Greece Sailing Season 2

Corfu town is a new location and we enjoyed the beautiful old town. We also checked in at the port police after our agent suggested we should get a few stamps this year. The reviews suggested this was going to be an ordeal, and in fact, they couldn't have been nicer.
We toured the sights of the town, and Gary found a chandler's, of course!
There were a lot of barriers being put in place, and the Greek policeman told us it was Reunification Day parade. It was when Britain handed the Ionian islands back to Greece, I am not sure how that's how the Greek history views it though.
