21a Corfu – Portrait or Landscape, that is the question

Todays tour of Corfu was fairly laid back, with the biggest decision being, do I take that photo in portrait or landscape.
Our driver was Dimitri, who happens to be the CEO of Corfu Taxi Private Tours, . Well I am not sure of how much of an honour it was, as all his drivers chose to take the route most taken (no pun intended), cover the traditional Corfu Highlights tours. We had done this previously, we chose to do the advanced tour. Dimitri structured our day based on the photographic beauty of the island. This meant not fighting the traffic of the main tourist traps which made this tour laid back for everyone, including our driver… 😊, hmm maybe there was a method to his madness.
Dimitri biggest claim to fame would be that he has the reddest hair on the island, which he says came from a distant English descendant (I am thinking maybe Scottish!! ).
This tour was so laid back that I really forgot to pay much attention to the names of where we visited, so If I have made a mistake, forgive me…
Our first stop was at Gouvia, here stand the remains of an old Venetian Ship yard. From there we moved around the bay to the village of Kommeno. Depending of which angle you look at it, this simple little stone white wash church seems to float on the water. Another angle it sits on the beach like one of those exclusive seaside properties.

  1. Great blogging Gaz and Jo, great to see you enjoying yourselves. We are just back from Europe, 5 weeks on Sapphire and Royal - Scandinavia/Baltics and British Isles. We have friends, Ray and Loretta embarking your ship in Southampton, they were on Sapphire with us a month or so ago doing Baltics. Keep up the good work. Safe travels, Les, (NSWP on CC)
