On to Corfu

Overnight we continued exited the Bay of Corinth and headed North up the West Coast of Greece to the Island of Corfu, or Kerkyra as it is known locally. It’s right offshore and right near the Albanian border.

Entering the harbor, already occupied by a much larger cruise ship.

That much larger (!)

Next up, youring the Achillion mansion, interesting in it’s own right, and surrounded by beautiful gardens.

Nice view of the Sea – is that a pirate ship?

Corfu has a pretty little harbor

Defended by a pretty little fort (note moat)

And has a pretty little town…

Filled with pretty people

And of course, pretty churches!

All in all, a pretty nice place … would love to spend more time here … but we are off to Argostoli.

BBQ on the pool deck.

The Windstar line have a tradition, when they leave a port, they hoist the Windstar flag and play the Windstar song…
