Corfu highlights

Now that we are legal and are "free range", we have been exploring and wandering in Corfu town and Gouvia. Corfu town is beautiful with a lovely mixture of Venetian, French, British and Greek architecture. It's busy with cruise ships coming and going daily but, surprisingly, it doesn't feel crowded. Shops, cafés, bakeries, markets line the narrow streets, and sometimes laundry overhead, as you wind your way through the maze. The Archeological Museum houses the Gorgon Pediment from the Temple of Artemis dated 580BC and a frieze of Dionysus, God of wine, for whom I've been searching! Greek wine is double the price of Italian wine and €4 seems excessive! 🤣
Our anchorage at Corfu was calm and we enjoyed watching boats come and go, including kids in sailing dinghies, and meeting other sailors (Canadian, U.K. Danish).
We came to Gouvia and anchored off the Durrell house where they filmed the TV show. It's beautiful and is available to rent! Perfect for a (badminton??!!) group with our boat anchored outside!
The largest marina on Corfu is around the corner but we are presently anchored in a beautiful bay across from it. It's calm, the sea is 29C and the surrounding shore has beautiful gardens, a variety of trees, rocks, and gorgeous homes and hotels. What's missing are family and friends on this Thanksgiving Day🦃🍁🌽🇨🇦 but I feel fortunate to be where I am and to have all of you in my life. 😘Baca selengkapnya
