish, steak, shrimp, vegetable etc).

We have gone days without connecting to the internet - and I'm not going through withdrawal. I have one hour to do business and I thought that I would post a few photos from our stay on Corfu. Enjoy!
