Calming Corfu ๐ฌ๐ทโ๏ธ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ

Arrival into Corfu ๐ฌ๐ท and it felt like everybody was still asleep… Well, I suppose it is only 10 am, and the Greeks like to party later in the day๐บ๐ผ
By midday, crowds were beginning to surface, but it still had a really laid-back feeling about it. There were no major sites that I needed to be at or committed to, so I was free to just wander, observe, and enjoy it. And that I did! Laid back Greece ๐ฌ๐ท at its’ absolute best! Yassssou ๐๐พ
Sitting in one of the sleepy thoroughfares, I ordered a cappuccino โ๏ธ and the most delicious home-cooked crêpes with lemon ๐ and sugar. The lemon took me back to the early days of this wonderful adventure on the Amalfi Coast: seems like a long time ago which is always a sign of a wonderful holiday. What a wonderful time it has been, and today is the perfect destination for reflection ๐ง๐ปโ๏ธ
While meandering the cute alleyways and strips, I came across a hat ๐ that actually suits me so that was my only purchase (… unless you include a bracelet and Greek style shirt… oh, and necklace with anchor & Greece beach ๐๏ธ towel ๐คซ) on a very relaxing Greek style day โ๏ธ๐ฌ๐ท๐
Faliraki Beach ๐๏ธ… just beautiful ๐
This is the kind of beach/rock pool made for lounging around all day; crystal clear shimmering water bursting with the purest Greek sea ๐ salt ๐ง and a gentle breeze. Slow, sensual & laidback tunes playing by a DJ in the background at the bar…everyone simply relaxing ๐ and enjoying the glorious sunshine โ๏ธ
There’s even a fresh water shower ๐ฟ to refresh yourself afterwards. It just doesn’t get much better than this!
It is so wonderful to be able to just take off your clothes and go swimming in your underpants! Nobody seems to feel self-conscious, everyone just being themselves… Magic… Watching sailboats gently drift across the water right in front of you while you swim is just so soothing & gratifying ๐ซถ๐ปโต๏ธโ๏ธ๐ฌ๐ท
Found a fantastic authentic old style family run Greek restaurant… Watch the final video to see the amazing spread that I was given… Gyros ๐ฅ with Greek salad ๐ฅ and potato, pita ๐ซ and Tzatziki! Amazing x 100 Retsinas! ๐ท ๐คค๐คค๐คค
Ah! Corfu: you give the perfect summer ๐บ vibes and then some..!Read more























TravelerMy gosh howโs that colour of that water so inviting and what a feast of food true Greek magic. Pete and I in 1986 did a sailing tour of the Greek islands and so much of what you have seen brings back so many really happy memories
TravelerOMG ๐ณ itโd be so fantastic doing that! Lucky ๐ u! The sail boats are gliding around the swimming area! Itโs like a dream! Unfortunately โwake upโ next week ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ข
TravelerOh yeah! Splendid. I fully expected to see pics of The Esplanade (town square) and the Achillion Palace lol. Itโs a beautiful island. I sooo wanted to dive in the water ๐. And the figs!!! cannot find figs that taste like that. i could eat that whole display (not kidding).
Yes, Ephie I noticed the figs too [Jules]
