Yes just when you want a sunny quiet beach you can't get there!

The season is winding down now and there are very few flights going out now and by mid to end Oct the season is finished. Shame though, because the weather looks great!

I do miss Paleo. The weather looks fab and so many people using the beach, in fact, seems more than usual? Not long before our break there and counting down the days...

Platform gone. That was a quick festival and a week earlier than I thought.

I've only visited Palaeo but it seems to have two or three beaches. I stayed in Arillas , a smaller resort up in the NW which is quite relaxing. The amount of sand on the beach can be very variable due to winds but has been good this year.

James, I meant to say, there was a jetty on the right side which was pretty long with a bench on that the boats used to moor to pick up passengers but it had gone in June and sat in the main car park as it looked like it was being cleaned and painted. The other side (further right) is the rest of the beach where there are sunbeds and some steps up to Vrachos, which is a restaurant that overlooks the bay. I love the place but in high season, its nothing more than a toilet stop before the tourists board their boats or wait for their coaches back to Corfu Town and the cruise ships. Its not great really despite the beach being beautiful, its crowded most of the time and unless you are eating there, you cant get a decent table.

Oh dear, seems like the incinerator that Corfu was having must have fallen through. Anyone know? I've been twice every year for goodness how long now and it seems the problem is excessive when the tourist season beings. Worst I've experienced was last year when it rained very heavily and the rubbish started floating down the roads. In June when we went it seemed as if the issues with garbage had been sorted but seems not from what people are saying. I have to say, it concerns me as the chances of getting ill surely must be high especially in this weather and as there's also human waste in the rubbish? I'll report back when we go in early Sept.
