Can anybody tell me if the cigarette prices are the same this year or have they gone up? I was paying €3.80 for L&B silver last September. Also, are they freely available - I have heard they must be ordered in advance. I will be staying in Roda.

Would it be advantageous to do an excursion from the ship or would we be able to do most things on our own in Kerkyra? We will be coming their in September of 09. There are 8 of us, middle age adults.

Hi, I think my question's quite similar to the last one posted so maybe we can compare notes. I'll be staying for one night in Corfu in August, on my way back from Albania. Does anyone know of any hotels that are nice and good value in the centre or (particularly) around the port area? The Konstantinoupolis is exactly the kind of place I'd like to stay but 102 euros for a single room sounds a bit expensive.... Does anyone know of any others, or how to halve the price of the Konstantinoupolis?

Hi there! I would need to know, what would be the best way for me to travel from Athens to Kerkyra, but the flights are a little too expensive. Could you please give me a tip on buses which travel on a regular basis to Igoumenitsa or a travel agent who would offer a trip from Athens directly to Corfu city? Also I would need to know how much it would cost me...the bus trip and the ferry boat as well. Thanx a lot for the answer. Radovan

Hi, everybody! Is there any decent and inexpensive (in October) hotel/room in Corfu Town? There is a lot in beach towns, but if it'll be rainy it make sense to stop in the town. Hopefully Michael

hi Still a bit undecisive about whether to go to Corfu or Santorini. we will be going around 20th August. I will be going with my parents ( I am over 18) and both my parents are fun people and young hearted. I was told both islands are nice, corfu being very green and having really nice beaches but no idea about nightlife? and santorini having the most amazing views and compact centre Where would u suggest for a nice island experience? we like swimming, nice cafes, restaurants, lively atmosphere popular with young greeks and international people etc.. has anyone been to these two islands and can recommend which one is better? thanks Nitina

We are students/backpackers and want to hike the Corfu Trail. We only have 1 2-week period available to us before we go back to Australia and that is between 11-24 July. We have a tent and would prefer to camp to save money. Are we mad? Has anyone done this in July? Is it too hot? Is it possible to get water/food along the way?

Hello everyone, I'm visiting Kerkyra soon and was wondering how much it should cost to take a taxi from the airport to the sea port in Kerkyra town? My flight home leaves at 4am, so does anybody know of a nice cheap place to stay in town or near the airport, for my last night there? I'm also considering just finding a good bar instead! Any ideas? Thanks, Steve

I found good reviews about Bella Venezia Hotel. It seems a good choice, but I found by random Dalia Hotel. Reviews are very good at tripadvisor. Of course, it is a different category/class of hotel, but seems charming and cozy. Have your heard about it? what is your impression? thanks again!!

Hello! Can someone please advise me what is the best way to get to and from Kerkyra (mainland Greece). I wanted to travel to Kerkyra from Meteora via Igoumenitsa, and then on to Patras (having a full day on the island), but I'm being discouraged: too far from Kalambaka to Igoumenitsa, still far from Igoumenitsa to Kerkyra and apperantly no overnight/late evening or just eveninh ferry to PAtras. Can you please me with advice? Cordially, Ilya

Hi I will be on cruise that will stop by Corfu early in the morning. Have to return before night time. I like sightseeing beautiful places and shopping. Is there public bus between the port and Corfu town ? I wonder if you share your thoughts on Achillion Palace and Old Fortresses. Are they reachable by local bus as well? How long approx it will take? thanks Terence

I'm going to be spending a week in Arillas and was wondering if there are any day trips that leave from Arillas. It seems that most leave from other towns in the area but not Arillas... can anyone help me out? Alternatively, what's the easiest way to get to Roda (the closest city to me) so I can leave from day trips from there? Bus routes/times?

Since I will be spending two weeks in Kerkira I wonder if it is possible and what the price is to fly to Santorini or Rhodes from there. I suppose than going by ferry would take a lot of time. Or maybe you suggest some other excursion? Thanks in advance

Two questions, as I am intending to hire a car when I visit next month (to Arillas). How alarming are the roads? Lots of steep climbs/descents? Hairpin bends? Sheer drops? How is the maintenance? I was in Kefalonia last year (my friend drove) and some of the roads were quite, er, stimulating. Mostly in good or very good condition, though. How much is rental? Last year in Kefalonia an Atoz (tiny car) was E100 insured for 3 days (start of July). And does anyone have any recommendations for hire companies? Thanks in advance for your help.

Can anyone help with transportation between Kerkyra town and Paleokastritsa, and Kerkyra town and Gastouri? Do we take a bus or taxi or what (feel too old for two wheeled vehicles). Are there bus schedules available on line?

Me and my husband are thinking of going to Corfu this summer. would you say June or end of August/beginning of September is better? we like hot weather but not too hot (anything below 35 is ok) and we would like to go swimming in the sea so hopefully the sea will be warm. We rather it wasn't a month which is too crowded with kids though. My other question is accomodation. We have never been to Corfu before and it would be nice to stay somewhere which has been recommmended by people. (preferably with a pool). We don't want to be too far from Corfu town as I assume that's where people go out at night?

Hi there, do you know which companies fly from France or Italy to Kerkyra? Some low cost company? thanks
