A relaxing holiday in Kalami on the north-east coast of Corfu
Jun 25, 2018
The island of Corfu is blessed with a unique and diverse mix of attractions. You will discover busy coastal resorts, quaint waterfront hamlets, forests of ancient olive trees, sleepy hill villages with pastel-coloured old houses and crumbling Venetian-style bell towers, as well as the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Corfu Town. There truly is something for everyone. This blog details what can be done during a 7 night stay based at the horseshoe shaped bay of Kalami, on Corfu’s unspoiled north- east coast. Our featured self-catering property, the Kalami Bay, offers panoramic views over the Ionian and is just 5 minutes' walk (300m) from the beach and village centre. To the front of the apartments is a large, freshwater swimming pool.

Why you should visit Greece in the spring- A guest blog by Rebecca Hall
Jun 25, 2018
Greece is beautiful at any time of the year, but in our humble opinion, spring is the best season to visit the islands, especially April and May. Aside from it being the cheaper time of year to book your holiday, wildflowers start to rear their heads and carpet the fields and roadsides with their blooms, poppies can be seen everywhere, as can white clover and chamomile, and the beautiful mauve wisteria, usually seen growing over buildings on the islands, releases its scent as you stroll past. Visiting the islands during this time is ideal as many people tend to take their holidays from June onwards, hence the islands aren’t as busy, affording you the opportunity to mix with the locals more. The temperature averages 15 Celsius during the day, and April sees the country awaking from its winter slumber; restaurants, tavernas and guesthouses start opening their doors to welcome visitors. And let’s not forget Greek Orthodox Easter—usually held one week after Western/Gregorian Easter—one of the biggest celebrations in the Greek calendar. If you can arrange your trip to Greece during Greek Easter and spring, you’re in for a treat.
