Explore the Ionian islands Corfu with a tour
I am genuinely embarrassed how long it’s taken for this episode to get released, we wanted to include it as part of a mini-series with its Ionian neighbors that’s Kefalonia and Zakynthos. but there were several months between going and then I had other episodes. I wanted to do it in a certain order.
I had thought Ionian islands Corfu was a bit of a hairdresser’s holiday location. I mean you don’t ever hear someone saying they’ve gone to Kofu and then feel a sudden swell of admiration. do you like whoa how adventurous of you? but still, Jen and I had fallen in love with Greece, and just being basically anywhere Hellenic is bliss.
Corfu is about as far up the western coast as you can be without leaving Greece. in fact, the mainland border stops about two-thirds of the way up Corfu. leaving the northen chunk of the island facing Albania.
First day in Corfu
which we did sneak over to for a day but that’s a b plot of its own for the most part it’s quite along. then island and no shock tourism has a huge role here. we were going out in April. mainly because that’s when we found the cheapest flights.
I had sort of assumed that. because this was so close to easter, that would mean there’d be a lot of activity from various countries. all decamping there for a break. but not to spoil the conclusion just yet.
this was a lot of a low season than I’d anticipated. our flight there we were very lucky as we looked all the way around Corfu and back up again. so I got all this beautiful aerial coverage of the island. yeah, that was a freevie. and Corfu airport is quite absurdly pretty. just look at it.
yeah, I’m gonna just hold on to this shot. I don’t care what you think. okay, that’s really not true.
so the capital of Corfu is Corfu which means we are going to spend the rest of this episode doing the star wars colon. okay maybe about one hour of footage just of the buildings around town I just could not help myself.
every street of ionian islands corfu just has such poetry to it, and it’s quite a labyrinth cars have to stop at the outer edge. and the streets are mostly too narrow to get a car down. the street layout does not have much of a plan to it.
we found a handy little food store down a side street the first day but when we tried to go back there in subsequent days- we never ever found it again! Not for lack of looking just even though it’s not a very large area. the street plan just somehow got the better of us. our Airbnb was in a quiet little side street just opposite this beautiful Venetian well it was a nice location.
one our first day we did a little lap roughly around the perimeter of the old town. just to get a feel for the place while we are about it this large thing you keep seeing is the old fortress.
It’s a Venetian fort. and this is where releasing the episodes out of sequence comes back to trip me up.
so erm, ok. Guess I should explain. Jen and I first stumbled across these in Crete and mainland Greece. We didn’t go looking for them they were just in the towns we were staying at and we quickly learned this very straightforward maxim: If you follow the Venetian forts – you get to A-amazing places.
Easily the happiest memories of my adult life so far have been evenings looking out over the water in the towns with Venetian forts towering over them.
Second day in Corfu
the first day was just bliss like you have a vague notion of the place you are going to but then you actually get there and you breathe in and it’s so much more than you hoped.
there was even this mushroom cloud rising above the old fortress as the sun went down like someone had detonated an adorable pink nuclear bomb on the mainland opposite.
Remind me the explain euros later I am front-loading this episode with too many digressions.
day two, Now I got up super early to see the town. now I am not suggesting, I am telling actually do this don’t make excuses. get up super early and see the town. make one of the best memories you will have this year and thank me later because of all the mountains the sun takes a little longer to appear.
Like okay fine just give me more gorgeous footage if you insist. we were getting a bus to the western coast of the island.
this is paleo castriza. the beach that had more syllables every time you try and say it there’s a monastery at the top of the rocks. which you know you can pretty much ignore in favor of the sweeping views. I mean I know me ignoring a monastery seems weirdly off-brand but what can I say it’s pretty modern. and it’s not anywhere as interesting as built.
