This brought back so many memories of a magical holiday. Fell inlove with Corfu in 1980…sooo long ago🤦🏻♀️

Honestly, I could just sit under that parasol with a large ice cold chocolate milkshake & a camera watching those planes land all day. What a lovely location to sit & chill.👍 I look forward to going to Corfu. Great video & thank you for sharing.

We made the mistake of booking a package holiday at the Multi-Story hotel you can see at 2:22 and several other times in this video. The village is called Benitses. Right overlooking the flight path and that Runway was in use All Day and All Night every single day. You couldn't even get drunk enough to pass out to get some sleep. We never slept a wink in that hotel, the planes are actually below the level of the hotels and a lot closer than they look in this video. The only way we got any sleep was crashing out on a beach somewhere near Ipsos. The approach is like a funnel so the noise is concentrated and bounces all around both sides of the flight path. Corfu is beautiful but don't get within 10 miles of that airport runway, the airport is extremely busy and the noise is unbelieveable. Worst holiday we ever had, Beautiful Hotel but holiday ruined by that runway and I would Never stay in that area again and, wouldn't recommend it to my worst ememy.

That MD-82!!! European Air Charter previously named Bulgarian Air Charter. I was driving on the other side of the airport and had to stop to watch it. It came two times in two days. Its rare to see that plane here. Also the Condor 757 almost had a bird strike on takeoff I think
the sounds of Greece. the cicadas drowned out the jets. A great spotting terrace at that bar too. Zante island runway is the same, approached over a busy road. Wow that blue banded Condor wasn't easy on the eye at all.

Someone saw the boat anchored in the bay. Said it spent hours rocking from side to side, even though the sea was flat calm. She still can hardly walk, something to do with a huge Greek sausage she ate.

Oh, what a pity. We were about another 1 km along the coast from this point and from our hotel balcony could watch the planes dropping their landing gear for this gentle final approach. Noise was not a problem there. Corfu is an emerald, we had a lovely holiday exploring, eating and bathing in the Adriatic. And those sunsets...!
@philyew36172 жыл бұрын
@@iconicshrubbery I think your geography is a bit off. Corfu is nowhere near the Adriatic. It's in the Northern Ionian Sea and, at it's closest point it's less than two miles from Albania. It's so close they have a constant problem with illegal immigrants actually swimming across to Corfu from Albania.

Sorry to hear that. You are right about graffiti. And it's not only in Corfu. It is everywhere.
