Yes lovely today after yesterday-  when we had Hailstones, Thunder, Lightning and heavy rain.   So great to see the sun again and although still a chilly 7c in the sun does feels somewhat milder.  Happy Monday x

Yes its been a typical Winters day on the rock. Overnight rain turned into this mornings downpour. At 10.00 we had hailstones. Its a cold bitter wind from Albania. Home all day with heating on.  However forecast looks better come the weekend. We then expect a rise in temps to 18c.....

Thursday - It's another bright day, sun is shining and a lovely bright blue and clear sky overhead.  As the wind has dropped it feels much warmer - actually just after 10.00 hours and its now 11c.    When the wind blows in from Albania that's when we really feel it as there was a heavy snow fall a few nights ago over there.  Looks pretty but bites the ole bones !! Happy Thursday All x

Yes why not come during April.  Ryan, Easy jet and BA start end of March from several UK hubs and as from Mid April so do our European visitors from Germany and Austria who enjoy the Springtime walks and wild flowers,
You will not go hungry or thirsty - remember we live here all year round.  However it may be advisable to have a car or some form of transport - village tavernas close by are open all year round and a few places will open in resort if/when they see people arriving too.  Greek Easter being the weekend of 25/04 this year will no doubt be well supported especially in Corfu Town.
Accommodation wise  - again yes you will find something - you can email san stefanos travel via their website.  I know various long stay guests who rent and start to arrive end March/Beg April.  Just ensure you have some form of heating and bring clothes for this kind of holiday.
Owners in resort also open if they have requests so you can check this out too.  My friends with a hotel in Arillas open always (Pre Covid) in April.   so yes you can find accommodation. 
April is a lovely time to visit and experience the island. We normally start BBQ-ing come April and as Easter is falling late here sure many will be doing so too......

Whilst I agree a pharmacy would be a good addition for our visitors, we need to look at this as is it a viable business venture? You would need to rent if not having your own property for 12 months and no doubt the same for the business license as a Pharmacist. With pre Covid being 5 months the other 7 months it would be idle? A handful of people whom live in resort as their year round base go to the nearest village to visit the doctor for their prescription so again there is no doctor outside holiday time in the resort area.?  Another consideration.
Whilst summer months should there be a chemist in resort unless you have a doctors prescription you can't just wander in unless perhaps you have your repeat prescription from your own doctor with you. 
Maybe one day someone will take the gamble ?????

I posted today on another popular social media site but for those not on this...Just to  let you all know as well as the Pharmacy now over in Arillas the Avliotes Chemist has re-opened.  I don't have opening hours as yet as it was their 1st day today but when I am next passing will check and report back.

The old website belonged to me for promoting the owners private bookings and I deleted it in Mid October along with the domain name. The other link was via Jet2 Holidays on their own company site.  I also deleted the Vicky's Facebook group i ran as the admin and archived it. Reviews are lifted from Trip Advisor and relate to Vicky's as the new site can't have any reviews as it is not as yet open for guests until May 2022....... the wonders of the Internet!

Yes I was rather annoyed at being used for their reviews, more so as the new owners said they didn't need me.  Most of the room pictures on site are lifted from other sites and seem photoshopped? I noticed a pink towel and a bowl of fruit too!!!!!  Plus a few stock photos chef, food etc from wherever.  I think the website is very misleading for anyone new looking to book.  Most regular guests will know the photos taken are from the newer block and the pool is not an infinity pool - well unless it has been rebuilt over this wet cold Winter? I googled at how to report misleading information via Google but it seems difficult to do......
I am glad at least it won't stand empty so this is good for the resort but find it a shame that whomever the new owners are they are using past reviews as I will not be there to meet, assist or advise.  I then am concerned that new reviews will then use my name to say I wasn't there but again those that know me also know I am no longer employed there.
I have also had to ask the 2 main FB forums to add a polite post as since this morning as many people know me after over 10 years of being on reception at Vicky's I was receiving p.m's and advise on 'how to book'.  Everyone must use the new link via the new website and their contact form or Greek mobile which is also posted as a contact.......

Yes I saw this, this morning and they have used my name in the reviews.  Obviously I won't be there as I was told by the new owners my services were not required.  Oh well at least it's good to know it will reopen which is good for the resort......
