Information and help please / boat trips to the islands
« on: July 24, 2012, 04:47:59 PM »
Just been reading about the San Stef travel boat trip to the islands-has anyone done it? What is it like? I'm a bit concerned cos it seems to put lots of emphasis on jumping off the boat into the sea and I'm not a strong (or brave :-\) swimmer. Surely its not the only way to actually get to the islands is it?

BTW thanks for all the replies I had about buying OTC painkillers for my teeth-you will be pleased to know I had the beggars out and have currently got 2 craters in my gum-hopefully they've healed by the time we go.... ;D

Information and help please / OTC drugs in Corfu?
« on: June 08, 2012, 01:36:16 AM »
Weird question but I am currently suffering with an impacted wisdom tooth which will not be pulled until after my holiday. If i get another tooth/gum infection whilst I'm in San Stef can I buy amoxicillin OTC in the pharmacy-I know some European countires are more relaxed about prescription only drugs than us (I promise I'm not a junkie, just too mean to pay privately to have the tooth pulled now!)

Aw, thanks Iris. ;D Not that I intend to go on holiday to watch TV but its nice to know if we do get bad weather we don't have to go stir crazy in the room! Lat time we went we had rain practically every day for the whole week-not all day but enough that we were running in and out from the pool, and we never got to the beach at all. Thats partly why we picked the Vicky this time (Last time we were in the Romanza and its lovely but too far from everything).

3 days until we go to the Vicky aprtments and the long range forecast has rain for Corfu next week >:(. If the worst comes to the worst, does anyone know if there are TVs in the room and if so what channels they pick up-is it all greek channels or do they have BBC Worldwide or Sky news or anything we can understand?

I think it was the Havana I remember seeing-I knew it had something to do with cigars!!! Now if only we can have decent weather, we can actually go to the beach!
Oh one more thing, anyone know the current rate to hire sunbeds and a parasol? (I'm a pasty red-head, the parasol is a must!)

Did I imagine it or is there a little snack bar on the beach? When we went 2 years ago, we got the only wet week in summer and never went onto the beach, but I thought I could remember seeing a cafe. Does it have a shower and loos and stuff?  ???

Thanks everyone-I suppose I can take a few bits in the case-do they really not supply loo rolls though?

Not furniture -wise! We've never stopped in an apartment before anywhere. We're stopping at the Vicky in september and I'm just wondering, do we need to take washing up liquid? Bizarre the things that you suddenly think of at 3 in the morning!  How often does the cleaner come by? Should I be taking wipes or something for the bathroom/kitchen? ???

Great-that's the sort I can NOT feel poorly on! Perhaps we could do that one-we were going to do Paleo by boat 2 years ago and it got cancelled twice due to shocking weather-apparently we had the first rain in 4 months-unfortunateky we got it for pretty much the whole week! We've definitely decided on Paleo by coach this time and maybe Corfu Town again. Thanks everyone for the help

How big are the boats? I'm not great in little motor boats, but Ok on the ones that are big enough to walk around on? And do they have a loo (For when it turns out I'm not great on bigger boats either :P  )

Has anyone done either of the cruises to Corfu Town (Day or evening)? What were they like? Do they pick you up at the hotels or do you have to make your own way to the harbour (And back, in the dark :o)?
