We spent a few days at anchor in Corfu Town. It even has an M&S. There are some lovely tree lined streets

 

 

which give very welcome shade as you walk round. Of course you can ride

 

 

 

Moving on north this shows some of the older architecture

 

 

And the fortifications

 

 

Coming into Gouvia there was this stealth Tupperware box

 

 

which is rather odd to say the least. At Gouvia I made all the arrangements to leave Minka there …..the daily rate is 49 euros per night but monthly it is very reasonable.

 

We moved on to an anchorage at Kalami which is a lovely little place but I failed to take any photos. Below is a photo of Vroulias which is a large open bay where we anchored overnight.

 

 

Leaving there we passed some very impressive houses

 

 

with beautiful sea views and a pirate ship……………..well it was flying the Jolly Roger

 

 

We sailed round the bay to Kassiopi Harbour which we had tried to get in the night before but was full. There is only room for 6 visitors

 

 

There is an derelict castle

 

 

behind the apartments. This is definitely an English tourist resort but not without charm. If all goes to plan we will work our way south

tomorrow and visit mainland Greece. The land we can see opposite this harbour entrance is Albania but we aren’t allowed to go there.
