During the July and August family period, our one week "Paxos" flotilla switches to a two week holiday. The two week "North Ionian" flotilla cruise visits favourite spots like Sayiadha, nestled in a deep bay close to the Albanian border and St Stephanos, a beautiful bay in the northeastern corner of Corfu. The general area around Sayiadha is a breeding area for prawns which are served by the kilo. Local fish is the main item on the menu but carnivores can relax - meat is also available along with the traditional Greek salad. Another favourite of ours is Petreti which remains a fishing village of a bygone age, but a fascinating place to spend the night. We have visited Petreti for 30 years and change has happened, but very slowly and this is the way we like it! Colourful fishing boats line the quay and fishermen gather beside them mending their nets. This is one of the places where it might be beneficial to try to learn a few basic words of Greek! On our last day, we return to lovely Plataria for a final night dinner. Olga will welcome you like a long lost relative. We have a special boat hook for ejecting those who do not wish to leave!
