( Corfu
Calling )
Although
I live in Pembrokeshire, West Wales, my spiritual home is
in Kassiopi on the beautiful Greek island of Corfu / Kerkyra.
I have holidayed there for 21 wonderful years now, and even managed
to spend three seasons working there - and yes, I do mean working,
not simply having an extended vacation!
During
this time I have made some really
special friends amongst the marvellously hospitable Kassiopi people.
My favourite places there include the Kassiopi Star Taverna down on
the harbour, (watch out girls, the waiters are irresistable and
the food fabulous!),
Visions
Bar
just off the village square (the VERY BEST music, cocktails and
TV sport coverage in Kassiopi. But look out for Kostas and Alex
- the girls think they're more mouth waterring than the drinks),
Angelo's Bar - have a look for yourself ,
and
Andreas
Boat
(first
launched in July 2002 with every comfort and modern safety feature)

here in the beautiful setting of Kouloura
It was for Andreas Cruises that I worked the three seasons,
and loved every single minute of it, both on the harbour and aboard
the best
and safest boats in Corfu.
The picture of me above is taken on board an older Andreas Boat,
just outside
Kassiopi harbour (pictured below).
IIf Take
a look at Star-Mans fab web site for more
info and great photos.
And
if you want to use the net while you're in Kassiopi then there's
Jimmy's
Photoshop near
the Square.
And
if you want to experience some traditional Greek dancing then
why not call in at Kostas
Bar
(on
the way down to the harbour) any night about 10.
Any
excursion or travel needs you may have will be brilliantly met
by Mike and Vera at Cosmic Travel Office - if they don't know it
then it's not worth knowing.
And another great site I've discovered with loads of info on Corfu's wonderful North East coastline is
The Corfu Travel Guide.
Based at the beautiful little coastal village of Agni, it's well worth a look.
I could go on all day about Kassiopi, It's such a great place. But, just in case you're not interested, I'd better tell you something else about myself.
My other main passion is a life long support for Arsenal Football Club
(I know, poor, sad me, but we are top of the Premiership right now!)
I
enjoy gardening (up to a point), love playing around with my PC,
travelling anywhere (especially to Kassiopi), and music.
My
dislikes.......in no particular order:
1.
Although I adore Europe, it's people and many places in it,
I am not keen on the way the UK is going with regard to the European
Community.
We are all too diverse in character, thank God, to be governed
as 'one people'.
Free trade? Yes. Federal European government? No way!
2. 'Political Correctness' - I have no time for it.
Simple politeness and decency are more than enough.
3. Rhubarb - I detest it, but don't ask me why (maybe because
of all those school dinners of long ago?).
I
have enjoyed introducing myself and Kassiopi to you , now it's
your turn.
Please
do email me with
any comments you may have about my site, or
anything else you want to talk about. Life is all about people
and I always want to meet new friends.
Thankyou
for calling in. I hope to hear from you soon.
