    Journey continues to Corfu

    August 17, 2021 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    The day starts with a huge calory intake. Delicious!
    We then start our 2h journey west to Igoumenitsa, where we take the ferry to Kerkyra, Corfu city. The landscape is fantastic, with cute villages with red rooftops every now and then. Along the road we often come across little churches the size of letter boxes. They kind of remind us of the spirit houses found in Thailand for example.
    In Igoumenitsa, we first go look for a place to print two forms we need to be allowed onto the ferry. After three non-existing travel agencies (they exist on Google Maps but only there apparently), we end up in a bookshop. Done! Only, the questionnaire is pretty much the same we already filled out online. Oh well!😅
    After an appointment at the hairdresser's for Dima and an orange juice for Mali, we get onto the ferry and off to Corfu, which welcomes us with a spectacular view of its Old Fortress.
    Arriving in Agios Stefanos an hour drive later we are convinced: Corfu truly deserves being called Greece's "Green Island". Still, it is about as hot as on the mainland and so, having arrived at our hotel, we reward ourselves with a jump into the pool.
