Notos best of Corfu

Terrace Pension Elenor and lovely and friendly waitress there.  Owner kissed Julian on both cheeks.

We are on little plastic seat and table sets on the covered deck of the ferry, leaving Corfu after our 8 day stay.   The ferry leaves from the South, Lefkimi to Igoumenitsa on the mainland and the group next to us are coughing and spluttering having finished their strong cigarettes. We cycled through Leftimi this morning. A long straggling village or town with many churches, shops and food sellers. Ruins half built concrete villas and comfortable town houses cascading with flowers. Also a Riverside area with boats and cafes.

Chickens Notos Village

We felt very lucky to have chosen the village of Notos and Pension Eleanor for our last two nights. Such a friendly place, the people the garden Taverna Panorama, and the unspoiled countryside with paths through a little fertile area of vegetable gardens with the clutching of chickens never far off.  We heard an Otis Scops owl calling at night, and in the morning we enjoyed acsoper breakfast in the terrace with an assortment of cats never far off when there was food around.

The Panorama taverna was a paradise and we spent a relaxing afternoon in prime position at a table at the end of a pier where seven yatchs had moored in the still waters surrounding us.

We swam and relaxed and then had our supper there. A long table had been set for the yacht gathering.  We ate our meal whilst watching them come up in dribs and drabs from their boats and take their seats.
