Hotel Astron

The most important item...

The most important item you should take with you is a camera and, of course, lots of memory space/film! There are so many amazing places to take pictures of, I took over 450 pics during our holiday... :)

another Café

by mindcrime about Café AU CHOCOLAT

Another, café along Liston, actually the last one on the right, I noticed many people ordering pizza but we just had a quick break for a coffee. I cant say much about their menu as I didn’t even see it but for some reason this place was always less crowded that the other cafes along Liston, and that’s not a good sign, isn’t it?

Ok, maybe it’s because it’s on the edge of Liston. So, drunk our chocolate (3,5e), took some pics (pics 1-2) and started to walk again (so much calories to burn after all these chocolates!) :)

Kanóni - The name of the place.

by Jerelis

At one of the last days of our visit to the island of Corfu we had a great hike starting at the city of Corfu. Our walk ended at the lovely site of Kanóni, at the southern tip of the Paloeopolis peninsula, and one of the island's main touristic attraction. It is still one of the most picturesque spots in Greece, despite the changes brought about by the rapid development of tourism in this area.

Konóni got it's name from the battery of artillery set up here by the French in 1798, which still reminds us of the island's turbulent past. One of the canons installed by the French nowadays still stands above at the little square, next to the tourist pavillion. This internationally famous site has an idyllic landscape, with the little island on which the Vlacherna Monastery is built in the foreground, and the Pontikonissi (Mouse Island), also known as "the island of Odysseus" further left. Maybe the best view can be found at the square of the tourist pavillion.

"A James Bond movie was filmed here."

Around the headland from Kalami is the pretty fishing village of Kouloura. Not much of a beach, just a narrow strip of sand and shingle under the cliffs opposite the harbour but a beautiful setting that oozes peace and tranquility.

Nice villa in the mountain of Kouloura.

A nice small town,with harbour,shops,restaurants ect.
