Hot Summer Weather
As we enter the middle of summer here on Corfu, you can always expect a mini heat wave and that has been the case for the last 10 days or so. While the temps haven’t been in to the 40Deg mark, consistent 35deg temperatures - mixed with little or no wind has been creating some hot days. Anyone living along the coast will have missed the hottest parts of this heat wave as there is always an ocean breeze to cool off in but for those living inland or in Corfu Town, I’m sure the air con has been on full blast for a while now.From the forcast on Meteo.gr, more heat is on the way and while July does tend to be the hottest month on Corfu, I have a feeling Aug will be no snow storm!! Yet, the best part of all this is - That’s what tourists want! The beach and pool areas are always more busy and swimming in hot weather is always more enjoyable. So pack your bags, grab your tickets and come on over to Corfu for a fortnight!!!!
Hot Greek Summer!!
Three weeks into the holiday season and the summer sun is starting to really heat up. Here on Corfu, the last 5 days have been really hot, well above average for this time of year. Obviously, for the people visiting the Island, this is perfect - especially for swimming, snorkeling, scuba and all types of water sports like: ringos, paragliding, flying fish and banana rides. The crisp emerald water is a perfect temp, just cool enough to wake you up!The streets here in Sidari are starting to come alive with families and visitors from all over and hopefully the season will turn out to be fun and busy. We’ve been hearing stories from other resorts on Corfu and the news seems to be the same: “Not very busy.” The bright news so far is the Pounds rise since last year. Hope everyone has a great summer!!!
Let The Summer Begin!!!
Summer has officially started here on Corfu and from the looks of it, so far so good. The weather is great, the sea is crisp and the food is amazing. From the looks of it and from the number of people that have arrived so far, Summer 2010 looks to be better than Summer 2009! Thank God

Going On Holiday - Want WIFI?
Many resort towns around Corfu and Greece in general, have installed free wifi for all to use during the summer season. In the resort town of Sidari, the antenna has already been installed and with fingers crossed, we'll have signal by the start of the summer season.
For those living in Sidari or those that have been here before, the antenna has been placed on the roof of the mayor’s building, right next to the town church. From the rumors I’ve heard, the signal should be good for about 200m in each direction but those are just rumors.
In terms of limitations and security, I’ve heard nothing but one wonders how significant the bandwidth will be during the peak season? Especially, if people are going to use the connection for downloading media, which places a huge strain on the network - we shall see.
Villa Kamelia - Kassiopi
Another week goes by and we add another villa to our collection. Villa Kamelia is.....what can I say.....amazing. Located in the sleepy, seaside town of kassiopi, it is surrounded by olive groves and even has a small cove just bellow its location. After walking around this mini palace, we decided that it had to go on the site and made available to all our visitors. Have a look for yourself....
If you’re interested in pricing and availability, just email us and we’ll provide you with all the information we can on Villa Kamelia. You can also see more photos and details by clicking here - Hope you enjoy.
Romanza Villa - San Stefanos
Just this week, we have added a stunning Villa to our possible accommodations for summer 2010 and it is amazing in every aspect. Over-looking the bay of San Stefanos (Agios Stefanos) and will all the luxury services you might expect: heated swimming pool, steam room, master bath, lounge and the list goes on and on. Go and have a look for yourself, you’ll love it...
Villas on Corfu are becoming inexpensive alternatives to package holidays, especially if can book with another couple or with some friends. With the same amount of money, you can live in a gorgeous villa and live like kings for a week or two, who doesn’t want that.
