Nice replies guys - thanks.

I'm surprised accommodation is not a problem, maybe it’s a buyers’ market? When it was busier the owners I spoke to back then definitely wanted to keep to a strict Monday routine, well that was some 25 years ago and there are far more places to stay now of course.

Yeah a nice long drive, weeks in Corfu and then a week to get home, staying in nice Italian and French towns. Perfect Retirement planning!

Ryanair from East Midlands - only flights are Wednesday to Wednesday!

Not a lot of use, most appartments / hotels will only do Mondays, (some exceptions for Fridays)

The only god thing about Wednesday flights (if you can find any accomodation) is that Corfu airport will be relativly quiet!

Jet2, Monarch, Thomson or TommyCook for me.

Or how much time / petrol would it cost to drive to Brindisi and then get the ferry over to Corfu Town - anybody done this lately?

Even if I'd payed for the Beds I'd always have a Chefs salad (wonderful) and 2 bottles of Ice cold Mythos at Waves most lunchtimes.

Where to eat out in San Stefanos? / Re: Ilias in Avliotes

Fantastic homemade pizza and a cold Mythos, or 3, whilst looking out over the valley. We always go by scooter but this year I'm determined to find the shortcut through the olive groves and walk up there.

Been walking past these Villa's for years, next door to nafsika, behind the Olive Press.
Always speak to George and everything seems really nice. So looking forward to a couple of weeks there very very soon.

Sardines for lunch in Waves with the wife and grandaughter, after they sit by the pool and relax I walk up to Akrotori for a couple of long Corfu Gold Beers - me time - bliss.
